Imagine traveling from your imperialist safe haven and trying to bargain some local down from a dollar and fifty cents after they put your ugly ass up in their home.
It fucking floors me every time I read stuff on travel that’s usually written by westerners (not necessarily anglos, though I am unfortunately one) on some poorer places, and people write about how to avoid scams and avoid overpaying, but then you run the conversion to the local currency and it’s like a fucking dollar at the most. Absolutely no skin off the traveler’s back, but can mean a good day’s wages for whoever’s involved. Fucking wild.
my favorite thing is that Canadian guy who went to an ayahuasca retreat and killed the elder who ran the ceremony (an 89 year old woman, lol) and then his family/govt got mad when the locals rightfully lynched and killed him in retaliation
Anglos legit think they’re gods
Anglos behave badly and condescend wherever they go. They think the world belongs to them and is made for their convenience, and throw hissy fits if they actually face consequences for their shit.
