Tribalism? A little late
Some commentators are just catching up to the resurgence of tribalism.
I think they're a couple years behind the curve, which is certainly better than most commentators who are 40 years behind the curve.
Tribalism is still strong in the Sorosian lands, but it's being phased out and replaced by
pure personal loyalty to Lord of Lords Soros and his Prophetess Empress Hillary.
Example: Greenwald visited Russia last week on a 'goodwill tour' similar to the old
cultural exchanges of the '60s. Greenwald was universally bashed by the #resistance department of Deepstate.
A few years ago, when tribalism was ascendant, Greenwald's PURE tribal membership would have insulated him from all criticism. He's (1) Jewish by ethnicity (2) openly and cheerfully homosexual by preference (3) firmly Leftist in ideology (4) journalist by trade. Aristocratic in all the ways that count.
Now his 4-way perfect tribal credentials don't save him. By visiting Russia and saying
non-negative things about Russia, he has offended the Cult of Prophetess Empress Hillary. He is Unperson.
Later thought:
Openly and cheerfully may be part of the problem. Greenwald is non-invasive and non-imperialist about ALL of his caste qualities. These are just parts of his life. You're not supposed to treat your identities so casually and loosely; you're supposed to use every one of your caste cards as a FEROCIOUS WEAPON against heretics.
