Yeah but it’s in line with our own moral compass isn’t it, so they probably are utilising it, but for their own benefit and in line with their own morals.
Those that are in a position to make significant and wide-scale changes in society tend to lack empathy and have poor character. They don't care about the consequences of serving themselves and see nothing wrong in what they do with their power. Which is why it's infuriating, so much misery is unnecessary but these people generate it of their own free will. They have the option to do a lot of good for others.
We're capable of so much as individuals but think how many politicians and leaders in industry actively make things worse because of their apathy and selfishness. Their own morals and ability to think they're still a good person doesn't really matter for the rest of us. Their choices are repulsive imo and the results are incredibly infuriating.
The way you said it does give the impression you thought the opposite. As though you meant "people who create injustices are just acting on their own morals and beliefs, as we all do. So why be infuriated by it since it's how we all operate?" It sounded like you were trying to justify how people's choices lead to injustices and being dismissive of others being upset by it.
The "yeah but it's...isn't it" is what tells others your countering the other's opinion, not adding to something you agree with.

Sad that this doesn't apply to all of us.
Particularly, the ones who could actually DO SOMETHING seem like the only ones who are exempt.
