[I]“Its interesting to see someone how seems to thinks that Tribalism is the same as identifying with a nation state, its culture and its laws, aren’t we supposed to accept diversity for example? I see Socialists always talking about socialism as being a tribe too, or even a religion and that is a very illiberal concept to me too.[/I]
Well, I like cricket but I prefer a nice risotto to a Scotch egg so do I identify with British culture? I don’t know, there isn’t a single British culture anyway, I like some aspects I dislike others.
As for the laws, I accept them because I live here. For society to function we can’t just have people picking which laws they will follow and it’s in my interest for society to function. If the laws become too bad and I prefer them elsewhere I can just go and live there.
You are right that Socialism can be very tribal, but as a collectivist philosophy that isn’t suprising. When individualists promote similar concepts, it just seems odd to me.
