i mean... i would like to go to europe, but where on earth do i find the time off work and the money to do it?

that americans are not better traveled is not entirely the fault of their attitudes. it's easier for your average european to travel internationally for a number if reasons, both practical and systemic.

edit - for many americans, international travel is a privilege.

You're right, it is a great privilege. I've never left the U.S. either. But I'm also not a fucking dumbass MURICAMAN that thinks a $5000 bill for a broken arm and 3 sick days a year is something to be grateful for.

I'm able to see that my country is super fucked up and that mlst of Europe seem to do most things better.
