I wonder when leftist “historians” will depict Confederates wearing MAGA hats.
I don’t know if tribal is the right concept. Does tribal describe Stalin’s control of Russia or Hitler’s control of Germany? This is a very modern phenomena, most fully detailed in fiction by Orwell and in non-fiction by Solzhenitsyn. It’s much more powerful than tribal. The author is right, however, when saying “bias” doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what’s going on here. I just have a problem with the idea of “tribal” being a fit description.
How about this “Frontline” interview.

Abel and Ola Osunadairo must have been channeling Dave Chappelle before they attacked Smollett.
Journalists are no longer interested in being objective and reporting factual events. They’re interesting in being spin doctors pushing their own narrative.
Jussie Smollett hurts Gays, he hurts African-Americans, he hurts the USA, he hurts himself and his career is finished. He will become like Kathy Griffin, Jim Carrey and the USA biased media. These game s are over......folks. Trump will win big time in 2020.
Probably soon. In any case, if this kerfuffle cause ‘juicy’ to do something to himself——————watch out, because-—TRUMP!
Why did the media fall so swiftly for the Jussie Smollett hoax?
Why did the media fall for the Bush national guard memos?
Why did the media fall for the Duke Lacrosse rape story?
Why did the media fall for the UVA Rolling Stone rape story?
Why did the media fall for the Russian collusion election story?
These are the only major stories on the top of head.
These questions are asked all the time and yet they don’t seem to be learning.
Something just struck me two days ago while watching a documentary on a history channel.
All Native American land is always described as “sacred land”.
I wonder when leftist “historians” will depict Confederates wearing MAGA hats.

It happened in Charlottesville in 2017 — the media and virtue signalers depicted everyone who went here just to protest statue removal as a violent white supremecist.
he hurts himself and his career is finished.
I don’t think that is true at all. Can you give me some evidence of someone on the left being held accountable?
Smollett is black and claims to be queer. His fame results from playing in a black genre TV series.
A black said to be queer will get work in that tiny genre
To Greenfield's credit, while he seems to get it, he has a wider, more general audience which forces him to use metaphors as code words to describe the situation.
Not those of us freed from the shackles of correct thinking, however. No, we're free to properly and correctly call the social conflict CW II. Conjecture as to "tribes" isn't necessary, which allows a more concise summation of "tactics".
That is, in all war time planning and execution, there are goals, objectives, strategies and tactics. The enemy controls a key asset in the form of its militarized information wing. Division and discord are no different from bombing targets and occupation plans when considered in total. The idea of a vanguard group to shock, surprise and soften a target is a very old concept.
Once viewed in this context, surprise, outrage or dismay (oh, I can't believe this is happening in America!) are unnecessary emotions. It's just the war, and the enemy is just utilizing and deploying some of its core assets.
BFD - in the end game, they are no match for actual action, with the end result being occupation and barred participation. A 'reconstruction' if you will.
What the hell is an indigenous elder? It’s like sanitation engineer for garbage man.
Old degenerate meth heads deserve respect from no one.
The media and the left are complicit in wanting to eliminate Whites (Christians), especially males. To do so, they have to generate hate. Since there is no reason to hate, the left makes up stories and promotes them.
The left is obsessed with their hatred for Whites. They are doing everything they can to eliminate Whites, after taking all their money.
Good analysis. Good post. Thanks.
I agree...he will get work from his nutcase pals and buddies...but...he will never amount to a hill of beans. What a dummy. And...he might end up in jail for being cute, committing a felony, but, as dumb as one person can get. brain dead dude, brain dead Media!!! LMAO!!!
You are right, and I would add a couple of other ingredients.
But first, having been a student of anthropology for more years than I care to say, the author is right about the tribal tendency to name itself by the word which means “the People” in their language, and to name their enemies “the bug-eaters” or some other pejorative, and the tribal outlook as us vs the world, and the tendencies in warfare to chip away at territorial boundaries, and to humiliate the opponents’ warriors when they capture them (all very valid and observable in ethnological studies).
Your mention of Solzhenitsyn is very valid. His observations, and those of Pasternak, show from their eye-witness perspectives the cruelty and illogic that comes about when ideology (a term owing its very existence to the advent and inveighing of Marxism) prevails over genuine ideas and ideals.
And then I would go one further: the present ideological divide has more to do with spiritual dynamics than anything else I can think of. The author’s use of the term “scientism” holds up one side of the divide, while a dual-ideal of Judaeo-Christian values and the US Constitution hold up the other. The two are in a death-struggle at the present time. The former is of the devil, the latter is of God, simply stated.
Nkechi Amare Diallo/Rachel Anne Doležal was fired at Eastern Washington University and removed by the Spokane City Council as Chair of the Police Ombudsman Commission. She was later charged with felony theft by welfare fraud and second degree perjury last year. She lied about her assets and was financially secure while she was receiving welfare and claiming to be broke.
