Consumers in general.
Of course HN will even have people openly say things approaching:
"In my value calculus, it is only rational to swerve the vehicle to plow through a sidewalk full of photogenic preschoolers on a field trip, to maximize my chance of survival, and increase the likelihood of my genetic material propagating and out-competing that of others. Nature has always selected for behavior such as this, and it is only right. It repels me that others do not think this way, or are too weak to admit it, because they are inferior in intellect and strength of will! Hence why I and my spawn shall be the rightful leaders over them!"
Vigorous gestures and armbands are optional.
My gut feel is that most people either don't think like that, or -- to the extent they do think a little like that -- they're selective about where and how they voice it.
