It shows how much my European ancestors thought about only themselves, since "we", "group", "community", etc. have no capitalization needed for them. Thus, from now on, i will show that i do not care only about myself, since this is what i feel, and i will not capitalize it again. (unless it begins a sentence)

No, you're correct. I learned that in a class somewhere.
