Nothing you just said backs up the argument you were making earlier that who you are nice and mean to is "two sides of the same coin" and it's impossible to be nice to both (or mean to both based on the mirror comparison). You're giving a fine explanation that there are different motives involved in the treatment of insiders and outsiders, but that's much more general and nonspecific.
I'm not getting into a discussion about tribalism in general right now. You made a strong claim that goes well beyond what I normally think of as tribalism. Do you have a scrap of evidence or research for that claim?
