Hah, the bit that really makes me angry is exactly that people running around parroting whatever the leaders of "their" "tribe" say (and who will do things like use "fascism" to describe things that are slightly autoritarian) do care enough to try to make things better.
They often have the best of intentions whilst damaging their cause and even being led by the nose like useful idiots (that's the thing with tribalism: once people run around identifying with "the tribe" and following the "leaders" of "the tribe" they're extremelly easy to manipulate).
It's very frustrating to see just how many people run around thinking themselves lefties whilst, by following herd/pack instincts and parroting others rather than using their brains to think, acting in ways that don't really advance the cause of "the greatest good for the greatest number".
