Whilst not at all exclusive to people of the Far Right (it’s a natural tendency in all of us which, IMHO, we need to be alert for and stop it when it pops up in ourselves), tribalism it is the core (maybe even the entire foundation) of Far Right authoritarian “ideologies” (the non-authoritarian ones, like Neoliberalism, also exploit other human cognitive weaknesses).
