I think it's a matter of me developing stronger feelings towards things near to me or that threaten things near to me. And I think that's gonna be the case for most people.

On an purely logical, intellectual basis, I have no qualms on calling CCP hundreds of times worse than Google.
But on an emotional basis, I simply don't feel as threatened by the CCP as I do by Google. As such, any emotions I develop concerning the two will be stronger towards the one that I feel hits closer to me.

It's like how we know poverty in Africa is awful, but we're generally more concerned about the minimal wage in our own countries. People just get more involved emotionally towards things that are closer.
