Or an absence of real issues to deal with. I doubt we'd have all this if there was a war or famine going on.

Yes. Of course. But I think Liberalism and individualism would suffer during such times. Freedom in the broad sense, yes.

Then we get collectivist naturally as our tribal instincts kick in.

Yes. I was pondering if too much freedom could possibly have the same effect. A possible explanation for the political climate, as of late.

Yes. There have been some things written bordering on this, haven't there? We have trouble getting away from tribalism.

I'm sure there have been. I was applying this theory to the left instead of the right. Usually it's connected to the populist right.

But I think you could apply it to the left as well. Or maybe that has been done as well...

I was thinking of what Haidt and Douthat etc have said about liberalism & democracy not doing well in diversity & being rather unnatural.

I must have read that. Wasn't necessarily thinking of this, but yes. Diversity isn't really natural. Tribalism is part of our nature.

That's what I meant by bordering on your thoughts about freedom getting too much for people. Things go so far & ppl want to reign it in.

Ah, yes. I see. Yet they claim to want to escape oppression. They actually seek to enforce it. Possibly without realising.
