Why i’m supposed to care less about iranian children being killed in war? Is it because their government is evil? Isn’t our government bad too?

Geographically yes, but I was mostly referring social and ideological distance tend to be even more important that geography, especially in modern times.
Goal post moving doesn’t sound too rigid now does it? Human nature seems to be awfully flexible in the right hands
Saying “people consider them to be closer to those they talk to the most” isn’t moving the goalposts. I’m sorry I didn’t dumb it down enough.
No, you said that now, in modern times, that means ideological closeness, not merely geographical. Somehow, human nature seems to have shifted. If it can shift like so in the transition to modern times, I don’t suppose this appeal yo human nature could also shift in an imagined future. That it is not such an immutable quality - that even you have conceded as such by your own reply.
