2. We all need a tribe

Yes, I agree, we all need a tribe, and real tribes don't necessarily conflict with their neighboring tribes. More often, they trade, mingle, and mate. Alas, "tribalism" has become the go to word for intense in-group loyalty and out-group hatred. Can anyone come up with a synonym?

Thanks,

Jon Paul Sydnor
