Don't fall into the Rousseau trap. "Nature" is a never-ending battle for survival with no rules except the framework of physics, and has been since the first cells formed.
It is our knowledge, and the control over our environment this knowledge, bestows that has allowed us to create a system that attempts, to the best of our ability--to be "fair" in a way that natural law precludes. This endeavor has been going on for thousands of years, and we're yet to perfect it.
Really nice post. Let me ask you this: with potential pop overshoot, resource constraints and env degradation, dont the uniparty actions begin to make sense?
I mean why not go hog while attemping to enslave humanity to enable personal material surplus?
Resources are constrained through the limits of technology.
The concept of "non-renewable" vs "renewable" is a farce.
EVERYTHING, is renewable. We have as much aluminum, for example, today than we did 2,000 years ago and will continue to have until we have sufficiently advanced technology to alter elements economically- such as fusion of a hydrogen proton to say, cobalt, to create nickle.
In addition, much to the chagrin of Paul Ehrlich, the "population bomb" never went off, even after 5 fucking decades. Eight billion humans can comfortably live in Texas. So that's also not an issue*.
What am I getting at with this? During the Last Glacial Maximum CO2 levels were 170ppm. C3 plants (80% of vegetation) carbon starvation occurs at 150ppm. We're unlocking Life.
I've always been largely dismissive of classical Malthusian concerns based on the simple fact that population growth rates have almost universally flattened out considerably as education and standard of living increased. If we didn't artificially subsidize population growth in undeveloped (or incapable-of-development, at least for now) areas, those areas would cease their population growth as well. If there's a Malthusian crisis brewing, it is of the globalists own creation, rending any notion of a moral high ground in "saving" humanity (by mongrelizing all races into a subservient class under a "benevolent" aristocratic leadership caste) moot. Technology has triumphed for thousands of years in exerting human control over an unpredictable environment, and I have no doubt that we can and will continue to overcome any challenges (including demographic) in the future.
The Georgia Guidestone perspective is a fearful, neurotic, and ultimately, genocidal outlook.
You are reading too much into it. Nature is indeed a never ending battle but there is honor in that battle. Homeostasis is a natural law of all ordered systems. Failure to obey this law results in the destruction of the system. Simple as that. Antifa have upset the homeostasis of America, they will thus be purged so the balance can return.
Homeostasis is a natural law of all ordered systems.
An emergent property, not a priori.
I mean, I don't think we actually disagree; everyone here thinks the rioters are acting far (far, far) below the standards of civilized behavior we set for our society as a whole (and moreover indicative of broader problems with societal subcultures that tenuously coexist within the larger whole where these "values"--and much worse--are the norm).

And, even more so, the Homo Sapiens saved Earth:

*Welllll, I spoke to quickly on this. And do need to address. There's one problem of a massive population.
Heat.
A trillion humans generate a LOT of heat. As long as that can be adequately addressed, we're good.

I absolutely adhere to the Gaia Hypothesis.
Mercury? Dead. Venus? Dead. Mars? Dead.
There's only one living & breathing planet.
Indeed. The Earth abides!
That was a great novel. Written in 1947, I think.
Anthropomorphizing.

On with the purging already!
Indeed.
