I lust for childrens' deaths. Ask me about how I don't care if my kids die.
Standing up for a process or a system based on a set of ideals isn't standing for nothing (like the justice system which is a process with jury etc not an answer). Nor does it mean you can't have positive policy ideas too.

Tribalism is good, it helps us empathize with the abstractions all human beings are outside of the 150 or so our brains are capable of thinking of as individuals. If we didn't have tribalism everyone outside that small village's worth of people our brains can grasp would be no more than animals to us, maybe not even living things at all. Only caring about your nation may not be as good as caring about the whole world but it's a shitload better than only caring about your family.

This is one reason global trade may be one our best bets at stitching the globe into one slightly cooperative non-warring unit.
