No, this is very traditional tribalism where people of different skin colours and religions are vilified and blamed for anything and everything as convenient to the narrative. The same tribalism that’s been using ethnic cleansing as a solution since we were primates. The same tribalism that invents enemies to silence disagreement and disenfranchise dissenters. The dissenters would be the individualists in this case, and would likely be thrown over the walls.
None of those things relate to the core definitions of tribalism AFAIK, and if they did, then you might as well just say that modern humans at heart are far more toxic and destructive than just about any other species ever known.
Humans have been tribal - social creatures for millions of years (but probably much longer) and have barely left a footprint across that time. It’s our natural state, same with chimps and various other creatures. Sure it’s ugly at times, but it’s not insanely destructive.
What you’re really talking about are various consequences of the development of sapiens, more specifically high-populace, higher-tech, late-stage organisations of such. There may not be one particular word to sum the whole thing up, but it certainly isn’t “tribalism.” That said, it might be described as ‘the very worst aspects of tribalism, narcissism, fear and hate on super-steroids, acting on the national and international level.’
