High glorifiers minimize and deflect their own group’s atrocities.

Evidence

Beliefs in the superiority and impeccability of the ingroup could easily lead people to see less injustice in ingroup wrongdoings (e.g., oppression, violence). Also, as glorification is concerned with preserving the image of the (allegedly superior) ingroup, threats to such an inflated image are likely to result in the deployment of defensive strategies. Therefore, high glorifiers likely see less need for reestablishing justice and respond to their own group’s atrocities by subjectively diminishing the impact of the ingroup’s actions and by derogating the victims. — Bernhard Leidner et al., Ingroup Glorification, Moral…, 26
