I suspect the real issues go far deeper than the tribal affiliations and resulting social tensions.

There are centripetal and centrifugal dynamics in all of reality, including society.

Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in. The anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement.

Western civilization is built on the concept of monotheism, yet democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures.

Ancient Israel was a monarchy and Rome adopted a monotheistic sect as state religion, as the Empire was rising from the ashes of the Republic. The Big Guy Rules. In religion, as in politics.

When the West went back to democracy and republicanism, it required separation of church and state, culture and civics.

The logical fallacy of monotheism is that ideals are not absolutes. Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The core principles, codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the gravitational center of every society are ideals, not absolutes. Without which, they would break apart. Tower of Babel.

Morality is not an absolute, because it could not be transgressed, if it were. Like a temperature below absolute zero. They are the ideals necessary for a functional, healthy society. Essentially collective responsibility, with rights as reward. When rights are ordained and responsibility is optional, it is breaking down.

The universal is the elemental, not the ideal. A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through the film, than the stories playing out on it.

One is the node, oneness is the network.

Either we reset the program and start over, through war and destroying all that has been built under this current paradigm, or we find ways to go back and debug the software.

Tribalism is useful. "It takes a village to raise a child."

It's just that while our technology has evolved since the Bronze Age, much of our social beliefs haven't.
