Tribalism is division. Nationalism is unity

would tribalism not have unity within the tribe?

Tribes are smaller than nations. Fuck tribes and tribalism.

tribalism leads to nationalism

tribes who are strong enter alliances with other tribes or take over other tribes and create a nation

However, tribalism is more violent and dangerous, because tribes are smaller than nations.

Once a nation is created, then it can become more stable and civilized. That's my theory at least. Kinda spitballing at this point

Something like that. What’s our national motto? E pluribus unem.

Nationalism is both tribalistic and a bond of unity.
