Tribalism is a fundamental facet of our species. Aspiring to act as if it weren't is not a strategy likely to achieve much beyond lamentations.

- Zigurd 11y agoNationalism != tribalism. Nationalism exploits tribalism, in the way that casinos exploit other natural cognitive disabilities. That does not doom all of us to losing our savings at the casino. In fact gambling has a much longer history than nationalism. 20th c. nationalism is a johnny-come-lately, like video poker machines, and could be a passing fad.
