Not exactly “tribalism,” but “individualism,” at least in the States.
Classic tribalism has many fine features, and is in fact how we got here as a species, across millions of years. FUN FACT: did you know that the human species (“Homo” and relatives) goes back about 2.4million years, and through ~99.9% of that time, we successfully existed in a tribal / clan state?
IMO individualism also had great features, but when you mix in the concept of money… oh dear.
The only reason the human race survived is empathy.
That’s a fine, simple-minded and idealistic thought, and the downvotes upon fact & reality above are hilarious to me. But nah-- empathy is a MAJOR component upon tribalism, which in various ways was the original “Democracy.”
Study it more, and you’ll see it over and over again, my lad. With respect.
