That's Marcus Aurelius in the ”Meditations" talking about supporting teams at the chariot races and gladiator fights. It seems very human to get all tribal about something subjective and inconsequential. Ancient Rome had the same fanboyism, just in a different arena.

Thank you for this insightful comment!

(Love the aside at the end ... seriously, though, Aurelius had an incisive eye, his writings have great value and much to teach just about anyone ...)

Marcus Aurelius thoughts have survived 2000 years. He did not even wanted them to be published. What a legend!

Sibling comments are correct, it's a pinephone (non-pro, with keyboard)

During a conflict, that mindset requires a large quote of power to be exercised. If you don't belong to a tribe, you will be declared an enemy. Picking no tribe doesn't make you "neutral" It makes you everybody's enemy.

> People going out of their way to declare (or at least make clear with varying degrees of intensity) just exactly which feudal overlord they're ready to "bleed for"

What about people who hate their overlord?

I wish you would! That sounds interesting!
