    It’s the only way they’ve been taught to deal with things they disagree with/dislike/don’t know, understand/etc. Generations of terrible education and cultural insulation with these beliefs will do that. Travel abroad programs should be mandatory during some year of high school, and it should be federally funded.

      Unless the objective is to get them incarcerated in foreign prisons, then there’s some ground work which needs done before we get to mandatory travel abroad.

        I’d be fine with a remake of midnight express with MAGA chuds.

        Lmao

        Ok, I agree it’s ambitious, but I’m talking goals, not a plan for literally tomorrow.

        Nevermind abroad. A lot of them would do well just to get some actual exposure to larger cities in their own states.

        Part of the urban/rural divide is fueled by the pervasive belief that cities are lawless hellholes because they’ve never had real exposure to it.
