Basically, it's become a tribal plains area, where one-thousand-plus tribes exist in marginal states of harmony or non-harmony.
Some tribes are leftists....some tribes are rightists.
Some tribes are pro-capitalists....some tribes are anti-capitalists.
Some tribes are willing to promote face-to-face confrontations.....some shy away from all confrontations.
Some tribes promote dumping your relatives if they can't participate in the tribal philosophy.
Some tribes pretend to be something....when it's more fake than real.
Some tribes got into screwing up professional sports....some tribes voiced discontent with professional sports, and just gave up viewing.
Some tribes advocated movies as their 'lecture-vehicles'. Some tribes advocated censoring or avoiding the lecture movies.
Some tribes took in kids....pushing their tribalism down into a 12-to-14 year old level. Some tribes educate their kids to avoid brain-washing.
So you try to fit into some tribe, and generally hope that confrontation is not necessary. Maybe you feel sorry for your co-worker, who is obviously in a 'bad-tribe', or maybe you just laugh over his tribal unit.
In some ways, it's a sad thing to view this much tribal tendencies, and no way to bring people back to a one-tribal unit situation.
