Its absolutely not a good impulse in the broader sense for humanity. Yet this might be one of the only forms of tribalism I’m willing to entertain, in the short term.

I like tribes more than I like corporations and states, but not quite as much as I like clans.

  Clans always gave me the vibe like they needed to be blood related to one another. Is that how you interpret the word?

    In traditional Australia, everyone was blood related to each other. I mean, everyone’s still blood related, but now there’s a lot more people who can’t tell you who their great^10 grandparents were.
    
    So here in Australia, the difference between a clan and a tribe isn’t blood. It’s democracy. Tribes have Chiefs. Clans have Elders. The Elders are in charge, but everyone has a voice.

    Understood, it’s a flatter hierarchy. I can dig that. Also, anti-clanker clan sounds dope in my head.
