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
I'd agree with the OP except it still has a colonial character when I do it, even if I'm doing it "more correctly" than others.
The only exception to that I think is if you are a party or org member traveling on official business.
