Funny how liberals view primitive tribes as an interesting animal that's to be ejnoyed by observing from afar, rather than fellow human beings that would enjoy an air-conditioned house and a flat screen TV as much as the rest of us.

Liberals would force them to immigrate to the USA, but keep them in loin clothes and grass huts all in the name of ‘diversity’.

Fox just got hoaxed. This pic which was itself a hoax of another network has been around for years.

Uncontacted means:

No modern medical treatment.
No modern education.

We are not doing them a favor by leaving them in ignorant squalor.

It never occurs to the left that people live this way because it’s far better than urban poverty and eating out of trash cans.

The “contacted” tribes are absolutely delighted to have a house, mac n cheese, and a television. The only downside is their poor resistance to diseases but that’s a different topic.

I remember when a hoax tribe in the Philippines (late ‘70s or early 80’s) reeled in some gullible reporter. He bet his whole career on them and lost. His career was probably resurrected by some news agency. He could be a star on MSNBC and I would never know it.

If my memory serves me correctly, this picture was published a year or two ago with the same headline. It then turned out to be fake.

Yep. Same exact picture. It looks like the anti-logging folks are trying to resurrect the hoax to create a guilt trip for the Peruvian government. Hope it doesn’t work.

That photo was taken several years ago, and the ‘tribe’ had had many contacts with modern people. It was a big hoax back in 2006, and it’s a bigger hoax now.

I don't doubt you but, if this image has been around for years, I would expect TinEye to have some hits for it.

As it is, It returns 0 results.
