>>152688 Calling a people "unspoiled" is a condescending, back-handed compliment. By making a people out to be children of nature, and the West unnatural and artificial, you perpetuate the subject-object logic of racist colonialism, where "natives" are part of the natural, objective world upon which "we", the subjects of history, act (or should refrain from acting). The Himba are just as "artificial" (i.e., as cultured) as Westerners, and Western society is just as "natural" (i.e. as driven by base and unconscious forces) as any other.
