Hermits live without others but you might call them tribalists. I would too
Comparing myself to a tribalist is futile as well because I wasn't born into a tribe. Although my ancestors, the ones I actually have written records of before Christianity showed up belonged to a feudal society I still wouldn't call them tribal
Tribes are something from much further back in time and they had names. For this reason, saying that one is tribal or is a tribalist is misleading. One can't simply dismiss the past and suddenly believe they belong to a tribe; even if there's such a thing as say identifying which tribe you descend from in Israel
Maybe I'm just being picky with my terminology but I don't want to trivialize history by saying that everybody is the same. Let's say there's a group of people that never became a tribe due to isolation, we shouldn't call them a tribe in my opinion
This almost reminds me of when people use the word gang for a group or gang mentality when in fact that group clearly isn't a criminal outfit. I know that isn't the same thing but it makes me think of that and how people can overuse certain terms. Perhaps they think they can get rid of the original meaning of a term, but that's just foolishness to me
