How tribes work: “demand rights and accommodation as a minority then grant none once in power.” From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
and the road back out
conquering other tribes is the primary purpose of tribes. anyone who says otherwise is selling something, usually “trust me while i rob you blind.”
exceptions to this are very, very rare.
mostly, its a memetic necessity and a sort of emergent dominant strategy in a game theory sense.
it’s rooted in hard facts:
if you are few and they are many, they can kill you or take what’s yours.
the algorithm is simple:
when weak, seek accommodation.
when strong, grant none.
this is the might makes right law of the jungle and the way to win at war of all against all.
every hyena knows this. more than a few humans have forgotten.
