That's not History 101. That's your perception of how society works. Your perception is flawed for two reasons: 1) It could be legitimately argued that our "house" is divided in many ways and that there are already "sets of competing tribes." 2) There could be many things other than a "central institution" that unites people or, at the very least, keeps them from harming one another.History 101: If there is no central institution from which a common set of values extends across the broad spectrum of society, then that society will become a set of competing tribes engaged in a zero-sum struggle for power, and will turn on itself. A house divided will not stand.
