** 15-Jan-2021 World View: Tribal Thinking
Butler re-posted my last message in his "Polyticks" thread on the
GD forum. He replied with his offensive screed about Tribal Thinking.
Here is the response that I posted there.
I can see your point about Tribal Thinking. There are a lot of really
smart people who post in this forum. Almost all of them are much
smarter than you are.
So to cope with this, you turn to Tribal Thinking. They're all
smarter than you, and they all have different views that you can't
cope with, so you just treat them all like they're all part of a
Tribe. So in your Tribal Thinking, you're the Enlightened God, and
all the other members are a Tribe that you look down on. So you're
the Hutu and they're the tribe of Tutsis. Or you're the Chinese, and
they're the tribe of Uighurs. Or you're the Nazi, and they're the
tribe of Jews -- all more intelligent than you, but by Tribalizing
them, you can cope with them.
So finally I understand what you mean by Tribal Thinking. You mean
that you're the Enlightened God, with the Mandate from Heaven, and the
rest of are are a Tribe of Barbarians. Or, you're the farmer, and the
rest of us are a Tribe of Donkeys.
It's good that you're using this thread. How about explaining more
about Tribal Thinking, and how you're superior to all the other
members of this forum? Just keep it all inside this thread, though,
so you won't get "censored." I'm sure we'll all look forward to
coming over here to this thread and read more about how inferior we
all are.
