Stupid people in the world have the strange notion that ass backward jungle people are some sort of special light beings of peace, dumbasses, this stupid ass motherfucker would actually be alive if he had a little more brain power

If you are going to try something like this, you at least need to pack a flamethrower type device or something you can use to really wow them. Something that really gets their attention and makes them think you have some kind of power they want to be let in on. That's when you ask them if they have opened their heart to Jesus.

During WW2 there was a small island in the Pacific that built a religion around airplanes, the John Frum movement.

That's some weird shit, almost out of a movie.

What's kind of crazy to think about to me is that 60,000 years ago their ancestors had the technology to get to this island and that technology was lost.

Its easy to see how it could happen though on a relatively small island, just one generation that don't feel the need to be able to sail/navigate and they end up stuck there.

The AFP news agency quoted a source as saying that Chau had tried and failed to reach the island on 14 November. But then he tried again two days later.

"He was attacked by arrows but he continued walking.

"The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body. They were scared and fled," the report added.

Chau's body was spotted on 20 November. According to the Hindustan Times, his remains have yet to be recovered.

An attempt to teach them Christianity nonetheless. Religion aside, why the hell would you fuck with the ways of a tribe that's been isolated for thousands of years? That's just asking for trouble. Fuck your wanderlust and leave these people alone.

On a side note, tribes like these are fascinating.

What an asshole. He fucking knew better than to try this and he paid the price for his arrogance.

And nothing was lost.

Nuke that fucking island.

But the process of integration, once begun, was impossible to stop, said Samir Acharya, a local environmental activist, with a touch of bitterness.

“Now they have gotten infected,” he said. “They have been exposed to a modern way of life they cannot sustain. They have learned to eat rice and sugar. We have turned a free people into beggars.”


This was an interesting read. Even if someone would make peace with these people, once you start introducing the ways of the outside world it can corrupt a tribe like this.

Check out Peter Worsley The Trumpet Shall Sound and Kenelm Burridge Mambu: A Melanesian Millenium if you're interested. Excellent books on Melanesian cargo cults.

it really is crazy how Aboriginals, Sentinelese, and other Andamenese and Melanesian people have African haplogroups representing strong in their Genes, but they all left a long time ago and dispersed before we knew they could do stuff like that.....

The population is fascinating they say it ranges from 40 to 400, I think they also eat their dead.

I'll allow it...

 

[Xuh]

They can't get away with this! Trump needs to impose the toughest sanctions yet on them!

 

[osudude]

Just hope that piece of shit didn’t have a virus that kills them. Fucking missionaries destroying cultures for a long ass time

If they accepted Jesus then God would have protected them from virus.

In 1880 the British kidnapped a couple of them and since they had no contact with the outside world they had no immunities to our diseases. One of them died while on the British ship and the other was returned to the island.

What if he returned with a plague that wiped out a descent amount of the tribe and they've been shooting on first site ever since.

What's kind of crazy to think about to me is that 60,000 years ago their ancestors had the technology to get to this island and that technology was lost.

That or there was no technology 60+ thousand years ago and they just got to the island via ice bridge and got stuck when the ice melted...

this hot white girl did a photo shoot and lived

 

[osudude]

most tribes were initially hostile back then to Christianity as well, many missionaries were killed and im sure many more will be killed trying to witness to this tribe, but God always finds a way

you cannot kill that which cannot be stopped
