I quite like regionalism that doesn’t align with national borders. An example would be “limburgers” have a strong shared identity, even as parts of it lie in Belgium, and parts of it lie in the Netherlands.
Fundamentally it comes down to this question, I think: people tend to like to be around people that’ve shared a same background, is that ok? And to what degree?

There’s different ways of liking people: you don’t like your mam the same way you like your friends, and you don’t like your funny friend the same way you like your lover.
I have some pretty obscure interests, and the small group of local people who share my interests are from diverse backgrounds (but homogeneous in interests). Different ways of ‘liking’. Shared background is one.

Tribalism is tribalism whether or not they reach national borders
The only reason you think they are ‘cute’ is that they don’t have military power
Give the Limburgers a military that can compete on the world stage and in a few years they would be just the same as any other nationalist power
Every tribe gains military power when I’m a member.
