    The sentinelese see right through that bullshit. Leave them alone.

      Sometimes I wonder if they’re the last sane people on the planet. Then I remember we have antibiotics, and my mom has a power wheelchair, and I wonder if there can’t be some middle ground.

      Yep. From the North Sentinel Island wikipedia page:

      The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at **low-flying helicopters. **

      If they’re shooting at a helicopter, I don’t think they’ll think about a bunch of drones any differently.

        People trying to shoot down a helicopter with bows and arrows is a hilarious thing to picture

          Well they did succeed in making it go away, so there’s that

          Edit: This is a bit of a tongue in cheek joke

      At this point I’m getting concerned with the amount of climate change we’ve got going on if they may be forced to relocate in the not too distant future

          The highlands of scandinavia should be safer than most and might suit them, with rømmegrøt and hallingdans on Hardangervidda

          Pacific Northwest is probably okay that’s why we are trying to build dual power to replace the government when it collapses and fight the Nazis who want to do the same

              Do you live here? Probably okay means survivable, literally over a billion people will die if they can’t move from the unsurvivable parts

                I don’t need to live in a place to know that heat domes, droughts, and rampant wildfires do not describe a place that’s “probably survivable.” You will not be able to live there 15-20 years from now.

        This would be the best reason to contact, not to convert them as Christian goons are trying to do
