The Passport Pill- 5 Uncomfortable Truths For Men

Tucker Carlson is getting passport pilled right before our eyes. As any expat knows, life abroad is fun, dynamic, and often more affordable then when compared to good ole America.

When I lived in Vietnam I was working from lovely cafes, going out with friends, drinking great beer from all the local micro breweries and driving a motorbike around Saigon with some cute Vietnamese girl on the back.

If you're not aware, Tucker has been posting videos showing super markets in Russia, the beautifully designed subways system that has no vagrants, drugs or graffiti and how well the city of Moscow is maintained overall.

People actually take care of their city and have respect.

You also don't have to spend $400 a week on groceries.

Aren't we supposed to be the best country in the world?

I think this is his point because the United States I grew up in was safe, affordable, forward thinking and leading in technology. We're now running on fumes so to speak, living off a reputation built by greater men from the past.

We're a country in obvious decay (hopefully temporary) unless we have competent leadership and move to a Bitcoin standard asap.

Critics say Tucker is promoting Putin, he's a pawn of the regime and perhaps even a borderline traitor for daring to say Russia is not some 3rd world hell hole.

I've never been to Russia (yet), I have no idea what it's like. But I've heard the same criticisms of other countries as well.

I think Tuckers goal is more out of sadness and disappointment at the trajectory the USA seems to be on.

If Russia can do it, so can we!

Really?

That's where things have gotten to?

Welcome to the passport pill

For anyone who's been an expat for any length of time knows, they're just rolling their eyes at both Tucker Carlson and his uninformed critics.

Yes, Mexico City is quite lovely, so is Vietnam, Thailand, Cebu in the Philippines as well as eastern Europe.

Places outside of western Europe and and the United States are again, not some 3rd world place where everyone is living in mud huts.

Do they even have internet in Bangkok?

I heard a kid working at a grocery store say this to his colleagues while stacking shelves (no idea why they were talking about Thailand) when I was visiting family in beautiful Rhode Island (underrated state, I call it boomer Rhode Island because there are a lack of jobs there, just old retired people living off a pension there).

Yea kid, because Wakefield Rhode Island is the place to be.

Bangkok has internet, beautiful girls, world class malls and night clubs, luxury high rise condos and an affordable living standard. It's not perfect, no place is, but don't assume Thailand is poor.

For the life of me, for the last 10+ years, this has easily been the most annoying commentary about other countries outside of the United States.

Let's get to five uncomfortable truths people who don't travel need to realize.
