It's a useful tool for not placing different cultures on a scale of "bad" to "good" based on inherent bias towards your own culture. It's nowhere near the same thing as criticizing a dictator dealing with US money to abuse human rights and oppress a culture.
Hunter-gatherer tribes are primitive. Fact.
Saudi Arabia is bad. Fact.

Noid: Their dictator is just dealing with American money to abuse human rights...

LOL
