re: #437 Talking Point Detective
When I use it, I mean it to refer to a tendency towards acting out of a group identification, castigation of the “other,” - members of another tribe.
The first part makes a little bit of sense, if you’re saying people have this false idea of group identity they’re subscribing to. The latter doesn’t make much sense— there’s nothing inherent in a tribe that castigates the ‘other’. Sure, human history is full of wars between groups, but it’s also full of groups living peacefully with each other.
