You take your fancy pants anthology and you scale your nearest building. Shout out: This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,--This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.--Do it. Do it right now.

Read the damn book.

I am genuinely fucking sick of drooling troglodytes like you that are obsessed with this idea of duality in regards to gigachad. Gigachad does not exist in opposition to anything. It represents an acknowledgement of a pre-existing belief. It’s existence cannot contradict by nature as it only serves as a platform.
