He may well 'go to hell' in a flood, however, the point in terms of survival of a society, is that altruism and working together tends to be more successful.
You limit whom you are willing to offer altruism on a basis of ethnicity rather than species, which is basically all humanism is saying on the matter.
I agree however, that broad altruism such as humanism has a more dilute effect than specific altruism towards only people who share common traits with you.
While I disagree with you on many points, I can understand your vitriol towards western countries, we are hardly paragons of working together.
Strategically however, interest only in your own "kind" is faulty as it creates a minority of your own, which, in terms of morality, can hardly be blamed if they equally consider that you "kann sich zum Teufel scheren" yourself.
In short; you are a small scale majority, which when lacking in altruism for any but yourself, makes you a larger scale minority in world.
It is telling that a country founded on a conception of a fascist state, has had to do its best to outwardly distance itself from the concept.
Probably not for this thread however, but I'd like to discuss it with you at some point, because I do not have sufficient background to discuss it fully without faulty assumptions.

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm
