I’d guess economics is the only thing that can really unite people across all cultures. I live in an upper middle class Midwestern suburb , and my neighbors are Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Jordanian, Nigerian, Kenyan, and the people we bought our house from had Nepalese names based on a few Google searches.
If we just make everyone rich, maybe they won’t want the world to burn?
- lotsofpulp 6y agoHaving disposable income is a culture itself, and different levels of wealth/income can be broken down into different tribes as well. Economics is also at the root of tribal disagreements. It’s all about securing assets for your tribe, and that doesn’t just mean money. It could also be the unquantifiable qualities that make up a stable tribe, which are found less frequently in tribes with less security of housing, food, energy, and opportunity. “You are the company you keep” is a popular saying that sort of touches on it.
