Been hearing the word here and there and it just sounds too primitive to be used in modern politics and yet here we are using it but I'm sure it has a different meaning which I do not know and for that I apologize.

it means supporting things that assist your group and opposing things that assist whatever group you consider 'bad'

in the united states the tribal divide is 'whites' vs 'blacks and latinos' mostly

So bandwagoning? Herd/mob mentality?

Yes. When people talk about humans being tribalistic, they mean that humans tend to stay in groups that either look like them or think like them.

So it's team-sports politics.

Yes. It's when you just parrot what other people say on your "team" and defend it to the death, instead of actually researching and understanding the subject at hand and forming your own educated opinion, regardless of what everyone else is saying.

tribalism happens everywhere. you see it in sports, religion, politics, nationalism, race, etc. whenever someone supports the side they identify with over any other side no matter what, it's tribalism

I'm surprised you only came across it so recently, but you can see great examples on this very board.

Yeah, or how people literally defended things like releasing a fighting game with no content besides versus, online versus, and survival.

Video game fanboyism is far from being a Trump supporter.

It is, but it's also a good example.

Wish I could find the ps4 fanboy meme. "graphics killing the soul of the game" or somesuch.

Well, for one specific game, it's not a good comparison.

If we take a look at the height of Sony fanboyism, however, we'd find some pretty ridiculous shit. People would literally claim nonsense like "The PS3 has 8 cores, far more than any gaming PC" or that their GDDR5 RAM in the PS4 is superior to DDR3 in gaming PCs.
