The Teutonic/Nordic eq. to the golden rule can be summed up as "don't be an untrustworthy violent deceitful asshole, because people will gang up on you and wipe you out".

Call me a savage, but that rings much more true for me as sound advice. On the other hand, there's no conflict between that and the golden rule - may go towards explaining the success of the descendants of the Celt, Norse, Teutons and such.
