I hope you learn to see it's just another aspect of being human. We form emotional and psychological attachments to people and groups, and when they are threatened, we align ourselves in support against the threat. Many books have been written by many people, almost all therapy and much of psychiatry is involved in dealing with the effects of this, people are constantly being unfair on the one hand and overgenerous on the other without being conscious of doing so. And the reasons behind each instance are even less obvious to us, and even when 'revealed' and explored usually remain very cloudy and vague. There's precious little satisfactory clarity at the end of it all. It's the way a human being works.
I'd also add that because of this, sociopathy is regarded as a trait we all possess. There are differences in how pronounced it is, and how people deal with it or exhibit it. Personality is more like hair colour. You're blonde, you're brunette... when you look at a head of hair, it's thousands of individual strands of differing tints and colours, and when you put an individual hair up to the light, you can see how each one can contain different shades, and each one will look different under different conditions.
