Holy fuck put this in my fucking veins :faded:

These people should be milking the everloving fuck out of western tourists, they're the entire reason that their local economies have become completely reliant on tourism. Anyone who visits global south tourism areas and isn't overwhelmingly happy to pay above the literal cents these people are almost always asking for, or even the overcharged prices, needs the wall

:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:

Literally how fucking undignifying must it be to watch most of your community's local, culturally-important and historic professions disappear and be financially strong-armed into providing Service With A Smile to rich white people who treat you like a curiosity as though they're at a fucking zoo or adventure park

Edit: The documentary Sherpa is about a bunch of Sherpas working on Everest coming together, after a few of them die from being forced through unsafe working conditions, to say a resounding Fuck You to the rich white owners of the tourism companies and to cancel the rest of the 2015 climbing season. It's heartbreaking but I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The praxis payoff and sheer magnitude of rich tourist cope at the end is just :chefs-kiss:
