The viciousness of tribalism
Substack ^ | December 27, 2021 | El Gato Malo

Posted on 12/27/2021 3:21:54 PM PST by CheshireTheCat

This is how you enroll willing, even gleeful ranks of vicious brownshirts not only ready but desperate to oppress others. that’s why half of them joined up in the first place. if it were not this cause, it would be some other. the form the pretext takes is immaterial. it is the chance to do wrong and call it righteous that attracts.

it’s easy to provide.

you simply invert this base human desire to dominate and attack (often in plentiful supply in the upper reaches of the beta groups) into “civic virtue” by othering and segregating out-groups.

you make it no only OK but actually laudable to engage in the nasty, brutal actions that would otherwise be taboo.

you do no need to run around conscripting assistance to totalitarians regimes. the mawkish middle will fall all over itself in its rush to sign up as long as they get to wear a hall monitor sash and push people around....

These riots have been like watching old National Geographic Movies. Inbred tribal instincts.

If you’re a wolf, you long for a pack.

If you’re a human, you long for a tribe.

Just saying…

Prophesied for the last days:

Matthew 24:7
King James Version

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024%3A7&version=KJV

The first 6 words. People trying to make it happen, too. 😞😞

Goes both ways. “Purebloods” wishing death on “mudbloods” for example, and acting like hall monitors here on FR.

The Covid Cult is a particularly vicious tribe that has gained control in much of world - denying liberties and even employment to those that disagree.

I’m going to be a stinker ....
being of Native American stock, I dismiss the theory, the premise, the argument stated, and the conclusion of the author. (by the way, when you insert a collection of information at half the font size of the article, it becomes electronic toilet paper.)

The psychobabble of the author, in the defense of the psychological term, ‘tribalism’, is an insult to Native American citizens of this great land.

I shall not stomp and wave and scream outside the author’s office. That is what liberals and democrats do.

I DO expect a written apology concerning this article, from the author, forthwith!

It’s scary really.

It’s going to happen, obviously.

Please provide links to said posts.

I’ll wait .

And where’s you get the term “mudbloods”? I never saw that in use here either.

Well here in the US the Anglos invented a tribe called “Hispanic” around 1970, putting Euro-descended Argentines in the same category as Afro-Dominicans. I really cringe when I hear some mouth breather use the term “Hispanics or Caucasians” which is redundant. We should use European American rather than “Caucasian” which technically includes western and south Asians. BTW: if this country was a “melting pot” as the neocons used to say, there would be no black Americans as they would have “melted into the pot” a long time ago.

And right on cue, here come the hall monitors. One even had to go snitching to her little bully Q follower friend. Ah the irony! Thank you for proving my point.

I don’t pay attention to them. Considering that we’re all veritable Petri dishes on a good day, “pureblood” seems to be a misnomer.

Your point was not proved.

Provide the posts to the use of the term “mudbloods” and the comments where the unvaxxed are hoping the vaxxed die.

Excuse me?

What hall monitors?

What does Q have to do with anything?

You sound like you have a severe Q hang up, just like the other $hot $hills.

So, go on n00b, retread (what was your previous FR name?)....do post your links to any of your previous accusations...otherwise...you’re nothing but a burnt out, retread liar.

Waiting.

Not proven, not surprised.

And, as usual, resorts to nonsensical distractions.

Ping me, if you happen to get a link to these imagined posts.

TIA.

Well, troll, why don’t you follow your own advice that you posted on your homepage?

Instead you are on here stirring up dissension by trying to pit the vaxxed against the unvaxxed with your slander, lies, and false accusations.

Still waiting for the links to the posts that prove you correct.

The author never heard of capital letters.
