    Where tribalism is normal? That’s literally everywhere. Do you have a favorite sports team? I don’t. Do you have a religion that you think is right? Not me.

    I’m a member of groups, of course, but I feel no urge that these groups are somehow better or more than others.

    Now, is it genetic or learned? Who knows. I was just replying to the guy who said it was a gene. I guarantee no research shows that’s a thing.

      Yeah didn’t really check who was replying :)

      I do not mean that tribalism is not present in every environment, it was meant like for example selfishness. There’s selfishness everywhere, but some people are more or less selfish, and that mostly depends on the total environment someone grew up in, how much selfishness was discouraged or encouraged, how much it lead to advantages or disadvantages. I assume that it’s the same with tribalism.
