    The world is way more tribalistic than most people realize.

    You say or do anything that goes against the tribe you’re in, you’re going to have a bad time.

      That’s pretty much all it is or has ever been. I’m fine with it though. We are what we are.

      I’m just happy to be here to play a little music and video games.

      My tribe’s music of course. My tribe makes the best music. Of course I feel that way.

      I think you have it backwards. People realize tribalism so intrinsically it doesn’t even register.

      The beauty of the social justice push we’ve seen from the 70s to today is that it actively tries to counteract the human tribal instinct to create a more fair and inclusive world. Granted, I’m not sure how successful it’s been at removing tribalism… it just seems to have redefined the tribes.

        Yes, I’m referring to the school or community as the tribe.

        Even if they’re wrong, since there’s more of them than you, they’re right.

          They can be so right that they all collectively drink poisoned Kool-Aid.

          Tribal behavior is simultaneously humankind’s greatest strength and its greatest threat.
