Tribalism is based on empathy towards other tribe members. Capitalism, ironically, goes against this: tribal bonds take a back seat to economic interest.
Humans are, in fact naturally empathetic. It's why we pack-bond with anything with a name.
They're naturally empathetic to their tribe, but not to others. Tribalism isn't a good thing.
Tribalism is the root of the entire GOP platform of hate. Racism, anti-LGBT, etc. are all because humans are tribalistic.
Tribalism is bad, but the tribe existing at all is empathy in action. Once the tribe is there, it's just a matter of expanding it.
It's not a matter of expanding it. Humans developed to have tribes of 2-300 people, and as a species we haven't done well past that. Look how society started turning to shit once we could communicate globally with millions of people.
We didn't learn to love and accept everyone, we just formed echo chambers (tribes) and turned the dial up on the hate.
What you're looking for is something like globalism, which goes against human nature.
