The word "tribe" can be defined to mean an extended kin group or [[clan]] with a common ancestor, or can also be described as a group who share the common interest of mutual survival and preservation of a common culture. The proverb "[[wikt:birds of a feather flock together|birds of a feather flock together]]" describes [[homophily]],<ref>{{cite magazine |magazine=[[Foreign Affairs]] |first=Niall |last=Ferguson |quote=At the same time, birds of a feather flock together. Because of the phenomenon known as "'homophily,"' or attraction to similarity, social networks tend to form clusters of nodes with similar properties or attitudes. |url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2017-08-15/false-prophecy-hyperconnection |url-access=subscription |title=The False Prophecy of Hyperconnection |date=August 15, 2017 |access-date=October 1, 2017}}</ref> the human tendency to form friendship networks with people of similar occupations, interests, and habits.<ref name=birds>{{cite journal | last1 = McPherson | first1 = M. | last2 = Smith-Lovin | first2 = L. | last3 = Cook | first3 = J.

Tribalism in a political sense refers to the strong political solidarity typical of [[post-truth politics]].<ref name="NJ119">{{cite journal |author1=Daniel L.
