There's a difference between real charity and a charitable impulse. A charitable impulse is good and it's what's being measured here. Real charity as it exists in our world breeds horrible dependency issues and is responsible for keeping entire continents in a state of forced infancy.

Nazis probably had great big charitable impulses towards one another and those that looked/behaved like them. If they were mindful they probably would've observed their biases.
While you're gathering data for that counterfactual, you may want to look into how Japanese fascists used mindfulness to transform its army into perfect soldiers.
Well neither of them were successful so we're both clutching at straws.
