I've noticed there are maybe three different types of 'qabil-minded' people among Somalis. I would say the first one is OK, and without them Somalia be even worse off than today, but the second 2 need to be addressed.
1. Civic Qabilist
The civic qablist raises money for schools, clinics, and infrastructure in his home region. He regularly pays qaraan and helps kinsmen whenever he is able to. The civic qabilist's mentality is how can I make my tol better off . He feels a sense of loyalty and duty to his clan.
2. Psychological Qabilsit
The psychological qabilist is not primarily motivated by a sense of duty to his clan or a desire to make them better off. His motivation is an emotion, and he uses qabil as the outlet for that emotion. The emotion might be anger, inferiority complex, a feeling of betrayal, or even just a deep-seated need to feel superior to other people. Instead of being involved in raising funds for schools or aiding distressed kinsmen, the psychological qabilsit can be found in the teashop (or more commonly now, online) bashing other clans, boasting about his own clan superiority, reciting alleged wrongs that were done to his group by this group or that, and similar antics. The Psychological Qabilsit is often very obsessed with Somalia politics, especially the constant regional and clan struggles, as they allow him to vent all of his psychological issues through qabil, and thereby give himself some temporary relief.
3. Self-Motivated Qabilist
The Self-Motivated Qabilist wants to get ahead. He wants money, power, networking opportunities, and whatever type of resources he can get. He's firmly a "taker" instead of a "giver." The Self-Motivated Qabilist is an expert manipulator, and he quickly realizes that through qabil he can very easily manipulate a lot of Somalis. So although he's not terribly interested in clan and is very much a pragmatist on clan-related issues, he will use qabil whenever it can benefit him, like running for a political seat. But you won't catch him paying qaraan on visiting his clan home regions, ever. He'll take all the money he swindled from the people he's manipulated through qabil and fly off to Nairobi or Dubai to enjoy the spoils of his work.
