> It is important not to confuse nationalism with mere worship of success. The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to […]

Some of them are even good at arguing, know what confirmation bias is; saying how toxic haters are; but are haters themselves when talking about the competing brand. Case in point, Xbots vs Ponies vs Nintendrones vs MasterRace. #consolewars #fanboys #fanboyism #tribalism

Our Glorious Leader, Our Great Religion, Our Noble Populace, Our Heroic Adventurers, their Brutish Invaders, Their backward savages, their primitive superstition, their wicked despot

This is, and always has been, one of my favourite memes.

It captures #tribalism perfectly.
I've learned to see triablism in almost all of human activity - it's in everything we do. Once I recognise it surfacing within myself, I can see it for what it really is.

I discovered this the hard way after daring — daring — to suggest ...

Should bands know when to call it a day?

Humor, Self-Deception & the Mind Games of Politics (ep 324) This a rebroadcast from March 31, 2021 Why do people believe things that clearly contradict reality? Why does humor often reveal truths that political debate hides? In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we explore the fascinating connection between humor, self-deception, and political belief systems. From cognitive dissonance to tribal thinking, politics is often less about logic and more about the psychological tricks our brains play on us. We discuss how comedy can expose contradictions in ideology, how voters rationalize bad policies, and why self-deception may be one of the most powerful forces shaping political narratives. Topics include: - The psychology behind political self-deception - Why humor is a powerful tool for revealing truth - Cognitive biases that influence voters - Tribalism and identity in modern politics - Why people defend ideas even when evidence says otherwise If you enjoy conversations that mix psychology, political philosophy, humor, and libertarian perspectives, this episode will give you plenty to think (and laugh) about. 🎧 Listen, question assumptions, and explore how the mind shapes politics.

I can only assume it was a result of memories of persecution felt in Europe. I'm left with many questions as to why we still have not learned anything from history😔

Pew’s topline is sharp, but its own warning is the fact readers should not skip. “Because we have never asked this question before, we don’t know whether a majority of Americans have long held a skeptical view of the ethics of fellow Americans, or if it’s something new — and if so, what’s driving it.” Jonathan Evans and co-authors, Pew Research Center, quoted by Newsweek

🇺🇸😬🔥 #AmericanMorality #MutualContempt #Tribalism Americans are unusually harsh on one another: Pew finds 53% say fellow citizens’ morals are bad, the highest negative reading in its 25-country survey. The catch: this is a first-time measure, so it proves a striking snapshot, not a trend.

Why People Won't Change Their Political Beliefs and the Psychology Behind It Your political beliefs aren't really about policy. They're about identity. Here's the psychology behind why people refuse to change their minds, and what actually works to bridge the divide.

Yale students supported a policy based solely on which party backed it. Then they made up logical reasons for their choice.

Where is the solution-oriented scripted TV about #ClimateChange and #tribalism? What if we told stories that presented solutions that people might just be brave enough to try in the real world? Wouldn’t that be amazing? 🤩

As history has repeatedly demonstrated across the Middle East and North Africa, when a centralized ideological regime collapses, the vacuum is never filled by a committee of bureaucrats. It is filled by the only indigenous structure capable of surviving total state failure: the clan. To understand why the clan-based civil alternative is the only viable path forward, one must first recognize that the technocratic model is a hollow shell. A government of experts lacks the monopoly on force required to govern a post-conflict zone and, more importantly, it lacks the organic legitimacy required to command the loyalty of the population. In the specific context of Gaza, any centralized administrative body is a target for infiltration. Hamas has spent nearly two decades weaving itself into the civil service, the education system and the medical infrastructure. A new central committee, regardless of how well-vetted its members are by Western intelligence, would eventually find itself intimidated, co-opted or bypassed by the remnants of the Islamist security apparatus. The alternative is a return to the Mukhtar-led system, a decentralized model of governance that predates the modern era and the rise of radical Islamism. The hamula, or clan, represents a pre-political identity that focuses on the protection, honor and economic survival of the extended family unit. Unlike the Palestinian Authority or Hamas, which demand sacrifice for a revolutionary or religious cause, the clan prioritizes the tangible well-being of its members. This shift from ideological mobilization to kinship-based pragmatism is the first step toward a deradicalized Gaza.

The tribal solution: Why Gaza’s future lies in pre-Islamic social structures.
