Great idea.

They could showcase the “indigenous people” with a parade and floats illustrating how they would kidnap, kill, capture, torture, and rape each other before the Christian missionaries made them stop.

They would still be squatting in the dust and eating lizards and dogsht

I know one who says the Taliban are just like him and he sympathizes with them.
