It seems to me you are going crazy with identifying special interest groups. Each of these groups work for the interest of a certain group of people, and often do harm to another group with competing interests. For example, a corporation my work for the interests of it’s executive and stockowners, but that interest comes into conflict with their labor union and employees.
The result is not so much a compass as a list of special interest groups.
Holmes directed rights did not extend to harming others. The Neo Wiccans asked its followers to do no harm. A Christian is asked to love thy neighbor, where a neighbor is defined by the Good Samaritan parable as anybody. These similar principles provide a compass, expressed differently, containing the same core.
These can be applied to each special interest group. Does their concern for their own group extend as far as harming others, with or without intent? Now that... that is a moral compass.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
