International travel is a privacy nightmare these days - eviltoast

Recently traveled abroad and was shocked at how dystopian moving through borders is anymore. Scans after scans of passports, fingerprinting, face scans, questions about intentions for visiting, paperwork, cameras throughout airports that are surely doing untold amounts of biometric analysis with some bullshit AI…in some of these places you get laughed at if you ask about opting out. It almost isn’t worth it.

    Travel is a scam, I can collapse the foreign nation state from the comfort of my bedroom. Just tell them you’re going to their shitty disney land, bring a fake digital life and a fake phone while crossing the border. It’s not hard to look like a normie as long as you’re fat and white.

    Really you have to question why you’re going there, it probably could have been an email.

    Is it marketing brain rot telling you to travel across our dying planet ? Just visit it through Wikipedia. The real thing will be a disappointment anyway.
