RE: Is "Tribalism" Good, Bad or Indifferent? Is "Us vs. Them Our Strength or Our Downfall?
Got that exactly backwards, tribalism is the base state of mankind - multiculturalism is an enlightened step forward in a world of tribalism.
I have confidence that humans are still evolving and will someday find a better way to resolve the inevitable conflicts which arise among tribes -- no matter the definition one uses for "tribe". I also have confidence that someday the USA -- arms maker and supplier to the world -- will reject military-industrialism in favor of other "toys"
Unfortunately, it feels a bit like the USA has recently been cycling backwards towards increased nationalism and more extreme "us vs. them" thinking.
Amen to that!
