Imagine being from a great culture like yoruba which achieved a lot, and some clowns want me to drop that for an underachieving Nigerian identity. Tribalism is a way of life I admire, and I shall continue to be a tribalism stud.

Tribalism hall of fame.

Mods, leave this thread here. It's a cultural thread.

Thanks in advance.

IMO - tribalism is good. It’s only bad when you are not part of the beneficiaries.

Tribalism is a method of social organization that has worked for humans for 200,000 years. It is a social structure and does not imply anything about the levels of technology or material wealth or luxuries within that society. It is not about being "primitive" or about living in voluntary simplicity; it is merely a way of organizing ourselves. Our culture is blind to the benefits of this structure because we are conditioned to see the world as hierarchical city/state = good and decentralized non-hierarchical communities = bad.

People employing the hierarchical social model have been experimenting with human social structure. This experiment is 10,000 years old and has now shown itself to be a complete failure. The indigenous model is also an experiment. But it is a 200,000 year old experiment that has proven itself to work. As we look to the future and wonder how the human race will continue amidst the destruction our culture has caused, we should look to our ancestors and see what lessons we can learn from how they lived.

We are taught to detest indigenous people but in fact their lifestyle was highly successful. It wasn't perfect and I'm not idealizing it, but it was a viable way for humans to live. As our way of life has brought the world to the brink in a short space of time, it would do us good to look to our ancestors and understand how they managed to live in accord with the world.

Since tribalism = strong in-group loyalty. I will always be a proud practitioner of tribalism.

Ganjar. I'm a ganjar farmer, call me the ganjar man.

Anyway,

Love isn't something you choose, it's a subconscious emotion that grows with time. Most people don't know when they fall in love till they start feeling it. Since we can't control our emotions, then we can't control love. Once you start controlling it, then it becomes something else.

Love is a noun, loving is a verb. You can love without necessarily showing it.

Ever heard of unspoken love? That's is the ish.

Why did this s.lag block the posts?

Relationships have been failing at an alarming rate of late since the invention of the internet. More people have access to information in real time, and most apply the 'formulas'/'expectations' they get online from the so-called 'relationship experts' to their relationships.

Our parents never really had that much access to 'relationship experts', yet most of them were able to sustain their relationships for a longtime, because it was natural.

But why are relationships failing in our generation?

I think it's high time we dropped this idea that a 'relationship experts' who can't help his/her own relationship, can help us save ours.

Excessive reading breeds unrealistic expectations and we need to understand that people are different, and we do things differently.

Only stupid women adore funny guys/clowns.

I want the OP to share some of the ish he smoked before writing this long and boring essay.

Let nature be the judge and do less reading when you're dealing with emotions.

What's up with all the badly written posts on this thread?

If English isn't your first language, stick to writing in Arabic, or Mandarin.
