Many claim that leftists hate the West, but I think most leftists criticize the West so much because they hold it to a higher standard. Likewise, I criticize the left more than the right—not because I believe in the left less than in the right, but because I believe in it more.https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1214748892060880898 …

I have to disagree that it's unavoidable. If your aunt is a drug addict, you can't possibly hold her to a higher standard than a stranger who isn't. This why people often become estranged from families--differing values & circumstances.

You'd likely see a drug-addicted aunt as more redeemable than a drug-addicted stranger, and do more to help her. Similarly, right-wingers tend to be more tolerant of their own govts harming foreigners than they are of foreign govts harming compatriots.
