Unfortunately most humans -- and this includes the humans posting on this thread, including me -- suffer from tribalism, and "it's okay when my side does it" overrides all the other rules.

Fixing this is really hard and requires constant application of lots of energy.

It is less "its ok because it is my tribe" and more "i will not risk my standing within the tribe by speaking up against this".
