I don't think it needs to be overcome, just applied differently. A more global "us" vs problems like global warming or poverty would be fantastic.
It's also a self preservation instinct - sometimes there's just too much going on and you gotta narrow your focus to the people around you.
It's a good question. I think it's been shown it's in our DNA to have a tribe that we associate with, and anything outside that tribe is a threat. Used to be a literal tribe, now I think it's mostly based on race. Can this be overcome with education? Unfortunately I'm really not sure.
Not as long as capitalist nationalism is the dominant economic system. It's just tribalism on a global scale.
Not so long as there are “haves” and “have-nots”.
As long as politicians exists no. People need something to have control on group of people. So this exists for long. Hope it gets over when robots take over.
the ussr and british raj collapsing are such shame. making latvian, lithuania, ukrainian, official languages after 70 years is 3L1T3. instead of having a unity, we must pay homage to the dead from hundreds of years ago 🫡
