There’s a funny pattern I see sometimes in relations between communities, which I like to call You’re Not My Dad. It starts when a child group splits off from a parent group.

The child is convinced that there’s a rivalry between the groups, and that they’re winning handily. Meanwhile, when the parent group thinks about the child group (which is rarely), they think of them with fondness and affection, tinged with a bit of frustration at their antics.

The examples I could give would be rude, so I’m not gonna do that in public, but I bet you can find cases on your own. Please remember that identifying child groups you belong to is more useful than identifying parent groups you belong to.
