    I understand this rhetoric, but one extremely effective way of changing people’s opinions and broadening their world view is travel. Banning people from the US from traveling will only result in more insulation and “othering”.

    That said, American tourists are 👏the 👏worst (I say as an American). We should act like what we are: guests. I’ve had the privilege to travel to five nations that don’t speak English as their native language and have learned my P’s and Q’s every time and it’s always paid off. I speak the language terribly, but I’m at least willing to try.

      I get where you are coming from, but I think the only way to get through to the goddamned, thick skulled, toddler brained populace of the us, is to take their fucking toys away.

      Don’t allow them to travel to other countries. Economically sanction them and make burger price go up. For the love of god get the all military and all us bases out of your country.

      The us should be shunned and rot in rhe mess they made for themselves while the world builds solidarity and cooperates. Twisted fucks can learn appreciation for the world by experiencing being cut off from it.
