Interesting to watch all the bitter fighting over control of the narrative. I feel like the comment threads all over the internet are a more interesting story than the story itself.

Unless they've stolen the goods they're using, they're interacting with civilization/capitalism on its own terms. What more can you ask?

How would you even know if you did? What would you have to see or experience about reality or yourself to make you change your mind? How can you know that you haven't already experienced such a thing and just didn't recognize it?

How does that make it not a problem for Germany? Are you talking about Germany the landmass? Germany the state? Germany the nation or the ethnicity?
