    native ppl don’t live the same way as westerns

    They do as soon as they’re given the option.

    What is your point here?

    My point is that you’re implying ATSI people would willingly go back to traditional hunter gatherer societies and forgo the so called “westerns” lifestyle.

    Take a look at every single culture on the planet that isn’t an uncontacted tribe. They literally all want to live like “westerns” as you put it, and frankly who wouldn’t.

      Wtf dude, you just don’t know what you are talking about. Implying that “if they want live their traditions they should not use medicine”, also

      A lot of indigenous ppl around the world want to live in this way, you have tons of documentaries showing that. If tried to learn about the topic or talk with native ppl you would know that.

      you are just a racist colonizer implying your values to others.

        And they’re welcome to, but if they won’t participate then they shouldn’t reap the rewards of an advanced industrial society.
