after all, don't we all hate feeling helpless and powerless to defend a loved one from harm?

@Misomania you are giving humans more complexity that the nature behind it

Humans are still animals

social ones

im not saying tribalism is the only drive

but i believe triblism its a complex form of interconnected reactions

Human intelligence be like

every time you defend someone you love you are enacting it

like when a dog deffends his owner

so given a vague image of the one whom harmed our loved one... can't we become obessed about it to the point of being poisonous with hate?

Yep

thats tribalism

in its base

that member can be from our own 'tribe'

doesn't matter

still we tend to create subdivision on tribes

our closest members are our innermost tribe members

And scapegoat someone without actually solving a problem

someone can say they hate all bowlers, because that is the descriptor we focus on

i can never fully accept someone with anime avatar into my tribe

im a pariah in most tribes tho

I reject nationalism

So i could betray any country

and i wouldnt give a fuck

YOU HHHHWAT`?

in fact the hatred of men by feminists I think follows that very pattern

yep thats a large and scary form of tribalism

since its the most primal one

but complex ones like families are still a form of tribalism

the hatred of the rich by socialists again is one that bypasses stuff like race

albeit a more complex one

Again tribalism can come from race, culture, ideiology, belief or relationships

I am ethnically russian...
...born in gulag on the territory of current Kirgizstan...
...who then grew up in Lithuania...
...and currently living in Germany

even nationality

nationalism its a form of tribalism

religion another
