Is tribalism a curse?

[StormMistress]

Because it feels like that nowadays. This fear mongering of ‘the other’ and only trusting people similar to you is doing more harm than good.
Fear is just a tool to create hate and then we enter a vicious cycle of hating everyone with differing opinions which leads to violence and it just never stops.

We need to stop the fear mongering tribalism and come together as humans first and foremost. Realise we are all the same at our core and love and kindness is far more healthy than hate and division.

[ArtemisSilver]

Tribalism is definitely a problem particularly when combined with the endlessly divisive oppresser naming of Marxism.

I think we're seeing the more negative aspect of tribalism as a result of the online echo chamber effect, and the decline of religious and secular community.

We don't group up for anything positive anymore, just the victim olympics and hate mongering or political saber rattling.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Get your head out of the clouds. No, we aren't all the same.

People, races, groups, ethnicities and nationalities aren't the same because all these people in some basic form have different political ideologies, different languages, different vaules, different religious beliefs, customs, mannerism and culture.

Major differences in what I said above is a receipt for conflict and constant fights and disagreements.

Tribalism is how people, groups and nations protect themselves and preserve their legacy.

[peedy]

No its more like instinct, we lived in small usually family groups or tribes for 100 thousand of years, no its not a curse its a survival mechanism and its about loyalty you are loyal to your family first than your extended family friends your town, than your state than your country

[cth96190]

Tribalism, in terms of race and family, has been hard wired into us as a survival instinct.
For that reason, I say that it is ‘good’, to use a simplistic term (because it is easy for the ill educated to understand).

[SJ1984]

You just had to be condescending, didn't you? Something isn't "good" (and I use that simple term, because otherwise you probably wouldn't know what I was going on about) just because it's natural, or has always been there, or because (according to you, anyway) it's been "hard-wired" into us. Cancer, old age and death are also perfectly natural, but are they good for us?

[cth96190]

@SJ1984
I would expect someone who has a Communist red star in their avatar to oppose the natural order.
The ideology to which I subscribe is governed by the order of nature.
That applies especially to a self-evident heirarchy among the races and a meritocracy within a society.

[SJ1984]

The "natural order"? What is that exactly? How is it defined? Why do you automatically assume that if something fits the description of being "natural" that it must therefore be good? Why this weird equivalence on your part?
You're damn right I oppose that which is considered to be "natural", because we were put on this earth to rise above nature, not wallow in it!

[VanillaSalt]

That’s not gonna happen… men hate women women hate men red hates blues and blue hates red…


We have generations growing up hating. You can’t change that with a pretty message.

[Kaneki05]

Tribalism is a evolutionary curse. Without it the world would be a better place you don't see rocks having tribalism and they be having a rolling time. Excuse the joke lmao.

[SJ1984]

Yes, it is. All forms of tribalism, but especially patriotism/nationalism, have caused far more harm than any good that could ever possibly come out of them.

[SixFootSexy]

If we had smaller governments, it would still be good. But people are trying to make a globalist state.

[Sixgunsound]

We don’t typically agree on much, but I’m with you on this one.

[Sixgunsound]

How else are we supposed to beat back and destroy the forces of globalist Marxism and their billionaire leadership who want more for themselves at the expense of less for the rest of us? By coming together and showing them that we are stronger than attempts to divide and conquer us.

[Kaneki05]

You do realise Marx is highly against tribalism and billionaires? Another guy typically saying Marxism without knowing the actual manifesto by Marx nor his idea or point.

[Kaneki05]

Most poorest guy in London and didn't even live in a country legally yet is somehow compared to billionaire leadership lol.

[Sixgunsound]

@Kaneki05 You do realize the reason Marxism and evidently fails is because of the corrupt billionaire party members stealing so much from the peasants that they get sick of it and revolt right? What do you think Xi is worth right now? What do you think Stalin was worth? Marx himself lived a pretty wealthy lifestyle off of other people such as Engels. Perhaps it is actually you are uninformed.

[Sixgunsound]

Look up Stalin’s plan to turn Soviet citizens against the “Kulaks”.

[Kaneki05]

Marx did not lice a wealthy lifestyle you need to look up your shit lmao. And thinking Stalin is Marxism when he is Stalinism. You really don't understand it Next you'll be saying Hitler was Marxism when no he was Nazi which again was a different thing following his lead. That has nothing to do with following what Marx wanted.

[Sixgunsound]

@Kaneki05 Did you look up the kulak thing or not?

[Sixgunsound]

Here’s how this is gonna work; I’ll be more than happy to have this conversation with you if you’re actually going to have it. In order for that to happen though I need you to stay focused stop obfuscating and be on the same page. None of that is an unreasonable request. You must have a PhD, or just emerged from a government secondary school and vaccination camp. The sad commentary on education today is that it’s not immediately obvious which one it is.

[Sixgunsound]

Indoctrination camp

[Kaneki05]

I won't look up anything that's an irrelevant topic Stalinism has nothing to do with Marx. First Marx was never Russian nor ever spoke to Stalin and died when Stalin was probably 5 and Stalin was just a guy who wanted to dictate because dictators do that that didn't follow any readings of Marxism as he followed his own thing called Stalinism.
Should I tell you to go look up what's hitlers plans was while talking about Putin? when they have nothing to do with each other lol.

[Sixgunsound]

@Kaneki05 it’s not often that the sheer unadulterated idiocy of a response leaves me without words, but congratulations, you sir have that honor. Well played. I’ll graciously allow you to have the last word.

[Kaneki05]

Say's the guy who don't know the difference between Stalinism and Marxism I'll give you a clue the name change wasn't just because of their names it was because they followed different ideals. If I dictated what I wanted it would not be the same as Marxism. Hell Marx wasn't even a dictator but you probably didn't get that far in your research.

[Reijen]

Tribalism is a feature. Cohesion amongst a group with shared values/practices/traditions/history/etc.
Can have a downside though.

[loveslongnails]

I don't trust "only" people like me - I'm white! LOL

[007kingifrit]

tribalism is the norm. diversity is the curse

[Anonymous]

Straight Men need to rule everything and have control. Anything outside of that is nonsense

[RobEurope]

Tribalism isn't about hate. Its about live and let live. To each his own community.

[NathanDavis]

sounds easy enough... lol

[IsoUser]

You seriously need to calm down please

[StormMistress]

Lol i am im just on a philosophical mindset today 😆

[IsoUser]

I honestly don't even know what you're talking about. Just please calm down okay?

[StormMistress]

I am calm lol

[IsoUser]

Well Thank God for that, Geezz

[Jouth]

dude I'm not in a tribe

[Dimension453]

Yup. It's a curse. Everything you said.
