It seems that identifying with some team or tribe is part of human nature. As if life wasn't already hard enough, many people turn to the internet to simulate killing each other in video game. We've already discussed sports in an earlier post.
Why do people want so much conflict? I remember when I was signed up for sports as a young boy that my favorite part of match ups wasn't winning (which entails the other team losing). I liked the snack bar. Similarly, I never felt drawn to playing video games that involve defeating other human beings. I preferred RPGs.
Maybe that helps explain why I enjoy LARPing now. But I digress.
What we need to do as a society is to put non-competitive CENTRISTS in charge. Tribal idiots like to make two sides out of everything. Centrists seek peace, compromise, and outcomes where everyone wins.
Stay woke,
Virtuous Centrists
