I dont mean places that are like ragingly anticommunist (which is most places I think), but they have like appalling social issues. Say like UAE or any of the Gulf states that use slave labor and indentured servitude on a mass scale. Like would you say visiting dubai or doha is morally questionable? A friend is offering to visit Muscat cuz there are cheap flights but I dont know if I should. Or are there ways I can ameliorate my staying there, like maybe giving money to some orgs or something. Idk what do you think

    yeah I would say his situation is understandable, and if he has to go he might as well make the most of it. Its such a cliche but I've always enjoyed travelling; my dads job took us all around the world and I've had the bug ever since. I want to visit as many countries as I can but this desire has been tempered by my political awakening and increasing awareness of just how fucked up some places are. Figured I would ask for some advice

      I love traveling and used to travel a lot when I was younger, despite being poorer.
