Separatist tribalism
It’s a new term, and I like it.
It describes everything that is wrong with the world today and what prevents us from moving forward.
And identifying it gives us the way forward.
You fight it by prioritizing inclusion and engaging in cooperation. And that depends on “first believing that we can and must every day expand the definition of "us” and shrink the definition of “them” – and we shouldn’t have an earthquake or a hurricane to know that they is what we are about.“
And yes, a two-term American president said this yesterday (a real one, not the joke one who was at the UN), and this is the reason I still believe in this country.
