Imagine vacationing in America lol
To be fair, there’s beautiful places all over the country, which unfortunately might not be around much longer.
The Smoky Mountains, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier…all super awesome places which will be logging and mining camps in my lifetime
The gusanos from my country love to visit the USA.
And with visit I mean Miami, Disneyworld, New York, LA and, maybe, San Francisco. They love the “cheap” stuff they can buy there (clothes, tech), take photos of the places they see in movies (thanks, Hollywood propaganda), and they come back to tell you: “That is a civilized country for civilized people, like me of course, unlike our barbarian country with barbaric people”.
With that I don’t mean that yankeeland doesn’t have beautiful places (like the ones you said). But the people from my country who can travel (growing smaller by the day), and that choose USA for their visit, usually are upper class who love their Hollywood movies and hate the fact that they were born in a “third world” country.
Anyone who visits Hollywood should immediately realize the US image is pure propaganda. That place gets worse every year, with just increasing amounts of dirt, grime, homeless people, grifters, etc and decreasing amounts of its unique character and culture. It’s a place that tourists gather to spend their money and they still can’t bring themselves to spend the money to keep it nice, presentable, and livable. Meshwhile, multi-million dollar mansions surround it on the outskirts, not to mention the star studded movie premieres with expensive suits and designer dresses that gather there a few events every year.
It’s a testament to the downsides of capitalism and the atomization of society.
hopefully some day we can string up all the multimillionaires living in mansions in LA while surrounded by hell on earth levels of poverty and despair.
I hate rich latin americans. they are more disgusting and fascist than almost anywhere else on earth. they delight in their greed like hogs in a pit of mud. they will burn in hell.
Most likely the white or ‘half’ white descendants of colonizers; the indigenous populations of Latin America suffer because of them. Evo Morales was from the indigenous population and it took having him in government for indigenous people in Bolivia to be allowed to work in government; the white government that overthrew him, surprise surprise, referred to the indigenous population as Satanists.
The history of the persecution of the indigenous peoples of Latin America is horrifying. Absolute cruelty for cruelty’s sake was visited upon them.
They are white as fuck in general. Fucking scum.
Oh yeah, the west coast is pure gold (laugh), and it’s a shame such a work of beauty is occupied by the great satan.
Our food is really good, too. We have everything from all over the world and then some. One complaint I’ve heard about visiting Germany, for example, is there’s nothing but German food. The US has German food, but also Italian, French, Chinese, Thai, Ethiopian, Columbian, etc.
Some of our major cities can also be a lot of fun. There’s a bunch to see in Seattle and Washington DC, even if you don’t want to go to historic sites gooning themselves over founding fathers. New York and LA are impossible to experience in one sitting. You have to live in them for an extended period or make several visits.
Then again, you could just go visit China or India or France.
Germany is cosmopolitan, it has many types of food from all around the world and a pretty big group of vegans spicing things up. Though when th3y “Germanize” a dish it always makes it worse.
One complaint I’ve heard about visiting Germany, for example, is there’s nothing but German food.
That’s nonsense. You actively have to inconvenience yourself to get German food, and it’s basically only eaten by boomers and tourists. On the other hand, you can get genericized Italian, Turkish or Vietnamese food basically anywhere that’s not a tiny village.
Admittedly, the quality is usually not the best.
I’m currently in Italy on vacation and it’s hard to have a bad meal here - usually in tourist hotspots, or like take-away.
The Beaverton kinda nailed it with this one: US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!”
The ads list various popular American destinations: “Visit Disney World, the Grand Canyon, or –depending on the contents of your cellphone– maybe even extend your vacation indefinitely in the most terrifying penal colony El Salvador has to offer! Book now!”
Who would’ve thought that tourists don’t want to randomly be detained during their vacation
Is making BDS America a reality. OMG.
Europe is boycotting, China is divesting. Sanctions are next I guess.
Do self-inflicted sanctions count?
canada is boycotting too. I love it.
There’s no point in America’s history where the Statue of Liberty wasn’t a weirdly dystopian middle finger to actual immigrants but I imagine the irony is particularly obvious to would-be visitors now.
the irony is particularly obvious to
would-be visitorsnowWesterners
I imagine most global Southerners were already sharply aware; white Westerners are only upset cause now they’re being treated like brown people
we’re gonna be winning so much you’re gonna be tired of winning
Where the fuck does a tourist in America even go? It’s a shithole country
Unfortunately there are so many beautiful places I couldn’t begin to count them
they will be liberated from this evil nation because I could never recommend anyone spend any time in this cesspool of a country
the national parks system was p cool. I went to several out west and met some cool tourists from overseas. mostly the anglosphere.
I totally do not understand why anyone would visit the cities though. they are fucked.
like at best they get to go home with a story about how they saw the cops murder somebody or caught a glimpse of the opiate crisis. grimdark edgy vacation highlight. maybe something amusing like “I saw a guy eat 64 oz of steak”… like some real Dante’s Inferno type of travelogue.
Maybe I should stop arguing for aspects of the US lol, but again there’s so much amazing art and music especially from marginalized ppl in US cities, it just happens to be created in the middle of a decaying, shambling fascist empire so you should definitely stay the fuck away until the beast has stopped breathing.
I just hope the art and cool people survive outside of archaeological records
A lot of major cities have extensive art collections in museums. Chicago, New York, and DC have amazing stuff you won’t find collected together anywhere else. Rome, Tokyo, Mecca, Cairo, and Paris are like the holy sites of art. You can find all of them together in the US.
The Art Institute of Chicago is a favorite of mine and it’s full of beautiful & irreplaceable works from pretty much all eras of history. I would hate to see it all destroyed by this fucking devil country.
I have been told that New York City is great for shopping if you are into that sort of thing and has that kind of money.
if you are “into” shopping you belong in a re-education camp. greed and gluttony are vile.
Depends on what you like. Going by raw numbers, Disneyworld and various tourist traps in NY and LA. Outside of that you have a lot of beautiful natural wildlife that’s just nice to relax and admire.
The thing about USA is it’s not one thing. It is a very large place. You can talk to 1,000 different people with completely different experience and perspective on the country.
It’s more appropriate to discuss on a municipal/regional basis because similarities start to fall off after that, other than generic shared culture like McDonalds.
Mostly parks and wildlife ie the parts of the US that was taken care of through Indigenous stewardship and that the settlers haven’t completely ruined (although they try their hardest and are continuing to try).
eh, you can spend a day or two walking around NYC, there’s plenty of interesting stuff to see. just looking at the streets and buildings of any new city is always interesting. peoplewatching can be fun too.
and then there’s all the stuff you can do, like looking at looted egyptian stuff in the museum.
I’ll be impressed if this stays when a Dem gets into office
If it wasn’t humiliating us greatly in front of other Western countries it probably would
Good.
I’m so glad.
so many of the foreign tourists that come to america are the worst, most greedy, most selfish, richest scum from their countries. they are the people who love luxury brands and have never had to work a day in their lives, and think capitalism is awesome. they are the small minded bloodsuckers obsessed with being rich or famous over seeing justice for those who have suffered through their entire lives.
every tourist that is attracted to the disgusting image of america it sells around the world should be put in a gulag upon entering america, like capitalism-loving moths to the flame.
Hoggery really is a religion lmao.
They’re so married to capitalism they’re actually a net-negative for capitalism.
that’s not losing, that’s not-earning.
lol
