If you don’t know less than 50% of Americans have a passport. The ones who don’t, I really see the limitation in their thinking. They never saw that most of the world is in fact freer than them, has a better system in place for their people, and doesn’t have some of the major problems that America has. I’m currently in a country where over 90% of items are made in that country. America (made in China) can’t comprehend this efficiency. P.S. I’m American

The thing that gets me though is how dangerous many Americans say other parts of the world is without having ever been there lol. I travel and I’ll tell you America is the MOST dangerous country outside of warzones. Yes even more dangerous that Arab countries for women. Lol I know that propaganda is in a lot of Americans minds.

OK so who’s actually been outside the country and can talk geopolitics and actually know from experience what they are talking about?

    Yes but lots of non-American readers see this post. So your wording is still a bit specific.

    Americans: Have you ever traveled outside of America?

    Would have made more sense.

      In order to travel outside of America, you have to be inside of America. The people who really need to understand will surely understand the Americans. What you’re saying isn’t incorrect though. I’m just not going to change it.
