Such uses of the words "tribal" and "tribalism" have been bothering me for a couple years now, as I've come to understand the profound insult and ugly history lurking under their surface. I'm glad to have found this great essay on the topic that I can share with people now.

Yes! It’s always bothered me too. It’s amazing how American western setter identity will use “tribalism” again and again. The world is still a frontier to American power. No land or people are off limits to ‘remove’ or subjugate.
