Not sure, but probably personal loyalty matters if one expects to be in zero-sum conflicts or conflicts between groups of kin. Conflicts where there's no systematic reason why one side *should* win, except that they're close to you through personal affiliations.

My opinion (performative, bien sur!) is that we *are* in such conflicts, quite often, and that therefore we *need* performative identities. Preaching "just drop all your badges and uniforms" is preaching unconditional surrender, which is unhelpful.
