I tried that argument years ago. I'm just convinced these people want the world to suffer. There isn't any other explanation. Cruelty for the sake of it. Cutting off their noses to spite their face.

There is though. They wanna plunder other countries and shut out their refugees to keep more for themselves. I go over to your house, trash the place and take all your valuables, go back to my house and lock it tightly so you can't get anything back. I have no interest in improving your situation, my goal is not the cruelty itself but my material benefit at the expense of whoever is a viable victim.

It's all about redistributing resources from the many to the few, to the in-group. Both materially supporting the out-group or letting members of the out-group into the in-group would completely defeat the purpose.
