"...and I saw how to the tribe factor plays a huge role in one's allegiance and political stance."
Unfortunately, it gets even harder.
Scene: Bloomington, IN Saturday city farmers market.
A vendor named "Schooner Creek Farms" was outed by an FBI informant and a hacktivist collective that the owners were Identify Evropa. Because the market is run by the city, the city refuses (or has no cause to) throw them out.

Even worse, there was a spraypaint attack on a church locally. Swastikas, and the like were some of the things done. Turns out, one of the 2 white males worked at the local co-op food market. The co-op runs their own 'Nazi-free farmers market' sinice the city is unable/unwilling to eject Schooner Creek Farms.
This whole situation is still ongoing. We had last week the head of Identify Evropa, now called "American Identitarian Movement", make a presence and buy produce in support. It's pretty terrible, with no end in sight.
But yeah, even organic veggies have significant politics enmeshed - and sometimes those politics are ones that nobody in their right mind would ever buy from had they know. I know I bought unwillingly from them.
