Okay, so have you guys noticed this or am I fucking stupid?

Okay, I'd like to say by tribalism, I mean the whole thing of extereme group dynamics. If that makes sense. Like, I am part of group blue so I will die for group blue, sort of idea. Because I keep seeing like people, mostly on the internet because I am a serious shut-in, that follows the idea of "you're either for us or against us". Which is kinda hate. There's no logical way you could say that one group does nothing wrong.

Case in point, things like hospitals or churches or hell anything were there's normal people usually has bad actors inside of the system. It's kinda just human nature, there's always someone who just wants something more than they want to be a upstanding person. Docters pushing risky surgeries, like LASIK Eye Surgery, or the usual joke of Catholic priests and choir boys, or literally any other group you could think off.

SO people saying that some people, or groups, are inherently always right, we kind of run into a problem. Like, come on, there is no freaking way for you the honest to the gods say that. Because that is mildly dehumanising, either to the people who are pinned as inhuman and unable to be proper or to the people who are being pinned as these super noble and honest angels who can't have struggled because of themselves.

'Sides I feel like a good chunk of all these political problems would be solved if people just listen to every side and figure out what's going on, because echo chambers are literally the worst thing for critical thinking ever. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to figure out the truth if you hear only one side. In my mind any dicussion is a court of law, you bring either pro or negative evidence and we see where the truth lies. If you say that the sky is always blue, I should be able to aruge that no, the night sky is black and purple and so on.

I just feel like people are just way too fixated on the whole group think. You can't just agree with people because they are part of the same group as yourself. It's not that simple. And this is a two sided problem, everyone needs to realise that humans are humans.

Go back?
