I don ' t think I ' m up for gatherings with lots of alcohol even now . Good job dumping it out ! <| sep |> Interesting theory . The only thing is Joffery wasnt very fond of his mother . Is the book depiction of him any different from the tv series ? <| sep |> I think I see what you ' re trying to say , but I think you ' re misunderstanding what I ' m saying , and I think we ' d agree with each other . I do agree that we are becoming more tribalist , as you say , and when people create new labels to identify us , we are creating a way to discriminate between us vs . them , and that is how we begin dividing ourselves . Once we ' ve got the other side labeled , we can quickly run around applying these labels on others , and then judge them by that label and whatever they say comes through the filter of the label applied to them . It becomes super easy to say , nothing you say is true or matters because you are an X . Then a people can be lumped into a group , and then that group can be marginalized or demonized , and then things start to suck . So , what we need to do is stop looking for things that make us different from each other , and start looking for things which unite us in our shared humanity . This applies to everyone , from the left , the right , the altright , the racist groups , etc .
