And that would be an example of tribal thinking.  A tendency to use violence against members of other tribes.  A tendency to not see red violence, to not recognize or even understand the ideal of non violence.  An assignment of parody motivations to the other tribe.  Thinking tribally, there will always be someone of another tribe to hate.  You divide into your tribe and others and hate the others.  

As long as you identify with those you call Americans and hate everyone else, you are in the trap.

It was once cost effective.  You spread your own tribes genes at the expense of everybody else.  Somewhere between the inventions of the machine gun and the nuke, it became much less cost effective.  Remnants do persist.

I assume that you're not seeing, paying as much attention or becoming more aware of the blue violence that the rest of the country has been seeing and watching on a regular basis for months these days. The same stupid shit, night after night, month after month. I assume you are able to associate what they're doing with tribal thinking but you seem to be unaware that what you're doing and saying which is similar what they're thinking/believing and using as an excuse or justification of what they're doing and attracting the interest of a large portion of the country that still believes in the age old American concept of might makes right and the idea of using American force to establish order and make things right again for most of the country. You're still a member of the blue tribe right. You're a Weird member but you're still a loyal member of the blue tribe right. Eric can let go of the blue tribe and pledge allegiance to the green tribe because Eric has dual citizenship.
