Something that always gets me, in my own thinking, is where the line is between “as a people they don’t want to be contacted” and “the individuals who live there don’t want to be contacted”.

But when other societies are committing genocide we don’t (or shouldn’t) simply ask that country’s representatives whether it’s okay for us to stop them.
