Stone age ?
The New Zealand Maoris, a Pacific Islands based race of people that sailed to New Zealand sometime around the 15th century, did much the same behaviour up until the 1850s, when the British, who arrived around 1820, finally were able to bring order to the land, somewhat. The Maoris were a warring race of people who often ate their vanquished opposers, sometimes shrinking the heads of the beaten chiefs. There is a modern construction site that has just been halted, due to broken bones in a long hidden midden (don't know the Maori word for an old cooking site)
History lesson, lol.
The modern Maoris, all of whom are part NZ European, have been trying to reclaim the islands as their own, this sedition is led by a political party, censured for wearing cowboy hats, that has members with facial tattoos, and a group of unelected 'chiefs' who seem to get the vast bulk of government handouts.
A race war is predicted, the timing is the question.
So all of you Trump haters stop thinking about moving here.
Much as we agree with you.

The 'this woman brought her kids to our date and expects me to pay for them' video properly made me laugh out loud.
