Family is the original in-group, and we still see people worldwide who are loyal to family, even when that family does horrible things, over outsiders. You see groups who shun outside or institutional justice and prefer local in in-group justice.
Whether you are in-group or out-group has historically been a major determinant in how you were treated. Someone may be kind, giving, charitable, and regarded as a good person by their family, or country, or race, and at the same time do horrible things to people in the out-group, justified by protecting their in-group.
This is why the present day polarization is so harmful and many people are trying to stop it, unfortunately many efforts to do so get pigeonholed into the in or out group ideology.

Limited identification is a pre-requisite to be STS.
Once it's getting broaden and broaden one will start it's progress of transforming towards STO.
