What Is Tribalism?
Your very life depends on your identity, the identity that you project out into the world. Many people lie so much to construct pleasant identity but deep down inside they're not even honest with themselves about what their true identity is. Another mechanism is tribalism, this sort of us versus them mentality, defining in us, defining a them. And having enemies. Notice that individual people have enemies, but collective egos, organizations, corporations, governments, they haven enemies too. Every religion has an enemy religion. Every spiritual teacher, probably ha has an enemy spiritual teacher. Every sports team has an enemy sports team. Every corporation has an enemy corporation that is going to kill them.
