given that you do not consider these good-to-ingroup-bad-to-outgroup people "mean or bad people", who do you reserve and apply that descriptor for? any examples?

A middle class dad that's anxious about not having enough cash being told consistently for years that 'others' want more of his money may be a bit selfish or lack perspective but he's not a "bad" person. The same way a substance abuser isn't a "bad" person.

Those who feed toxic beliefs/prey on folks' insecurities for personal gain, range from misguided/unscrupulous to bad.
