    It’s not a ‘corruption’, it’s just tribalism in the modern day

    For an example of the corruption of the feeling of community, that would be politicians milking their base for donations by stirring up community fear: i.e. MS13 is going to rape your pets, send me money to be tougher on immigration

    But just patriotism is what happens when humans live in groups larger than a hundred or so

    It’s also really dangerous in itself, even without intentional corruption and abuse
