    I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out. To me it’s genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: “oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet.” And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?

      Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.

      Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It’s a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.

      …“tribalism” is a hard-to-escape fact of human neurology simply because many human brains are not adapted to working with large populations

        Outside of the primitive communism of our hunter/gatherer days we’ve never had a society that is free from a ruling class that sows discord and division to protect themselves. I wouldn’t be so sure that tribalism is innately human and not something that we have been conditioned to by millennia of rule by psychopaths.
