Tribalism

Kadizzle has been writing letters to the editor for years. Last night Kadizzle thought about writing on the subject of tribalism. When you think about the tribes we live with the number is astounding. Look around and you see the Harley Davidson Tribe, the tattoo tribe, the NRA tribe, the Trump tribe and so it goes. 

Tribes are convenient, you buy into the tribal beliefs and it is done. Of course our old favorite religion is a giant tribe. People don't often realize the implications of the tribe they join. The NRA is a classic. Many join and have no clue they are sponsoring the death of innocent school children. The Trump tribe is much the same, people have no clue about the crimes of the leader. Some tribes love the idea of being nasty, you have the white nationalist, and the motorcycle gangs. Remember the good old Klan.  Here in Payson you have the Tea Party gang, and a couple of sub tribes to that bunch of Hoopleheads. 

Independent thinking is a thing of the past. The poorly educated have always found tribes comforting. Knowing there are more idiots just like you is comforting. Join a tribe. You might want to start by watching Fox News.
