Yes, but I see that as a distinct lack of empathy. And why so? As i already said, groups are inherently abstract. We don't empathize with groups, we empathize sith individuals inside of them.

Blind devotion to a group is not empathy, it's tribalism, and is inherently leading to "us vs them" mentality, that every politician loves so much to leverage.

And the only way to evolve is through powering through urges like that...

By powering yourself through, you'll just wear yourself down, feeling absolutely miserable before snapping into apathy. It's a completely unrealistic and unfair expectation towards anybody, not far from christian dogmatics.
