The Native Americans practiced open borders and lost almost all their land. The Sentinelese closed their borders and have kept their land to the present day and the entire world is afraid of them. History is pretty clear on which policy is correct.

We are not afraid of the sentinelese, we decided to respect their isolation. We could easily overpower the sentinelese.

Do you think native Americans didn't have defined territories? Territory policies also varied greatly across tribes so treating native Americans as a homogeneous group betrays your ignorance on the topic.

This is like big brain cuz those guys have spears and arrows and have valiantly thwarted the encroaching nuclear arsenal heading their way to stop them. All the other FOOLS with open borders got better things from the spread of ideas, and got so big and self important… they just let the goobers do what they want on their island!

Americans invaded Americans? What? They didn’t immediately kick out the EUROPEANS who landed there and as a result they got fucked up.

Doesn’t matter if they refused to enforce them. The Jamestown colony was hanging by a thread in the winter of 1607-1608. Did the Powhatan wipe them out? No, they aided them. If they had closed their borders like the Sentinelese they might still have borders.

You know exactly what I’m saying don’t be dumb. You’re also forgetting the entire fact that Native Americans and American Settlers traded and benefitted from one another. They fought because of one or the other closing off borders. Also don’t forget that there were many different tribes and relationships varied.

Frankly, it wouldn’t have mattered if all tribes closed their borders. We had fucking guns and they didn’t…

It’s not my job to interpret your mistakes, it’s your job not to make them. Are these the trade benefits you’re talking about? Because to me it looks like they lost almost all their territory which is the opposite of a benefit. Many people call it a genocide.
