Tribalism Finished Rome

"There is a certain type of libertarian who ignores the group and concentrate only on the individual. This ignores the fact people have throughout history formed themselves into tribes, and always will. If tribes get big enough, they fight. I expect this to come to a head in Europe long before the US. The countries of Europe certainly do appear to be nations of eternal war, as was noticed by the Founders centuries ago. You'd think Europe would have learned their lesson in the 20th century about fighting tribes, but apparently not. The US will have some problems, too, but we usually fix them before they get too bad." Bob Wallace
