The governance of affairs on this planet seems to me like a legitimate instance of this phenomenon... kind of like a wife who defends her husband even though he abuses her. It is indeed true that in almost all such cases there is an even more abusive husband out there, but that does not make the other abusive husbands good in an absolute sense. It is funny and interesting how differently people interpret abstract matters like this depending on what the object level topic is.
