futurkDo people hate each other more each passing day, or is it just hate getting more and more blatant with internet?
Endgame capitalism is squeezing harder since the 2008 crash and then Covid. They predicted polarising of politics and ideologies. We’re seeing tribalism as a reaction to fewer resources and harsher conditions, all of which are down to greed and oligarchy. They’ve succeeded in getting us to fight amongst ourselves instead of them.
JohnnyEnzymeWe’re seeing tribalism
Not exactly “tribalism,” but “individualism,” at least in the States.
Classic tribalism has many fine features, and is in fact how we got here as a species, across millions of years. FUN FACT: did you know that the human species ("Homo” and relatives) goes back about 2.4million years, and through ~99.9% of that time, we successfully existed in a tribal / clan state?
IMO individualism also had great features, but when you mix in the concept of money…… oh dear.
starlingukThe only reason the human race survived is empathy. Not clans and tribes killing other clans and tribes.

That’s a fine, simple-minded and idealistic thought, and the downvotes upon fact & reality above are hilarious to me. But nah– empathy is a MAJOR component upon tribalism, which in various ways was the original “Democracy.”
Study it more, and you’ll see it over and over again, my lad. With respect.
