This, but absolutely unironically, since the ironic version is naked advocacy for an ethno-state.

I dunno, it feels good. If I could order more from Amazon I would, but I can't

(if "everyone is the other", then no one is)

no. that's wrong. you don't get that unless you also dissolve your own ego/self. short of staring at a cave wall for 9 years I'm not seeing this as a workable policy. what really happens is only your own person is "us" and everyone else is "them" and you just hurt endlessly.

I'm not in any particular state of distress, adjusted for being in a dusty hellscape with suspect air and poisonous tap water. Sense of group belonging, at least "traditional"/"ethnoracial", is massively overrated.
-
you do actually have an in-group. in your case (as in my case, though maybe to different degrees) it's not your ethno-racial compatriots. it's an international, inter-ethnic, internet connected in-group. if you didn't have that you'd feel the pain. total isolation is unbearable.
-
At that point in-group is sufficiently flexible that you'd need to expend considerable active effort not to have one.
-
right. what happens instead is that really isolated and alienated people (e.g. incels) expend minimum effort and get an in-group that is really shitty and bad for them. they'll take a shitty, harmful in-group over no in-group because the pain of total isolation is that severe.
-
and it's a horrible trap that leads to tragic outcomes and years of suffering for most of them.

Then we can chalk that up to my misunderstanding of what you mean by the term, yeah.
-
This may also be a misunderstanding, but I tend to think it more as 'real basic Being A Human' stuff instead of 'Only an Enlightened Master could achieve this' stuff, because it doesn't seem that hard to me -- but my perceptions are not universalizable on this, I admit.
