Have you guys heard the word "tribalism" used in reference to societal (esp. political) polarization before?
@freemo Interesting. My mom said something similar. But I'm pretty sure I've been using the term from months.
My vocabulary must have been influenced by #Fediverse lefties! LOL.

@realcaseyrollins You're such a snowflake! :)
Huh, I mostly hear it from conservatives/right-libertarians (Eric S. Raymond uses the description frequently). I'm surprised it's not a term you more frequently encounter, since that's also where you were on the compasses you did a while back.
According to the compasses I've done they almost all agree I am left leaning, but towards the middle, so not conservative.

🔴 People running around in the deep Amazon jungle wearing only loinclothes.
🔴 Young journalists straight off Uni campus, parroting their lecturers lefty buzzword labels.
LOL! I love this response.
Your second option is interesting. Perhaps this is just young people vernacular?
@realcaseyrollins yes, but usually exclusively from liberals.. it tends to be the same people who use terms like colonialism and imperialism to attack "the man" or whites.
