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?

    The only traveling I’ve done outside of the US was to Canada, very briefly.

    What countries are most friendly to a vegan lifestyle? Which ones are most walkable and bikeable?

      In Belgium we hired bicycles at the railway station at Ypres, biked around the countryside all day, then dropped them off and got the train back to Brussels.

      As for the Netherlands… this is a typical railway station bike park.

      Unfortunately most humans have been duped. So India for instance would be an answer that someone might give but they only have about 9% as vegans. That’s terrible because every other country gets lower in their percentage. As for biking I’m not sure I haven’t biked in years

        I’ve heard a little bit about India having their own issues regarding animal rights. 9% is still a lot better than 1% though.

        Biking is my freedom, which means I’m very unfree.

        Although they use milk, they consider egg a meat. They treat their cows like gods, so if you’re vegan only for the reasons of animal suffering then I’d argue being vegetarian in India is philosophically identical
