fuck it. settlers call it a nation, but it is its cult-driven absence. settlers call it a civilization, but its hallmarks are war and famine. settlers call it a government but under its auspices, the people starve. settler language is not capable, not serious; full of inversions that hide and tidy universes of violence. this is not a nation. this is not a government. this is not a civilization. it is the pageantry of a killing machine.
