Yes. Nothing humans do is unnatural. David Cronenberg says that even technology is just an extension of humanity's will and thought and it's in no way, something unnatural.

>Barbarism is the natural state of mankind.

BARBARISM IS THE NATURAL STATE OF THE BARBARIAN.


>Civilization is unnatural.

CIVILIZATION IS CONTRANATURAL.

AND?


>It is a whim of circumstance...

CIVILIZATION IS THE RESULT OF A CONCERTED, DESIGNED, PURPOSEFUL, AND INTENTIONAL OPERATION OF IMPOSITION, AND CONSTRUCTION, OF NOBLE HUMAN ORDER AGAINST, AND IN SPITE OF, THE FATALITY OF NATURE.

THERE IS NOTHING WHIMSICAL, NOR CIRCUMSTANTIAL, REGARDING CIVILIZATION; CIVILIZATION IS ACTUAL, NOT ACCIDENTAL


>…and barbarism must always ultimately triumph.

IT IS OF COURSE THAT A BARBARIAN WOULD OPINE THAT...

We have been sitting with an unfinished election since Tuesday
Biden won some states, Trump won some others
There's razor thin margins in swing states (as one would expect)
Due to these razor thin margins and states suddenly flipping some say there's fraud, others no.

If we are gonna have a civil war, it won't be till after recounts and court cases

THE TRUE DESCRIPTION OF THE NAMELESS COUNTRY, INSTEAD OF: «UNITED STATES OF AMERICA», IS: «FEDERATED STATES OF ANGLOAMERICA», BUT NOONE REFERS TO IT BY THAT TERM, THEREFORE, A DEMONYM REFERRING TO IT WOULD BE USELESS.

ULTIMATELY, THE NAMELESS COUNTRY’S NAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN: «COLUMBIA», AND, ITS DEMONYM: «COLUMBIAN».
