The phrase "per forza di cose" is a fairly formal expression that usually translates as 'inevitably', but literally it means something more like "BECAUSE REASONS"

@IPEdmonton This is great!

German has a fancypants expression: "die normative Kraft des Faktischen", which basically just means "things are the way they are just because they are that way"
