Tribalism, for better or worse, I think is the wave of the future. People need things that bind them together, whether it be blood, shared belief, customs, or the need for survival. There are far, far too many humans on this earth to allow a single tribe to rule.

Its not going to be a "tribe" that rules, its going to be a system. And "fighting" and being "oblivious" to it are both going to feed and be a part of it. The only real answer I've been able to come up with is live as though it doesn't exist, don't feed it don't buy in and live as best you can. People don't seem to understand what "the beast" or "the image of the beast" means anymore, to me it means "the system" (a rudderless ship ploughing towards a coast) and "humans within the system" (replaceable soulless components of the ship) This "wave of the future" will pass away too, its all happened before. Socrates took the hemlock rather than stop asking questions, Jesus went to the cross rather than "buy in" to the religious or political machine. Socrates showed people that their "experts" and "leaders" didn't actually know anything, Jesus showed people that the Temple/Empire system was a "whited sepulcher" beautiful on the outside, but full of dead men’s bones. Both of them revealed the "image" of the beast within the men of their days hearts. The lesson I've taken away from both is I'd rather live by my own convictions for a little while, than exist as a dead man in a dead machine.

While I hold both sides of the coin in my heart at times. I too am hypocritical and tribal at times. And I notice the benefits of a purely Tribalistic Hegemony in history and the present. Much of this sentiment is not just tribalism about race, gender, culture etc. It's Class. The have's and the have nots. They divide us plebs via skin color or country of origin. While in reality the clear division is between Class.

I feel like you would have been a great player in Magic, you enjoy the rules. There are a million ways to play and you have to use your noggin. Now I'm really messing up your tribute to John Lennon's Imagine on this post.  HIJACKING putting bumps in other places

John lennon was a tool I don't like rules I like the website and want to see it grow, and continue on. In it's current state it is going to disappear very quickly. If you have suggestions to improve it please bring them forth. p/userinterface.

Humans will fuck up and abuse any rules you make. We have lines and people can't even follow those rules. Good luck with making rules.

And this is my point. You want to see the website die. I don't. You view everything through the lens of pessimism and the worst possible outcome. You seem to hate humans and everything except the Jewish Religion. In every-thread even if its about a non-religious topic, you insist on bringing Jewish Religion into the topic. While simultaneously hating religion. Everything you say is some type of twisted logic and depressing outcome. Even if the world is fucked up, and people can suck. If you focus and force this angle, you still make everyone's life worse. Living in a constant state of pessimistic attitude and hopelessness . I choose to have Hope. Be cognizant of the past. Present in reality of human nature.
