  • Bloodthirsty is an interesting term that I think is being applied a bit unreasonably here.

    But with the thought experiment, locking up “primitives” has been pretty common throughout history so I’m sure you can read written reports of the groups that did the imprisoning. Most reports probably exaggerate that bloodthirsty take, but it might work as an upper bound.

    Something else implied here is a bit odd to me. Humans are just one species of animal and many / most / all animal’s actions calm down after being in cages for a while. Like, a caged snake doesn’t suddenly become huggable but its going to stop striking at the cage and only strike at things that change in their environment that they feel threatened by.

    Really though, laws being applied like this to a new culture are usually through conquering or opt in from the group (the analog I’m using here is adding a new country to the EU so pretty tame), and I’m pretty lost why you’re making a post where you’re judging another isolate group with dominant cultural values and suggesting enforcement based on those values as if they generalise universally
