There is lots of misplaced tribalism in the world.

Sometimes a real tribe of 100 people needs to work together on a big animal hunt, or to fight off another tribe, trying to steal farms and livestock, or to go steal somebody's farms and livestock.

Power elites have learned and passed down the secrets of manipulating human tribalism for longer than recorded words can tell. They are adept at turning "tribes" of humans against each other, so that the rulers can keep ruling, and can reduce the population when supplies are short and harvests bad.

Calling "OTHER" in various forms helps "define" "tribe" and "enemy".

Don't fall for it. Be carefully analytical.
