Tribes aren't exclusively authoritarian, though plenty are (especially the strict and dogmatic ones that are present in Afghanistan and the Middle East).

Raven's social darwinism could be a case of Blue/Orange morality centered on might. In her view, the attack on the village was justified because her clan was stronger and thus they deserved the supplies from the village more (since a Grimm attack could raze the supplies anyway), and they gave the village as much of a chance as they could (though they probably knew an attack on the village was a death sentence anyway). It doesn't make them right, but it can explain how they think it was right. They couldn't just settle down and live peacefully, since that would make them as weak as the villages they used to raid overtime.
