What tribes were involved in the French Revolution, when the Place de la Concord
ran red with blood.  Worker tribe and Aristocrat tribe?  Not the usual definition
of "tribe.:

Once the devil is out of the bottle -- the cork popped by perceived oppression --
there is no limit to the killing.  The tribal identification, if there is one, makes 
it easier to stir up the mob and easier to identify the economic enemy.  Tribes 
live together peacefully for centuries as long as the smaller one does not 
oppress the larger.  The smaller has the guns.  The larger has the numbers.

Why are we discussing this?  Because it pertains to any modern nation that 
has a majority, even if only in a local area, which perceives itself oppressed.  
Watch Southern California during the 21 century.
