Do you really think these people don't know what true north is ? Do you really think they don't know what is right and wrong. Of course they do. Of course they know you shouldn't do something to someone, you wouldn't want done to you. People with character and standards, and morals and ethics don't need a compass, they will do the right thing because that's who they are. They choose to do the right thing , not because of fear tactics or consequences, they do it because it's right. People who lack character, have no morals, no conscience,just don't care. They know what the right thing to do is, but unless it serves them in some way to do the right thing ,or it's easier than doing the wrong thing,they will choose to do what benefits them. They know it's wrong before they even do it, they don't care. No moral compass can fix that. They are thoughtless, selfish, self-centered, and self-serving, they have no conscience. You can't give a conscience to the morally bancrupt. And no moral compass will help them choose to do the right thing. They don't care who they hurt, who they effect who they damage or what havoc they wreak.They are usually the first ones to point a finger and blame someone else or something else, they will never hold themselves accountable. If they held themselves accountable they wouldn't have done the wrong thing to begin with. All we can do is hold them accountable, and try to prevent them from being in a position to hurt alot of people, like voting them into office.
