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
You don’t see a difference between moving long distances because of a nomadic lifestyle and visiting a beach 5000km away from where you live and coming back a week later?
My allies here are the people intelligent enough to realize that tourism as we do it now will never be sustainable, not people trying to justify it any way they can.
The day you make it have zero environmental impact then go ahead, in the meantime you have no leg to stand on because that’s not what’s happening.
Lmao. Go ahead and sidestep my points entirely, I am not going to waste time on hyperbolic comparisons.
Your disagreed with me saying that people didn’t have the mobility we have today, I don’t see how I’m sidestepping.
