Explanation: the people of Sentinel Island refuse to communicate with other cultures, and kill outsiders on sight. They’re the only culture untouched by the politics of the rest of the world.
Anything involving more than one person is political, so the only way to avoid politics is to kill everyone you meet on sight. But unlike the Sentinelese, you wouldn’t be able to have any friends.
untouched by the politics of the rest of the world
Except when they get devastated by hurricanes made increasingly severe by climate change. Seriously, they’re an existential threat to Sentinelese civilization.
You are correct to think I’m not fun at parties.
Absolutely correct. In order to avoid politics, you need to eat the rich, and THEN kill everyone you meet on sight.
what if you’re the richest person you know, and you own a hallway of mirrors
Then what the fuck do you care? You can just go to Mars when the world really starts burning
What if I’m not go-to-Mars rich, but like, go-to-Whitecastle rich?
Their air, water and soil are polluted. They are not untouched.
They still have politics, for example, the hardest immigration policy in the planet.
There are other “uncontacted” tribes, although they are perhaps more contacted than the sentinelese depending on how you look at it.
