My question was, what is different about the actions?

Thank you, so they are identical actions that are treated and regarded
differently despite your claims that they are not the same actions.

The circumstances are the the same. The reasoning or thinking is what is
being assessed and having label of morality applied.

What you are calling moral, is merely a question of what is popular and
socially acceptable. I grew out of that phase by the 8th grade. If being
an assertive adults constitutes being a sociopath then, so be it.

I imagine then that your willingness to agree with what is popular or
common is an avoidance to be labeled as a sociopath. Keeping you in line
is a breeze.
