Loyalties of different scopes do not conflict, only same-scope ones do

Evidence

Within the context of the Common Ingroup Identity Model, the development of a common ingroup identity does not necessarily require each group to forsake its less inclusive group identity. As Allport (1954/ 1979) noted, every individual belongs to multiple groups and “concentric loyalties need not clash. To be devoted to a large circle does not imply the destruction of one’s attachment to a smaller circle. The loyalties that clash are almost invariably of identical scope” (p. 44). — John F.

Similarly, as denoted by the “subgroups within one group” (i.e., a dual identity) representation (see figure 5.1), we believe that it is possible for people to conceive two groups as distinct units within the context of a common superordinate identity (for example, as citizens of a city within a state, parents and children within a family, or marketers and accountants within a company). — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 576 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
