North Sentinel Island. Home of the extremely isolationist Sentinelese people.

Hostile Primitive Tribes Can Teach Us Something About Border Policy

[newagevictorianorphan]

somebody: don’t visit north sentinel island, the natives are not welcoming to outsiders and will probably kill you

idiots: WELL YOU DO REALIZE THAT THEY KILL PEOPLE RIGHT?

tbh if i could do anything in the world i wanted, i'd airdrop modern technology onto north sentinel island and then use tiny, undetectable camera bots to see what they do with it

if you didn't know, north sentinel island is this island near india that has an uncontacted tribe on it

the north-sentinelese people are like, super hostile to everyone outside the island. every boat to ever get remotely close has come back with spears and arrows stuck in it.

only one guy has ever visited the island and not gotten attacked, and he had tried going there for years before they finally let him come. and even then, they guy said that they were doing threating gestures to him the whole time

this is the reason why we know next to nothing about the people that live there. not their language, their culture, nothing. not even why they're so hostile

so basically if i were to send them, like, a phone or something

it'd be essentially like time travelling back to the stone age and giving the caveman a funny device to see his reaction

except without all of the time paradox consequences

so basically. it's a little silly

The edible started to kick in just when I was reading something about the tribes on North Sentinel Island having very little to no contact with outsiders and it just made me think that there is someone my age right now living somewhere like North Sentinel Island who would be completely baffled by the things we have around us, the things we use, the things we eat…they would be literally mind blown.

Like I’m currently watching American Dad. Somebody out there has absolutely no idea what a TV is much less the concept of animation. The sight of pictures being able to speak might literally blow their minds. Me writing all of this on a mobile phone would confuse somebody who has never used a telephone in their lives.

Our possessions are bullshit. If you think about it the things we use just isolate and divide us. In 2023 the vast majority of people in the western world have a tv in every room. Even if they don’t nearly every household has WiFi. Last I checked statistics said the vast majority of people are in possession of more than 2 cell phones. Nearly everybody has at least one spare phone in a drawer somewhere. We have our own individual access to everything. We don’t have to go outside for anything, not even for groceries any more. Yet on the other side of the world they have to forage for everything they need, including water to drink.

This isn’t a post to preach about being grateful for what we have because others don’t have it. To be honest, they’re the happier ones. Maybe that’s the point to this point. They don’t have a phones or tvs, but they have each other. Westerners are so busy working to pay for this stuff that we don’t spend time with our families and that’s if we’re not too preoccupied to have children.

All of this stuff is meaningless. Just capitalist ideas to tickle our egos and feelings in order to line their pockets. I hope we wake up for this bullshit.

Damn this edible is really hitting now. I suppose the banana makgeolli didn’t help either.

kind of obscene that North Sentinel Island, an isolationist society over which no outside power has ever exercised effective political or military control, is marked as belonging to India on maps and stuff. should be its own thing.

John Allen Chau, born in 1991, was a young American missionary driven by a fervent Christian faith and a deep desire to share his beliefs with others. Chau underwent missionary training and embarked on several missions around the world. His journey to North Sentinel Island, however, would prove to be his most ambitious and contentious endeavor.

North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinelese, one of the last known uncontacted tribes in the world. The Sentinelese people have a long history of rejecting contact with outsiders, fiercely guarding their isolation and autonomy. This isolation is not only a cultural choice but also a means of protection against diseases to which they lack immunity.

Undeterred by the risks and legal restrictions barring outsiders from approaching the island, Chau ventured illegally into the restricted waters surrounding North Sentinel Island in November 2018. His goal was to establish contact with the Sentinelese and introduce them to Christianity, believing it to be a divine calling despite warnings from anthropologists, government officials, and advocacy groups.

Chau's attempts to make contact with the Sentinelese met with resistance from the tribe, who shot arrows at him during his initial visits. Undeterred, he persisted in his efforts to communicate with them, even leaving gifts such as a football and fish on the beach in an attempt to establish rapport.

Tragically, on November 17, 2018, Chau was killed by members of the Sentinelese tribe he had been trying to make contact with. Fishermen reported that they saw the islanders dragging Chau's body, and the next day they saw his body being buried on the shore.

FlashFam as things my coworkers have said. We work in a restaurant.

Wally West: I am both too hot and too cold. I am Schrodingers temperature.

~~

Max Mercury: Bart! We've got a busy night tonight, can I trust you not to burn yourself again?

Bart Allen: Yeah yeah, I know how to not burn myself!

An hour and a half later. Bart crying, Max holding his hand under cool, running water.

Max Mercury: So you fucking lied to me.

~~

Jay Garrick, waking up from a dead sleep to wake up Joan: Does it ever bother you to think about the fact that the people on North Sentinel Island probably don't know we landed on the moon?

Joan Garrick, sick of this bullshit: I don't think they give a fuck what we do over here, one way or another.

~~

Barry Allen: Okay! Safety quiz, what is the first thing you do when someone gets hurt?

Wally West: laugh

Bart Allen: Call them an idiot.

Ace West: Make sure the food can be saved.

Barry Allen: wrong answers, all of you!

~~

Barry Allen: I'm just saying, I didn't know I was signing up to be a mentor when I took the position.

Jay Garrick: yeah, I said the same thing. Then you came around. Paybacks a bitch.

~~

Max Mercury: Look, I don't mind if you swear, but can you at least not stutter on the hard F?

Bart Allen: Sorry, I panicked.

~~

Wally West: I know this is a bad time to bring this up, but I need help with this thing.

Barry Allen, five minutes away from going to bed: If the line for unemployment wasn't so fucking long...

~~

Jay Garrick: Hey Barry, your boyfriend left his top here?

Barry Allen: What?

Jay Garrick: Yeah, he got a new shirt from the band so he changed into that one. Then he forgot his old one here.

Barry Allen: Oh thank God

Jay Garrick: What?

Barry Allen: It wouldn't be the first time Hal's clothes have fallen off after a few too many. Glad this time wasn't one of them.

~~

Max Mercury: Look, not to judge your lifestyle, but three Red Bulls in six hours is probably at least two too many.

Barry Allen: I have six kids. This is nothing.
