The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

Looking at any kind of politics and how it changed over the last 10 or so years, it’s a clear no from me.

Even reddit event is an example of us vs them that happened between those that stayed and those that left. Lot of actions seem to be made up of small acts of us vs them to drive forward decision making.
