People moved extreme distances in the past and often, there is a lot of evidence for groups and individuals travelling 100s to 1000s of kms. We followed long distance game. We evolved to travel. It was slower but we did it. We can do it now with more sustainable options as I said. There is nothing inherently wrong with doing it faster now. Instead of attacking individuals who want to see the world and experience something different, please for the love of god just attack the oil barrons who we know are holding us all back. They buy up patents for green tech and shelve them. Attacking people like you are doing with hyperbolic false dilemmas does not harm the people who are causing the issue. You are only empowering them, seperating yourself from potential allies and perpetuating ignorance which favours the capitalists. The less you move, the more borders they create.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It
Lmao. Go ahead and sidestep my points entirely, I am not going to waste time on hyperbolic comparisons.
That is not accurate.
You're intentionally missing the point entirely.
Exposure to other cultures is extremely important for building a just society. We have other options to make it more sustainable.
Edit: We've always been a mobile species. Sedentary lifestyles are extremely new to us, we are meant to travel and meet others. It's healthy. Otherwise populations get isolated and weird.
Ah, the mysterious hacker known as 4chan.
It was more than that. There were hateful reports.
A Roman Salute is literally the Nazi salute lmao.
I am sorry that people reacted so poorly to this. I thought it was beautiful. It is still bothering me, after seeing the reports made on this.
This is how I discovered my mom is a stoner.
