How partisan tribalism is killing democracy | Brian Klaas | TEDxThessaloniki 

"We're going to try harder" is not going to work against the tribal instinct. We need to show people how democracy is in their self-interest and survival. For now, "owning the opposition" is equated with "winning" and "survival" and this is a fallacy.

He called it 3 years ago. I believe making people aware is just the first step. Action must be taken

I agree that tribalism is an inherent part of the totality of human history, but I also believe that other, more mild, aspects of human nature exist: aspects like kindness, forgiveness, and acceptance. I don't buy that human history points inexorably toward tribalism (as defined by humans raiding and stealing from one another). I choose to think that human history is filled with ennumerable stories that say ALL kinds of things about us. As humans, it is our travail to decide which of those stories we choose to listen to.

Look up Brian Klaas' twitter, then tell me this isn't possibly the worst host for a talk on how partisan tribalism is a bad thing. Honestly.

He's fanning the flames.

When he said, “I’m from the state of Minnesota” I started laughing

I'm non partisan. I don't care about Democrats or Republicans. I just want to seize the means of production with deadly force. This is a non-partisan issue.

Nothing is 100% right and nothing is absolutely true. There is always room for error. There is also no best option and certainly not for everyone. We all have different backgrounds and circumstances and therefore different views and opinions.

Why is this information peppered with political bias? it's so sad to speak against division and promptly vilify half the country... this is the problem, people will talk about open mindedness so long as that means agreeing with them.

I would like to see this done again now, with a more critical eye

This video would have been much better if he had acknowledged that extremism exists on both the left and right.

I like to think that someday fundamentalists will recognize the scientific relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming and that secularists will appreciate the spiritual reasons for not using abortion as birth control. Thus, the effects of reducing carbon emissions and of increasing contraceptive practices would enhance the quality of life on Earth and help ensure our survival as a species.

The lack of self awareness of this video is incredible.

I thought this video was going to be good where it explains how partisanship is killing democracy, I quickly realized the speaker is a partisan person and this speech was not bipartisan. No wonder it has so little views.

He is preaching against what he is doing :/

Take the deal. You don't want to go to jail any longer than you have to. Compromise.

How about plutocracy as the main threat to democracy?

this has aged well given the tribalism in the middle east /and Ukraine 2024 . London riots , tribalism indeed ...humanity has imagined and created AI , and yet broadly speaking we still collectively sit around the stone and stick camp fire fractured into this or that camp of thought (ideology) in our minds thwarted by the nature in us called tribalism. DNA tweaking ? or freewill seizure of change the choice by us individually and collectively ? i know one thing we are allowing the very people to hold power seats on earth we really ought not to be that and the money are 2 areas in need of tribalism elder knowledge of the past , sinse lost due to expansion beyond small community ......what a collective ride we weave ...

Seem to explain the problems well but solutions fall short. Call out the real problem here! The political parties! Parties are private businesses, we need a public service, nonpartisan and local. Where every idea can be judged, pledge votes to build momentum for candidates. Look on Facebook Georgetown County Public Primary

Can't be partisan... Joined God's Party... "Love and unity are the needs of the body politic today. Without these there can be no progress or prosperity attained." "Science cannot cure the illness of the body politic. Science cannot create amity and fellowship in human hearts." ~ Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith

Ferjani is once again arrested ☹️

I'm a zug baby let's embrace the tribalism!

Watch this along with Jordan Peterson videos, you'll learn and understand more about identity politics, Tribalism and how those can lead to Chaos

We shouldn’t be against Tribalism because it’s the wrong thing to do because it’s wrong to steal their land

Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

twitter@varanbby this is important

the guy is an actual tribal political extremist, fully blinded by his own biases. NPC bot

Democracy sux lol

I find it interesting that he’s doing but spots on tv making accusations without ANY background proof for the viewer. If this bozo has proof then follow up the accusations with your proof.
