Do you like killing other cultures because of what you think?

If there was a tribe that got documented on film. You watched it and you saw them burying their child alive. How would you feel? If you can do something about it would you like to brainwash them about their belief? That will make them civilized. That will make them more like everyone else in this earth. That would erase their beliefs. That will kidnap them to your religion and beliefs. Many tribes ended like that and was never heard of again. What if you were that tribe?

It's scary that tribes ended up like that. Well, I think why not brainwash them? I'll brainwash their belief. I'll do it as long as my action won't hurt anyone else. It's for the good sake, isn't it? I believe it's okay.

What if it happens the other way around? They will brainwash you thinking that they are doing it for good sake.

Do you mean 'the killer' tribe brainwashing me? It's hard to say. In my point of view, we should look at the differences between some things so we might know which is good and which one is bad. If the differences are to much between two things, I guess we should prove and support our opinion (I guess brainwashing is acceptable in this way). When the differences are less, brainwashing is not necessary. What do you say?

Killer tribe? Yeah, in your view they are killers but in their view they are doing it for good reasons. That's not what I meant to ask you but the other way around like you are the tribal person and you know those rituals are very important, your tribe has been doing it for thousands of years (just like other religions), and then someone comes and speaks to your tribe about their religion about what is wrong and right and how it is all about their view, what would you have done if you were the chief of the tribe? I think that is a better question. Alright, about your take on this issue. I would say that you are right about that one if the differences are less you don't have to brainwash them but then that would also mean if there were big differences brainwashing would be necessary. And about proving and supporting our opinion, I believe that our opinions are biased by our faith so proving your opinion will just cause a conflict of who is right and wrong which leads to who is superior and inferior and then a conflict goes on and it can become something bigger. But in tribes usually you can outsmart them with technology and they will worship you. And after that you will teach them the use of money. Then they become addicted to money and become dependent to money. And then they will work their butts off for money just like many countries in this world. I think it would be be better if we just didn't do anything to them.
