Since the dawn of man, tribalism. We still haven't found a cure for it, probably never will.
Cure? It's a part of humanity. Do we want to cure humanity?
I think that attempting to suppress or deny our natural instincts causes more problems than it solves.
I think we should try and embrace it in a healthy way. Actual team sports is one example.
It's not a desirable trait in politics, but learning to cope with it is likely to be more realistic than eliminating it.
When people think all sex is wrong, pedophilia, sadism, and rapes rise.
When people think all violence is wrong, gang violence, mass-shootings, and other behavioral disorders rise.
All things in moderation. More playground fights will result in less playground shootings.
More priest sex will result in less priest rape.
Suppression of our nature only twists it. Humanity needs treatment, not a cure.
At some point I think I crossed a line from having a point to rambling, so I'm gonna stop now.
This is some pretty basic level stuff.
It's also an oversimplification in many ways, even if essentially correct about politics being treated like a 'team sport' by many.
It's not a helpful or meaningful assertion though. The narrator even engages in Team-speak at points while discouraging it.
You also seem very much like a team player, but clearly unaware or in denial.
Recognizing a problem in 'others' is not difficult or useful. Recognizing these flaws in ourselves is how we make progress.
I think Phukkers have a high rate of 'complicated' views. The lack of team sports around here is one of it's draws. If you're just catching up, that's great, but we're the crowd that was already there.
In other words, spend more time enlightening yourself before you try to teach the world. I think most around here passed this point before you discovered it.
