traditional civilization

A traditional civilization is a human society organized into communities with customs, rituals, myths, epics, culture, religion, traditions and social practices that have been maintained for generations, usually with their own system of values and beliefs. In simple terms, it is a culture with deep roots and historical continuity, often characterized by a strong connection to nature and community.

Traditional civilizations usually have well-defined social structures, with hierarchies and specific roles for each member of the community. Spirituality plays a central role in traditional civilizations, with beliefs and rituals guiding people's lives. Craft practices and practical knowledge, passed down from generation to generation, are valued and essential to community life. Traditional civilizations generally have an intimate relationship with nature, depending on it for subsistence and integrating it into their rituals and beliefs. The transmission of values and knowledge through traditions is fundamental to maintaining the community's cultural and social identity. A sense of community and solidarity between members of society are important for everyone's survival and well-being.

A representative democracy isn't a true democracy. A true democracy would be a civil democracy.

Civilization

Be careful going west of Albany or north of Montreal- that is the realm of barbarism. Civilization lies within the triangle between New York, Boston, and Montreal.

2nd American Civil War

Something that hasn't happened yet, and hopefully never will, but some people are very confident that it will. In fact, some people seemingly WANT to kick it off, confident that they would win and basically get to do whatever they want.

Don't be some people. War bad.
The thought of a 2nd American Civil War around the corner is often used by Americans who don't like the current president. It became much more "popular" in the 2010s.
