It’s good that you recognise tribalism as a core issue although you need to acknowledge that you can be victim of that too. You’re trying to start from the top because that looks like it’s have biggest impact but the actual change needs to start at the bottom. This is something we can do but it’ll be much more work than waiting for someone to do that for us. I realise that all of us are so used to slacktivism by now that it sounds like an insurmountable task but there’s no other way. First step is to stop contributing to the problem so here I am trying to explain why current approach won’t work.

No... i said the top is convincing the bottom that they arent the problem and create divisions within the same classes; so the bottom fights amoung themselves. How is one to convince people they are fighting themselves and they need to focus their enegry at the real problem? Its difficult to have a rational conversation when when many stomp their feet refusing to belive the truth and rather prefer commiting crimes against humanity than addressing the real problems.

That feet stomping and refusing to acknowledge reality is a symptom, not the root issue. People don’t feel like they have a real choice so as a response to this overwhelming world they start to treat it like a football match. You support your team no matter what, right?
