The comment, “You are not wise sir,” directed at someone exposing tribalism and bigotry, reflects a lack of understanding of the issue at hand. Rather than engaging in meaningful discourse, this type of remark seeks to undermine the individual addressing a serious problem. Tribalism and bigotry are societal issues that demand attention, and calling out harmful language is a necessary step towards fostering unity and respect among different communities.

By attacking the person shedding light on the issue, the focus is shifted away from the problem and onto the individual, which discourages others from speaking out. This kind of response perpetuates silence and allows harmful ideologies to persist unchecked.
