It’s one of the great ironies of anthropology. The tribe just over the hill or around the bend in the river is the one almost certain to be more like you than anyone else on Earth. They’re also your fiercest competitors for scarce local resources. So: potential best friends, in practice often your worst enemies.
I read the NY Times article after I heard some of the complaints. I think it was misunderstood. It was intended as a warning about the neo-Nazis trying to make themselves look normal and a warning that in some ways the effort was working. Maybe the article was too subtle, but that was the intent I saw and also according to a later editorial in the Times.
