How could humanity fall back into a tribal society?

I'm only doing it because /pol/tards WILL ruin the thread with their political garbage so at least we can strike the first blow.

Are you retarded on purpose or for real? By your logic, any form of settlers send to anywhere would inevetably turn into a tribalistic society.
Do I really need to mention this never happend, you stupid shit?

Pic for you

I guess Eternal Summer is really a thing.

>purchase equipment that allows them to completely divorce themselves from commerce and society,

You can't divorce yourself completely from commerce and society and the vast majority of people would never do so, seeing as humans are very social animals.

And how do you think you purchase all these

> solar-powered generators and protein assemblers?!?

You have to trade for them. By producing something that somebody else wants. That's commerce. You'll never be hand-crafting a protein assembler any more than you'll be hand-crafting a smartphone.

Any 2 people standing together is an economy.

And we're all very tribal as it is. Unless dumb op meant to say "low level of technology hunter-gatherer tribes", which is an entirely different concept.

Climate change could cause massive migrations tho, when Krakatoa erupted in the 7th century, Constantinople was besieged by nomadic types (Alans)

Northwest Europeans successfully commit self genocide.

Some amount of society would be necessary, if only to produce further generations.

They will either wither away in seclusion and lonliness or they will spend time with each other, focusing on art, music, and play games, to create.

There won't be anything to hold people who don't want to be with other people together, but there will always be plenty of people who need to be around other people, so they will still keep together.

We don't have to interact but most actually want to.

If the side that isn't my side accomplishes the secret goals I say they have then everything will be ruined forever.

Fortunately I've heard around about the right solution and I feel like people are starting to come around to it ever since I became aware of it.

If arbitrary micro assemblers drop to the price range of one being in every garage, I'm pretty sure we would be facing multiple apocalyptic plagues before we had all that ling to enjoy post-scarcity life and develop new social norms for it.

People finally realize that sustainable communities can only truly be made if you keep Dunbar's number in mind when forming communities.
Cities are abandoned and demolished for materials.
Large swathes of humanity cease to exist and everyone who remains lives in small idyll communities.

This is where life gets fun. Every ambitious man becomes a nation unto himself. Every man becomes an entrepreneur, a nation, a corporation all rolled into one.

It's like you are retarded for real and not just pretending

You have no imagination or any amount of reading comprehension. And of course it never happened as to do what I described you would need a near fantastical change in the universe as a whole. What you said had no bearing on my post at all.

>any form of settlers send to anywhere would inevitably turn into a tribalistic society.
They potentially can if cut off from civilization entirely, no new arrivals, no supply of resources, and lacking the industry or numbers to build up much in their new location, the best they could hope for is pre-industrial level of society but depending on their circumstances they could fall further. You would also need a lot of time for the knowledge to be lost.

The main point, you dumbass, is that in order for it to be "possible" to have what OP asked, you would need a thinly spread population and our population is much too large and condensed for that. It's not the most likely outcome, but it's a possible one given the right circumstances. So in order to get what OP asked you either need fewer people or more space and a way of spreading them over that space.

Capitalism running it's course without change to another system

>Commie filth.
Disgusting.

>long with it over 95% of human population for this shit to work.
Bollocks. Much of humanity is still tribalistic, especially the middle east. It's easy to not realise how tribal most groups are, it's just Europeans and Anglos who aren't.

Oh, so you are retarded for real too

I wonder what 1.5 billion Chinese would like to say to your stupid /pol/tard ass

>what is guanxi

While you're missing the point you do point out the initial problem with OP's question is that he uses the wrong terminology. He is thinking of hunter gatherer societies, pre-agricultural, and he associates the concept of tribes with that.

He is wrong as much of the world does have tribalism still ingrained in their culture despite the advance of civilization around them, and it's only in the west that we, having lost a lot of that some time back, assume tribes are a thing uncivilized cultures do.

I still think nuclear families should disappear.

>I can't understand what they're saying
>can't think of an argument
>I'll just call them retarded
Right.

Op here.

Nope, i didn't mean that. I meant tribes like in the middle east.

if that's what you meant then the answer is just that you need a big reset button for a culture to have that form of tribes. Otherwise the closest you get are people having tribal attitudes over other things like they do everywhere, but then associating that with their own more more local community, only for the community to migrate around and interact with other communities over time.

It seems like a silly question to ask from that angle.

>guanxi
>tribal
Following this pattern, we never really went from tribalistic society to anything else.

More outdated memes, please!

China is tribalist as fuck. They bulldoze mosques, are ethnically cleansing Tibet, and have more billionaires in their country than they do 'refugees'.

So we actually have a great historical example of this happening. The Bronze age Collapse.

Generally the number one cause of this accepted by historians is Famine.

I believe that climate change, whether caused by man made greenhouse gasses, volcanic eruption, meteor impact, or nuclear war is probably the only realistic way for something like this to happen in our modern world. But you can see how our society being so dependent on global trade mirrors the society of the Late Bronze Age.
