deliberately victimizing the weak is a poor design for maintaining a society is not even remotely a good fit for

rewarding behavior that hurts others is never a good idea One suggests that (eg) Laws have been instituted for the purpose of encouraging victimization. I read your version as "only mutually positive outcomes are morally acceptable", which you seem to be advocating (now exclusively) for those "less developed".

People using the more developed stages of moral reasoning do not need my advice. Fair enough. But what makes your advice more "valid" than the level of moral development of someone who believes that stupid people need to be responsible for their own choices? This is simple the Liberal/Conservative dichotomy rephrased: do we need to protect people from themselves? does potential (group) harm outweigh actual (individual) benefit?

Rewarding behavior that hurts others is never a good idea, no matter how minor the harm. You don't find a moral judgement such as yours to be somewhat subjective, and in your particular phrasing, far too broadly applied? You may be interested in Moral Development, specifically Kohlberg's Post-Conventional stages. I do agree that deliberately victimizing the weak is a poor design for maintaining a society.
