Human, student, non-Buddhist Buddhist, intellectual masochist. Confident only of my own ignorance. Don't believe anything I say.

"toxic tribalism" throws me, but if it is simply fear, meditation is a help, but takes a few years
It has many more elements than just fear.https://www.wired.com/story/how-mindful-meditation-can-save-us-from-the-tribal-abyss/ …
sure wish you folks would use the word "meditation" .. "mindfulness" is corporate doublespeak, especially since what is hoped for is quiet mind
'mindfulness' is an authentically Buddhist term that goes, way, way back. Right 'sati'--the term translated as mindfulness--is one of the eight factors on the Eightfold Path.
Indeed, the Sattipatthana sutta is the central text of the Buddhist canon, and it's wonderful that it's been well-suited for export to the West. Equally important, in my opinion, is the factor "right view". But that's much harder to unpack and translate in an intuitive way.
Most of the other factors of the Eightfold Path have moral dimensions to them, making them less suitable for cross-cultural adoption. I think it can be done with right view, although I wouldn't claim to be qualified to do so.
