I feel sorry for you that your experiences of fellow humans have been so unrelentingly negative. To clarify your position, are you saying groups of humans are incapable of altruism?
I'm saying that:
Human groups are capable of altruism toward perceived members of their group - "perceived" includes people like members of their group.
Human groups are ruthless to those outside their group, particularly towards lone people and weaker groups.
Solitary, unpopular people like myself are ravaged by everyone precisely because we have no protection and offer no threat to organized groups.
I've never had a the opportunity to join a group because I was not born into one in the first place, and people will only tolerate those already in a social group. Everyone objectifies me and insists that I am their property.
