gollark: Because I think I can show you tribalism before it.
gollark: Again, what do you define as "capitalism"?

gollark: Humans are just bizarrely tribal, bad at dealing with faraway problems (both far away in time *or* space), pretty competitive if you have scarce stuff, and like playing status games.
