It’s when we place ourselves in massive groups and communities of thousands or millions or billions of people that we start to act terribly to other humans.

“tribalism” being the word we use to label when a civilization engages in pointless violence when it’s tribes that avoid this bullshit naturally by excluding the waste of time members of society who try to break society is so frustrating to me

Probably depends on the definition of “tribe”, but yeah, I agree in principle.
