Is Neo-tribalism [rand.org, PDF, 297 KB] humanity's future? An ideology influenced by the Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn and that predicts the collapse of society and the necessity of "walking away", it's growing globally with neo-tribes already established. The Anthropik Tribe's goal is to ultimately form a "functional hunter-gatherer tribe in the future". Anthropik is part of The Appalachian Confederation, a /neo-tribal league/tribe of tribes/rhizome/ with it's own council, annual festival and plans for an army. Also, check out this movie about modern tribalism. Tribes. The First and Forever Form 102 page FREE PDF The Tribe of Anthropik A small, primitivist group with ambitions of forming a functional hunter-gatherer tribe in the future Modern Tribalism A "graphic, unflinching and startlingly touching" (L.A. Weekly) documentary charting the resurgence of humanity's oldest and most intense rituals Scrapping Institutional Education in Favour of Community Apprenticeship Learning I have been drawn towards tribalism during my study about the societal role of visual arts. This societal form was universal and it was in practice along tens if not hundreds of thousands of years. The span of Kingdoms and empires pales when compared with animism. Modernity fares even worse since it appears as no more than a blimp on the time scale of the long history. What starts to intrigue me most is that, if we wish it or not, tribalism seems destined to come back with a vengence. The atomization of late modern societies that we observe since the last 2 decades seems indeed to pull societies towards a tribal reshaping and the internet is certainly acting as a catalyst of such a transformation. But it seems to me that there is much more awaiting us in the future. The global re-balancing of economic might taking place presently seems to go hand in hand with a global fall into imbalance of the complex systems that sustain the principle of life. (over-population, 6th mass extinction, global warming, energetic impasse, poisoning of ground, air and water, and so on.) The combination of those two trends seems destined, in the eyes of more and more scientists and intellectuals, to plunge our complex and fragile societies over-board into collapse. At which point tribalism could well be the only societal escape for the survivors..
