How about we ban or further limit international travel for every country? Starting especially with the USA?

[Anonymous]

Thanks to western influencers causing problems in countries like Korea and Japan, along with all the illegal migration problems, maybe it’s time for international travel banning for strict restrictions to be enforced out of respect for people in every nation. The USA should lead first in restricting its citizens to travel outside their country since we got the worst reputation as the obnoxious ugly Americans and everyone hates us. Limited cultural exchange might have to happen to not cause problems. Then the other countries should follow. Perhaps we should follow North Korea and isolate ourselves.

A complete ban on international travel would have massive economic, social, and cultural consequences. Tourism, global business, education, and scientific collaboration all rely on the free movement of people. Instead of isolation, promoting respectful travel, cultural sensitivity education, and responsible tourism policies could address the problems you mentioned without shutting down the world.

It would destroy society and the economy as we know it. Modern society is entirely reliant on fast and easy transit, communication and trade across national lines. Going back to a time before this would be more akin to something during the Bronze age which is also probably an indication of how unnatural this would be for humanity.

The US passport was once the most powerful in the world, allowing Visa-free entry to more nations than any other. It has now fallen out of the top ten.

So you want the United States to be a prison like North Korea?

Not necesarily. Just on the fact that they should not visit other countries unless they get a special permit from their government. I mean come on, why go to another country and cause problems to the residents there. Just by being there you’re already labeled as an ugly tourist. The people of the US are the most hated. No matter how bad other people from other countries behave, they will say “at least we’re not Americans” and they get excused. Just face it, Americans are hated by foreigners, either in or outside the country. Just saying hello or giving a glance is enough to make them uncomfortable or hate you. They hate Americans because of the stuff in the past they no one will ever get over.

"Just on the fact that they should not visit other countries unless they get a special permit from their government." -- that's the definition of a prison state. I spent six weeks in France this year. They don't hate Americans -- they were quite friendly. They know the MAGA-hats don't travel.

you want to destroy the economies of those little bitch ass countries who rely on American tourist dollars to survive, while they complain about how much we suck? I'd be alright with that I guess.
