@ophiuchus I encourage you to go take a look. It's worth the knowledge gained and experience

@The Morrígan A friend of a couple years in my personal server

Ethnat pagan

Just go with the right people of course

@The Morrígan yeah going alone would be just. A bad idea.

Orania is nice to look at @ophiuchus

Nice people

I went alone. But I had a secured plan with connections at every stop @ophiuchus

Orania is really interesting. They have (or plan to have) their own currency as I understand.

Do not blame them for getting away from the Rand.

Yes, they DO have their own currency. I brought some back home. @ophiuchus

My grandfather went to South Africa back in the 70s. Very interesting stories.

Which part did he go? Do you remember? @ophiuchus

All through it. Mostly Johannesburg, also visited some place called Sun City out in the desert.

There is so much to dissect in a country like that. I can only say that it will broaden and sustain your perspectives

It makes you realize the dire necessities @ophiuchus

In everything that we do

And when I talk to people from other countries. . . Like my friends in London . . They have the same sense of urgency, nearly, as people in South Africa.

I think Americans will wait until the heat is so hot that they have no choice

Americans are comfortable. WE are comfortable

Anyone with a sock plz jump on this

I can certainly vouch for how dire the situation is in London

There are too many distractions right now for the majority of Americans to wake up

Beer, football, clubbing, etc.

Like Anam said, we are too comfortable

There are pockets in the US were the heat is hot but yet . . . We are still comfortable

Collectively comfortable. .

We are definitely too comfortable. Americans tend to be, by necessity to an extent, very insular. I almost wish it was required for high school students to travel abroad- to see the entire world isn’t like a cozy hometown in Nebraska, to recognize that ideas such as the prohibition of Central American immigration isn’t done out of cruelty, but necessity.

The thing is, I don’t think it’s the distractions. We don’t have one track minds, I’m studying several things and have multiple hobbies and I’m still up to date with news, and I’m an average woman.

It’s not distractions, it’s because they literally just don’t care. You could tell a lot of these people the world is ending and they wouldn’t blink. Their distractions aren’t “distractions”, it’s just that they have become so jaded and see such little value in culture and preservation that even cold hard facts can’t move them

I agree. Americans are at the lowest percentage compared to *most* countries to even own a passport. Someone told me the exact percentage but I was astounded. Americans dont travel as much as others in other countries do. @ophiuchus

I meant less “travel to almost exclusively white resort enclaves in the third world” and more “actually see how the rest of the world lives.”

Yes. No one wants to get out of their comfort zone and travel to South Africa. Crazy folks like me do that. 😂 @ophiuchus

I’ve met plenty of people who would be considered very well traveled judging by the stamps in their passport who spent nearly their entire time abroad in a Disneyland bubble of luxury.

Yes. I agree. But I'll have to find the statistics on the percentage of Americans who own passports

And I bet they felt sorry for those folks and gave donations ? 😂 @Nemets

Therein lies a huge problem

@Nemets so long as white people have anything then there is always more we could be giving to the third world!

I can attest to that. I know a girl who’s actually pretty well-versed in Liberian history who thinks we’re singularly to blame for all of that country’s woes.
