Arguing with Americans who have never traveled outside the US is pointless

Very interesting to see the left right divide on travel.
There are people on the right who are in north Korea mode and genuinely believe every other country is trash compared to America. The knock on effect is that they accept a status quo that people in other countries would not.
The people on the left say others should travel because they've seen what happens when a country actually cares about the safety of its citizens and invests in things like infrastructure, healthcare, education, and science.
People should travel and see how others live and how others perceive the American lifestyle.

Facts
There's a whole lot of right and wrong to what he's saying.
"More people would be less ignorant if they traveled"
"You don't know shyt about life if you've never left America"
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, 100% facts.
Gaining a different perspective from going to different countries and assimilating (to a certain degree) truly changes how you see everything. It's akin to believing in a certain religion and then getting to experience what it's like living without that religion. It's jarring going from being in a constant patriotic state where your lens is nothing but red, white and blue, and then being free from that, you soon start to realize that all that shyt you've been conditioned by is all a mirage.
It's like if all you know is tipping culture and then you experience what is is to exist without it, you quickly become aware just how much you've been hoodwinked by it.
"You think you have it rough, but in reality you're in a country with the most opportunities."
Now, this is some straight-up, unadulterated, bootlicking ass nonsense, that depreciates his entire argument.

What a dumb argument. The idea that unless you've traveled outside the US, you're too ignorant to speak about your own struggles as a Black American, is completely stupid. Yes, people suffer in other countries, but that doesn't make injustice here any less valid. Traveling doesn't make someone more knowledgeable about systemic racism, inequality, or [lack of] opportunity, especially when they're facing in daily in this country. You don't need a passport to know oppression when you live it.
Claiming America is the only country where you can be yourself while ignoring the barriers we face is dishonest. Worse yet, he weaponizes poverty in African nations to gaslight Black Americans into silence by suggesting that their criticisms of injustice are invalid just because "others have it worse." That's a gross manipulation designed to guilt people into compliance while funneling them toward his hollow financial products.
This is just another Instagram "dream-selling" contrepreneur piece of shyt who gets rich by ripping off desperate people with overpriced courses and get-rich-quick schemes wrapped in fake wisdom.

Sounds like something a retarded white person who couldn't name 5 African countries would say.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
No it's not
So someone who has traveled to Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco has more right to speak on real than a nikka from Chicago who hasn't?
