It's like saying, "I loved Joe. Would have done anything for him, at any moment. Anything. Nothing too small or great. But today I won't go near his wife, his kids, his house, his dog, his extended family, or any of his other friends. Can't stand any of them.... but I really loved Joe."

Yes, it's all rather telling. The LC wants to take things here and there from each group, but they don't really recognize any of those groups as legitimate beyond that.
