Well, obviously this wouldn't hold for, say, paperclippers ... but while I suspect you may disagree, most people seem to think human ethics are not mutually contradictory and are, in fact, part of the psychological unity of humankind (most include caveats for psychopaths, political enemies, and those possessed by demons.)
Such a (highly complex) rule is known as a "program".
As a bonus, the exception class of "enemies" and "immoral monsters" tends to be contrived to include anyone who has a sufficient degree of difference in ethical preferences. All True humans are ethically united...
I'm torn between grinning at how marvelously well-contrived it is on evolution's part and frustrated that, y'know, I have to live here, and I keep stepping in the mindkill.
Of course, I'll note they're usually wrong. Except about some of the psychopaths, I suppose, though even they seem to contain bits of it if I understand correctly.
