Really makes you think!

well...yeah it is...
I'd love to go visit a bunch of places in the world but a plane ticket is thousands of dollars and shit.

I read that article and other than the author shoving in the obligatory "colored and fags are more oppressed by this than anyone else!" line, it was correct that poor people don't travel. As a poor-ish white guy I can agree that my vacation days are just me staying at home playing video games because fuck spending all that money just to see a beach.

>a plane ticket is thousands of dollars and shit.
How so? I'm definitely not a richfag (or a poorfag for that matter), and I still get to travel. Sure, if you're in the US, you might wanna do a few tours within that country (lots to see). But a non-stop to London, Paris or any other major European airport is surely below a grand. From there you've got quite a bit to explore via cheap airlines.

This

. Upward mobility is insanely easy. The market is free, school is accessible to everyone, investing is simple and accessible, and well paying jobs are numerous. And Loan and grants are easily acquired by poor people.

And if you live in the Goddamn United States you have 9.6 million square kilometers of an entire fucking country filled to the brim with national parks and exciting vacation spots and scenery that you can go to whenever you fucking want for however long you fucking want absolutely free.

I go to Shawnee National Forest three times a year and camp out. It costs me a total of $80 to get there in my gigantic truck.

Do some dispersed camping, never pay a dime. It's extremely fun. And it's cheap.

Second this, poorish single white guy isn't taking any exotic vacations anytime soon.

>putting an -ist or -ism behind something makes it legit by default

Yeah well, you know what all of you people are? You're all viveists. You all engage in viveism, which is the bigotry against dead people.

Did you know that dead people can't even vote? Did you know that their rights are constantly being trampled on, sometimes literally, because we put them in the ground? Did you know that we don't even ask for consent before we put a corpse into the ground?

You know what that means? That means all corpse have been raped, at least once. They've been groundraped. And all because of your hatred against dead people.

So stop being so viveist. Check your living privilege

Same, except I qualify as middle class but in a lot of debt.

yeah but I want to go to the Vatican and other old-as-fuck European cities and see the architecture and art.

There's a difference going to the local state park and "backpacking through europe for a year after highschool to 'find-myself' " levels of spoiled yuppie bullshit.

Cultural Marxism = everyone should be as shitty and miserable and awful as me.

My disabled mom saved up extra money for a year to take her trip to Europe to see my sister.
Niggers just can't manage their money

>traveled in Europe for 8 months
>traveled most of North America

GET THOSE CREDIT CARD SIGN UP BONUSES SENPAI, GET THOSE FREE FLIGHTS NIGGAS, I'M NOT MAD BUT MY KEYBOARD IS FUCKED UP

Yep.

This is how you cornhole liberal college kids telling you about their degrees and their 'world travels' and showing you sailor tattoos from their cruise line vacations to Europe and South America.

Slap an "ist" on it and slap it on 'em. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.

I backpacked across the river to river trail after high school. Just me, alone. It was the "find-myself" yippie bullshit too, and I'm glad I did it.

Just save up. $5/day for two years would be more than enough to do what you want to do.

>find a couple frie ds willing to travel
>pack food
>get tent
>everyone pitches in for gas
>drive 10 hours til innawoods
>camp

>take train
>see countryside
>hit up locals, banter for food and company
>return home on designated day
expenditure for a month of travel: whopping $1000

wow, so rich, im such a high class citizen wow

fuck classists. stop coming up with excuses for why you cant do something, and just figure out how to do what you want.

If it stops rich white libshit kids from talking about how everyone should "experience" Mexico or India or whatever third world shithole where they stayed in a resort I'm down. Traveling, especially the kind that hipster kids like, is something that's off limits to those of us without trust funds, that's just common sense.

>he cant even save up $2k to go to a not shithole resort
>talks shit about resortfags

>classist

Why won't they stop? They keep classifying every single damn thing with their stupid isms and ists.

i fucking hate travelfags, wow, you spent a thousand euros to spend one fucking week in some random shitty place being rushed from place to place, fuck off nobody cares.

you know why people push tourism so much? because many trash countries(like mine) would literally die if no one travelled. its literally something pushed by jews on you

Traveling is pretty enriching, but I agree that it has turned for some into a social media competition to see who has spent 5 months exploring the street foods of Thailand.

>I sit back, sip my coffee, and think about every time I’ve been asked, “Oh, have you been [place]?”
>I picture all of those “places I’ve visited” maps that go around on the Internet every so often. Sometimes, I fill them out myself, notice how sad they look, and ultimately decide with embarrassment not to share them on social media.

average western proletarian right there

i hope these people experience venezuela-tier socialism one day
