There is actually tribalism in the form of economic equality. Rich people only hang out with rich people. Poor only with the poor, etc.

What does a rich person need to do to be segregated from society? Simply go to a expensive restaurant or country club.

There’s a distinction in the article, I think, in that tribalism is rooted in anti-egalitarianism that your comment doesn’t address. You can go to different restaurants without thinking less of another person.

Differing tastes/hobbies/actions is not enough to meet the criteria of tribalism, less we fracture into “pineapple on pizza vs no pineapple” tribes.

Eventually it is different tastes in expressions, different hobbies as customs and different political actions.
