There’s no incongruence in criticising both. Don’t be a tribalist arguing for one over the other; criticise each for what they do wrong, and praise each for what they do right.

Argue for a better world for all instead of wishing for others to be worse off.

There's no incongruence as you say, but focusing on problems in other countries where you have little to no first hand knowledge or influence and no real skin in the game is just a distraction.

We can criticise the US and the EU at the same time.

It's almost like its different people.

It is also the same people, criticising the USA for the bullshit they do, and the EU for the bullshit they do.

Not sure why it needs to be camp X vs camp Y, the same people can criticise both...

There is this sudden resurgance of jingoism to account for that.
