    Go read about the whites first contact with Polynesians, they literally stumbled on utopia and HATED it. They were FURIOUS these naked people surfed and sang and danced all day and farmed for about 15 seconds and had more food then they ever needed. They literally never heard about work, they had dance crew battles and picked their leaders by if they could do any cool tricks on the waves.

      You sparked my interest, so I did go read about it. I didn’t find anything like what you explained though. Do you have any sources?

        Idk, you might need a library, or a Somoan over 40 to get the info.

      Weren’t polynesians a bunch of warrior tribes that pretty much hunted some pacific birds down to extinction and when they got their hands on gunpowder weapons one tribe pretty much obliterated every other tribe?

        You can’t lump them all together there were very different outcomes of multiple islands and cultures.
