This wasn't precisely what I was initially talking about, but it fits in well with your continuing argument.
We also have agreed upon political and legal norms that are actively being challenged, I won't be more specific due to the setting, but the point is you have a lot of norms that people are dissatisfied with and they're resisting them to the applause of many, which is fine. But they also want to lean on the agreed-upon norms that still work to their benefit to extract altruism from others.
EDIT - people accuse me of verbosity, so let me try brevity. Central point is, whenever people start saying 'we're all in this together' I get this mental image.
