The ingroup outgroup demarcation among Tegarus

Post by justo » 10 Jun 2020, 10:42

I am going to explore this thread in small installments and will start with a simple question

Can one be totally dishonest to outgroups and be somewhat honest within group?

I am going to explore the social contract among Tegarus

Can Alula cheat Woldenkiel and be truly loyal to Yohannes?

It is upto us to correct it but people had no real vision.Eni Meles neta seltan ilom felaleyomna.Nab stone age melisomna.There are two mirrors for this,the enemy side and our side.Kemta raesi Weldemichael ilomwa zbehal metsehaf kedus tray eyu zgelagelena.Thanks God that there are heroic Eritreans that you will like to give your life for. Nai hiwot tergum dema eziy eyu.Ne jeganu deqi sebat Egziabher yebarek.

No, he couldn't for Yohannes was a cheat and a liar himself. But again isn't dishonesty a trademark of many Agames?

If Tegarus were as dishonest to each other as they have been to Eritreans and Ethiopians, they wouldn't have a cohesive society.
To put it differently, if Seyoum Mesfin were to lie to Getachew Reda as much he has lied to Ethiopian and Eritreans, Seyoum and Getachew would be at each other's throat.

A society of all against all is not feasible, and wouldn't survive a single day.

Tigray has attacked Somalia, Eritrea, Oromia, the Amharas and the Afars, just to name a few.
And if they were to attacked each other with similar vengeance, we would have a dog eat dog society in Mekelle.
But, evidently we don't have such a situation in Mekelle, and there seems to be a semblance of cohesion in the Tigray society.

That is why I am asking, can one be dishonest to an out group and honest internally. Can Seyoum Mesfin habitually lie to me and habitually tell the truth to Getachew Reda?
