It sounds like you mean we should focus on impacting and supporting our local communities. That is definitely something more of us should be doing.
It’s the use of the word “tribalism” that’s putting people off. That word has connotations that (I don’t believe?) you intended. To a lot of us, it’s a pejorative term that refers to the mindset of a small group that’s fiercely hostile to other groups (while only being protective to their own.) A group with a “tribalist” mindset is likely a bubble of xenophobia.
