I believe it’s also the case that tribalism is the norm throughout human history and the authors of the article are of the neoliberal mindset that in-group preference is immoral because it defies egalitarianism.
But I also can’t help but notice that such ‘narcissistic’ in-group preference dominant groups seem to be doing really well for themselves. The Amish and Hasidic populations are doubling about every twenty years.
- pphysch 5y agoCollective cohesion and "group narcissism" are not identical. Virtually every successful group has relatively high cohesion. Some of them also have exceptionalist/"narcissist" tendencies, like Nazism, Soviet Communism, Zionism, American Exceptionalism, neoliberalism, et al. But you can have a successful, cohesive group without being fascist.
