“they’re not doing the traditional things anymore now that they see there’s a whole world of people with different traditions and situations” I get theres people who want to keep traditions alive because they’re traditions but also… What is really the point?

Idk I’m a traditionless heathen

I… is this an ironic The Onion thing, or…? Like, is it trying to shine a light on how the Internet has changed us as a society or is it being legitimately super weird and patronizing?

I don’t like the headline. Musk is scum, but the Internet is responsible for this. If Google’s loony “internet on balloons” project had scaled up, it’s just as likely these Amazon tribes would be using that service to turn into porn-and-social-media addicts.

What does it mean that this even sounds like a terrible idea to subject anyone new to the Internet?

Imagine going from blissfully unaware directly to american.

Wow, that Elon guy should be thrown into jail for making those tribal folk pornography addicts.

In the 19th century, it was whiskey.

Aw look at them, so pure and not tied to preconceived societal notions

Ah, the noble savages, nobly savaging around (just like us 🥲)

Yes, Starlink went down and put a gun to their heads and made them jack off to furry porn in front of their moms while their uncles gave head to some nonbinary alligators

Evil!!!

Edit: All you dorks realize how ironic it is you are upvoting this post and downvoting my comment surfing Lemmy?

The internet is what you make of it. Starlink or Musk or anyone for that matter cannot make these people surf the web. They are surfing the web

Saying, “poor people they would be better off without, they are now ADDICTED” is patronizing and an imperialist point of view

Get your heads out of your ass
