Yep! The western exceptionalist mindset comes first, then they license themselves to believe that that which supports them is "good," and then absorb "other thing bad" through osmosis. They all are required, which is why breaking any of these legs tends to radicalize people.
Incidentally, I can't recommend this book enough, it lays out how this whole mindset was cultivated since the end of WW2.
