7 days agoEndgame capitalism is squeezing harder since the 2008 crash and then Covid. They predicted polarising of politics and ideologies. We’re seeing tribalism as a reaction to fewer resources and harsher conditions, all of which are down to greed and oligarchy. They’ve succeeded in getting us to fight amongst ourselves instead of them.
No, this is very traditional tribalism where people of different skin colours and religions are vilified and blamed for anything and everything as convenient to the narrative. The same tribalism that’s been using ethnic cleansing as a solution since we were primates. The same tribalism that invents enemies to silence disagreement and disenfranchise dissenters. The dissenters would be the individualists in this case, and would likely be thrown over the walls.
