If the Lebanese are asking France to bring them “clean and durable governance,” they must be really desperate! 😂

I wish globalists would just win over tribalism. But tribalism seems deep-rooted in neurotypicals, and globalists only circumvent it by building a tribe of antitribalists...

A certain degree of tribalism comes with being human. As you allude to, anti-tribalist attempts to transcend tribalism only create new, less rooted (and more condescending) tribes.

I really want to do this joke, so I'll do it: I don't need a tribe to be unrooted and condescending :D

Neurotypicals as in people without mental diseases?

Without a specific kind of mental disease, to be precise. Usually, either autistic spectrum, ADHD, or both are meant; in this case, I meant the former.

Will read the entire piece later, but like to add my two cents:

1. People aren’t becoming more tribal - they are re-tribalising.

2. The rise of nationalism and populism isn’t a sign of strength - it’s an indication of their weakness. This has to be understood through the lens of history and not immediate observations.

I’ll leave it here as I’ll be publishing a piece about this myself, in which I will explain more fully.
