This is a fundamental trait for living beings.

we took war away from most everyone so that's all they have
also sudacas have a massive inferiority complex to europeans and firsties like us

Every city is a shithole except maybe some smaller Japanese ones

This website exists cause moot wanted to talk about Japanese cartoons

i like to watch people playing games and trying hard, using their skill and muscle and shared endeavour, actually

>>149776718
That's fine and all
I just find the tribalism ridiculous

what you call tribalism, i call competition. it is good, and healthy. and if you refuse to understand this - that all things are inherently pointless, but we do them regardless because this is how we find meaning in ourselves and each other - then i don't want to talk to you, because we won't be able to understand each other.

>I just find the tribalism ridiculous
As Texas said above, that is inherent human behaviour. You remind me of this meme.

>>149777344
But you're not apart of the tribe
You're some onlooker shouting about someone who doesn't care about you at all

The "tribes" are the supporters. I struggle to understand how you're unable to even conceive the concept of tribes. I'm actually amazed you're even able to operate a computer, you sound profoundly retarded. As in "watches the same tape of Thomas the Tank Engine every day for 20 years" retarded.

Oh, and as for >>149776664, what you're describing exists in those too.

>Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a series of epic science fiction novels written by Yoshiki Tanaka. In humanity's distant future, two interstellar states – the monarchic Galactic Empire and the democratic Free Planets Alliance – are embroiled in a never-ending war.

Why get so worked up over people you don't know kicking a ball
Fuckers on EPL teams aren't even from England
And I'd have loved if I was that retarded
Wouldn't have to work, just have to listen to Ringo read me stories everyday

>>149777535
>Why get so worked up over people you don't know kicking a ball
The players, coaches, even owners are all "weapons" of the "tribe". You use them to "attack" other "tribes". Can't believe I'm having to reduce this to the most base level.

>And I'd have loved if I was that retarded
So you're just immensely stupid then. Why did you even bother making this thread? >>149777001 is right, you sound completely clueless.

>>149776851
On the contrary, tribalism is only logical if you think about evolution. All organisms are subjected to natural selection, and societies are not different from other organisms, where we are the cells. In order to get the perfect society, all ideas must fight between them in a certain level, and when I say all I mean it. That's why you see people fighting over the most stupid shit, because we are made to fight for everything, killing the weak ideologies in the process.

So sports faggots will fight between them to protect their team (which is associated with their ego) and sports faggots will join to fight against anti-sports faggots, and that's completely logical.

>>149777664
I have no control over those weapons

>>149777681
They're not real weapons. Fuck me.

Just go back to >>>/b/ because any other board on this website is too advanced for you to understand.

>>149777756
Either way I have no control over the team so why bother caring so damn much

>>149777797
Genuine question: have you moved a lot in your life to the extent you have zero connection with anywhere you've resided?

>>149777839
Yes
But even if I did reside where my favourite teams are almost all the players on said teams aren't from where the team is so why care about transplants

>>149777931
So that explains it. You can't conceive the concept of "tribes" because you've never actually experienced it. Hence why you can't connect to sports at all. Just stick to your anime and vidya.

>>149778007
I played sports growing up

>>149776201 (OP)
FUCK OFF!!!!! JUST FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!! FUCK YOU!!!

>>149778075
You really are one dumb motherfucker.

>>149776201 (OP)
First of all, sports itself aren't dumb for sure. Sports are human creativity combined with our natural drive to compete and move. It is a wonderful thing that we came up with all these different "games" and concepts and traditions, and denying them would mean denying an innate aspect of being human
You want to talk about the fan culture, I assume. You know what, I kind of get it. Modern pro sports are for the most part rootless, there are next to no ties to the actual fan community. It is fair to criticize that. But as other anons have pointed out, it's the desire to compete that goes this far. Sports clubs used to be more local and approachable, so were the players. That's what is remembered and passed down to a degree. The games themselves have brought forth clubs and traditions, and people stick with them. We're not really waging war all the time, this is the harmless version of the need to compete - combined with the necessary feeling of belonging everyone has.
When "my" club plays, I know that the players are mostly from elsewhere and not very loyal for the most part (that used to be a bit different a few decades ago), but they still represent my club and my city and other people I like, past and present. And that's why I like seeing them do well, it remains an emotional thing. Nothing wrong with that

>>149776201 (OP)
Sports are based fuck you

>>149776201 (OP)
Yes. And?

>>149777756
let him be mate, burgers can't grasp what being attached to a city/region is because they're all immigrants and sons of immigrants who betrayed their origins

Soccer and the epl is the worst since most of the fans are brown and Muslim

>>149776201 (OP)
it's a surrogate activity for domesticated humans to participate in to satisfy their tribal desires

>>149776201 (OP)
that's LOSER talk

>>149776201 (OP)
Vikings used to bet on horses kicking each other to death, Sports will always exist in some form no matter what.

Sports are based if you play them

>>149776201 (OP)
>>my city >>> your city!!!

But this kind of made sense. In reality it's

>random selection of players from all over the place that play in the stadium in my city

>>149776201 (OP)
But my group of people I’ve never met would booty blast your group of people you’ve never met
My city >>> your city

>>149776201 (OP)
Sports are about fantasizing which sportsballer you want to fuck your wife or something like that

>>149778256
How do you feel connected to something that doesn't actually represent your area though? Your thinking and experience is the closest I can get to respecting sports, but what does representation mean for a area if it's just temporary? I know it's not realistic to expect players, coaches whoever to stay within the team their whole lives but at the end of the day if everything about what you are supporting changes, what are you actually supporting? It's a ship of theseus and that seinfeld joke of you just supporting a jersey rolled into one
