This is correct. They don't care. It's just in-groups to protect and out-groups to bind. It's "what's good for me right now?". There's nothing deeper.
By any reasonable metric they are bad people
as soon as the outgroups are gon, they turn on thier own in-groups eventually.
Oh yeah, I think that's part of the fascism standard set. Like first it'll be non-christians, and then catholics, and then the "wrong" kind of protestants.
There's some political cartoon that was like
Gay man pushing a trans person off a cliff. nazi smiling.
Gay man: "Glad we worked together to get rid of the trans menace! What next?"
nazi: [keeps smiling]
Gay man: [concerned expression]
nazi: [pushes gay man off the cliff, too.]
Side note: I hate how markdown doesn't do linebreaks unless you add two trailing spaces on the end of the line, or add a whole ass extra line break.
