    Tribalism will tear us apart-… No, wait… You know what I mean.

    It’s the sense of belonging that’s ironic. The kind of stuff Charlie Manson would work with. In the end the pursuit of inclusion isolates us to camp versus camp; prehistoric human nature didn’t just go away now we have civilisation. Its 'more normal that people exercise it by pigeonholing themselves into groups like gender stereotypes or Hogwarts houses, maybe a sports team. Whatever gives them a sense of being something with kin, but not actually going too far.

    This? This is going too far, but they won’t bail until they feel accepted into another camp. That’s what it’s actually all about.
