Yep. Lysandre operated philanthropic programs, but he was too giving; the more he gave to the populace and the more he hoped things would get better the bitterer he got when things didn't and people largely stayed the same. So he viewed most people as inherently trash, deserving of death so the 'worthy' could survive, ie Team Flare. Who was populated by rich kids who literally paid their way in and scattered like cockroaches when Calem, Serena, and Shauna kicked Lysandre's ass and their Secret HQ was destroyed.
