I just looked up Webster and OED. I suggest that you look up the definition of tribe there.

I have been requesntly surprized how gradually more and more the usage of English seems to be becoming imprecize. I think that Ayn Rand is rollong in her grave.

I think it's because a company that made bubblers had a brand/model name "bubbler", and now it's become a generic name.

I haven't even seen this ad, but it's an extraordinary claim to say it's part of some intentional program of dividing people. In this program, the planners would get companies to make ads glamorizing "diversity". This would appear to be for bringing people together, but it would paradoxically splinter them by slowing cultural assimilation.

If this is true, do you imagine it being an out-and-out conspiracy with a few architects working up a secret plan. Or is it more like millions of people just want to see people splintered and know diversity is one way to do it?

I'm trying to imagine an engineering magazine I write for came to me and asked me to write articles that on the surface appear inclusive but are actually intended to divide people. They're too worried about how many people read it and if it covers their advertiser's products. I simply cannot imagine this complicated political agenda working its way in.

I disagree. Not every individual is a member of a tribe. Unless you have a peculiar definition of the terms "tribe" or "tribalism".

I believe that drive for homogenizing different cultures is the twin sibling to the drive for "equqlity" and "social justice". Fundamentally, another attemot for a power grab, with a tyranny in sight .. for teh good of all, of course.

Have you ever been a member of a tribe?

not persuaded

you must be pretty frustrated with me...we are having a discussion-free speech in a free (somewhat society). don't fight paper tigers maph

I suspect that Gandhi was also influenced by the imported British cultural attitudes.

It does not seem to me very smart or constructive to speak in terms such as "expunge ALL nationalistic attitudes" or "COLLECTIVE pride in their nation". Very few thigs in relaity are that black and white and pride is a feeling of an individual, perahaps to some degree similar to another individuall's similar feeling.

That was a leap.

What does this mean?

capitalism(which you support) is not compatible with tribalism

Patro Noa, Patro Noa
bona estis li
en arceo cantis
sed sur tero plantis
multan vinon, multan vinon
tion faris li.

Now that didn't hurt, geologist, did it ?
