Reminded me that sometimes, "tribal mentalities" can get very cultish & disturbing.

And that there are even times when they become needlessly destructive.

 

"It starts with stoking tribal mentalities and demonization of alleged 'enemies.' It starts with refusing to compromise, where the world becomes binary, just black and white with no consideration for what’s in between. It starts with limiting access to ideas and information."
