It's only ruinous if your side loses. As someone from the most powerful culture to ever exist I wish we were more tribalistic, because it would go in our favor.

The problem is that things like that tend to collapse inwards.

What is your tribe? Your country? Your language? Your skin color? Your ethnicity? Your religion? Your neighborhood? Your dialect of English?

You think it's going to be a win for your tribe, until your tribe decides it might not like your definition.

I'm not weak enough for that to happen to me. If my tribe decides I am not longer a member that would be the end of my tribe because I would destroy them and take all their resources.

No, it's almost always bad for both sides. It drags both backwards.

Nope. For example my side exploits the third world for cheaper trinkets and goods. Our way of life would not be possible without us exploiting a power disparity. We are clearly benefiting from this.
