Tourism and Spectacle

[@emiliaz4685]

This one hurt. I was the cousin that left their country to go live in the US when I was 10. When I went back to Mexico as a 16 year old at a beachside hotel felt so ugly. All my friends and cousins were now completely different and I just spent the whole vacation wandering the beach alone. My dad has been denied a visa twice now and I’ve been slowly getting more and more estranged from him. They won’t let me see my family either😭Thank you for putting my feelings into words. This video was amazing thank you for making it and please keep creating.

_”To be a mass tourist, for me, is to become a pure late-date American: alien, ignorant, greedy for something you cannot ever have, disappointed in a way you can never admit. It is to spoil, by way of sheer ontology, the very unspoiledness you are there to experience. It is to impose yourself on places that in all non-economic ways would be better, realer, without you. It is, in lines and gridlock and transaction after transaction, to confront a dimension of yourself that is as inescapable as it is painful. As a tourist, you become economically significant but existentially loathsome, an insect on a dead thing.”_ - David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster and Other Essays

Hey man, I totally get you. I’m am American and America has killed my soul since the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. I have no health care despite making what should be a lot of money, I can barely get by. It’s not enough to go to the hospital for anything without being in permanent debt. I owe 100,000 for getting my master’s degree and can’t pay it at all. America sucks bro. Bad. I want to leave badly. You are not alone. Almost all my friends throughout life feel similarly.

[@sneedmando186]

Same, especially I hear stories like others in the comments, I am embarrassed, though I know I’ll never travel abroad like most Americans, I just don’t want to anyway, I see people post photos of cruises when there is poverty and pain just outside these resorts, I’m sure I deserve the guilt on some level, but I will not take part in this until we can act decent and not embarrass ourselves by being spoiled brats

I'm Brazilian, spent my whole childhood and adolescence dreaming about immigrating to the US. My father promised me, made sure I learnt English to ship me off as soon as I finished school, had a aunt living in Maryland that would take me. And then my father died when I was 16 years old. Even so... I got my passport and my visa, when I was in my 20's qand in college, I'd get my masters abroad, maybe a Phd, I had always been so smart, I gor into a top federal college, right? I burnt out, almost dropped out. I'm 31 now and I don't want it anymore, no US, no Europe, not to live there at least, but honestly it's hard to dream that I will ever even be able to afford being one of them evil tourists that shit all over our beaches and complain about our coffee.

I’m Jamaican and I’ve been watching your videos for a while I was so happy when you first mentioned that you were also Jamaican ahh I love your content please take care!

[@Ellert00]

Don't worry, us pale northern people get a dash of this too. I'm an Icelander who has been watching his country become a tourist attraction since the 2008 financial crisis. More and more locals are leaving the country as housing costs skyrocket and a few rich people rake in money from tourists while employing people at minimum wage. We (we as in those few rich) restrict new housing being built to preserve the value of our current "assets" while inviting more and more rich tourists to rent at rates far higher than the locals could ever pay. We put up posters that show 4x4 vehicles out in nature and then act shocked when tourists do come and tear up what little plant growth our island manages to have on this cold barren island with their huge off-road trucks. We funnel more and more money into the tourism industry while neglecting to pay our hospital staff watching the people who got educated here on taxpayer money move to Norway to get a living wage, and in a similar manner we neglect our day-cares and teachers who go on frequent strikes but there is always money to try to keep the blue lagoon running when it's literally surrounded by fresh lava from the 9 eruptions we've had in the last 4 years in the area of the lagoon. (You can even book a night at their hotel right now but we can't promise you won't wake up to the earth splitting beneath you cooking you alive.) We massively scale up our stores and fast food places to match the influx of tourists and then import workers from poorer countries to work for sub-minimum wage in customer facing jobs and then watch our old who grew up at a time where English was a language spoken by some people in far-off countries struggle to order meals or get assistance from workers who don't speak a word in Icelandic. But at least they speak English so they can serve the tourists. We import American holidays and start to neglect our own because the American holidays are more profitable, even ones that have nothing to do with Iceland like Black Friday and thanksgiving. But I feel a little hypocritical going on this tirade when I myself have gone on vacation in places like Tenerife and Japan. Island nations much like my own that have become tourism hot spots. I realize tourism isn't something that will be stopped, but I hope my country can learn to work around tourism better so the negative impacts of it are not felt as much. Tax the people who are currently hoarding all the profit more, stop restrictions on building apartments and get building at a massive scale, require Icelandic lessons for immigrant workers and pay for them with the taxmoney gathered from those few rich, stop trying to save dying places like the blue lagoon and focus on other national attractions, actually pay key workers like daycare workers and doctors a living wage and so on and so on.

97% of my genetic heritage is from Irish dirt farmers (3% German dirt farmers). 4 generations into the US and we have nothing, always had nothing, never will have anything more than nothing. My family is proud of it. I never had the illusion that the US is a good place despite how hard the media shoved it down my throat. I moved to Czechia, which despite being a post-Soviet nation is far more advanced and kind to the poor than the US has ever been, even in fantasy. I'm working my hardest to get perminant residence so I'm never ever at risk of going back.

While places like Jamaica has always been put to submission and fetishized, places like Italy, where I come from, are slowly turning into tourists commodities, and we are being indoctrinated that tourism is our future, while the best of us with our industries are going to the US. In Spider Man: Far From Home, I've seen how much they think of us and the rest of Europe as a place for vacation, while also thinking we are all a unified culture. I hate it, I feel like we are being prostituted, slowly but inevitably, as we lose importance and power.

Paris is cool. It’s annoying how much tourist trash there is but make no mistake it is beautiful. But go in the cold seasons. You don’t want to smell people’s sweat and other odours. But be prepared to see people living in tents. The architecture and parks are beautiful. I want to visit old cathedrals in France. If you like nature, maybe the Vosges mountains. So many beautiful forests. Switzerland is a jewel. I am blessed to have lived there a bit but I was a toddler haha

[@tsg_frank]

39:14 Relating to my own perspective, since you also brought up Italy, i can say that the same "brain drain" issue is one that's very prevalent here. Can't expect people to change their own circumstances when they don't have the resources and the willingness to do anything about them, if you're in a rural or small maladjusted area you go to the big metropolitan city and if you're already in the city, you move to the next country over. This is but alas, one of the many consequence of capitalism, probably. The fact that this isn't unique to any one country speaks to the unstable and unsustainable economical system by which we are ruled, and what are we capable of doing about it but seek a fantasy that will fulfill our needs. This video gives a lot in the way of personal matter, and i want to appreciate all of it, because it's an outlet, and it lets us find ourselves. I hope you can build and change your own environment as it stands, you make really great stuff either way. P.S. Fuck US Imperialism.

[@Crowz0xx]

Nothing is more upsetting than governments prioritizing foreign visitors over their own people. It’s like someone visiting your house and your parents give them your food, your bed, your life, any luxury that was once yours is sacrificed for your parents pride. The visitor is so impressed they give their money and tell all their friends about their wonderful experience. They want to see firsthand. Now nothing of that place belongs to you. Your parents have failed you in the name of pride and profit.

[@lauran.p.8319]

I have a similar situation as you, in that I cannot go to the US to visit my family, and also hate what they represent, and their downturn towards fascism and racism cannot be more obvious these days. Of course, they also rejected my visa in a similar fashion as you described. Your piece got me thinking as I'm currently in a mental state of wanting to leave my country (I'm in Ecuador).

[@SayisSpeakin]

Tensai I think it's possible a lot of your American viewers are first gen/ have parents and families from the global south and Caribbean. I'm the first person in my Dominican family to be born in the U.S. Trust me, I don't like this country either BUT I do love being from New York, its the only place that really feels like home. Growing up my family would frequently take me back to DR to visit my family in the country side, but there were also many instances where we would stay at vacation resorts, and even as a kid it bothered me seeing all the non Spanish speaking white people burning their skin red in the sun and gawking at my family's culture. Now as an adult when I go back I only stay with family, and I do local sight seeing that has less tourists. Growing up I had white friends who went on family vacations to Jamaica and the way they'd talk about their trips were kinda the catalyst for me to reexamine my relationship with DR and the idea of vacation. There's so many fun leisurely or exciting things to do just in NYC that I don't really feel any desire to go anywhere else unless its places with lots of museums or good food, but then again NYC has an abundance of both.

[@LINDA-de-J0NG]

This video stirred a lot. I was in Jamaica in 2015. Have you ever seen the film Life and Debt in Jamaica? The result of these IMF measures were tangible the entire two weeks I was there. All these people with more ideas than a goat can shit pellets, STUCK in an environment where ideas slam into walls due to my part of the world (EU) "doing its thing". Enshittification, the word, was invented for how apps destroy branches of business to be replaced by tech bro bullshit, but the principle has been international economics for decades. I hope with a fury Jamaica and any other nation in similar binds can find a way from under this financial colonialism and flourish. And I hope with equal fury you get to travel and discover to your heart's content. Blast Mr Perfect's Amerimaka for me, we'll jump in our rooms in our parts of the worlds together.

[@sonder4815]

Hi! What an excellent video! I'm so glad you made this video and began with the inherent contradiction of being Caribbean. I have complicated feelings regarding tourism and my homeland. I'm Puerto Rican. Once I was at the market with my aunt and this American white man gripped my arm, asking if this watch looked good on him. My aunt told me to just answer him and I snapped out answers hoping he would just stop fucking touching me, stop acting like he had a right to touch me. I didn't react. I wanted the seller to be able to get some money, and I wasn't about to fuck that up by cussing him out. But God did I hate it.

Interesting take about the ocean. I really felt the line "i care about working. i work too much and i just can't stop..", it's the same with most hobbys&projects of mine, that i develop an obsession over, compelled to finish what i started regardless of wether it brings me joy or not. While i don't care much for beaches, or swimming, i do care about diving, primarily in the ocean. (Apnoe, not scuba). From my early childhood on, being completely engulfed in water was the only thing that makes me feel truly at peace. (Not in a tub or lake with zero visibility tho, paradoxically i've always been afriaid of swimming in lakes while hard to get out of any body of water otherwise)

I was swimming in the tyrrenian sea twice. once was salty as all hell, the other at capri where it was actually nice. I enjoyed diving in and ghetting close to the bottom and turning around to look up throguth the surface of the water. But still, It's 35+ c outside, why in the name of all that is holy would you want to go and let yoruself be fried. I fried my back on Capri, 45 degrees C. Red skin on the back of my shoulders.

[@jordanklee3217]

55 on the dot. Impressive. Since I came back from work and travel I've been having more of these thoughts. When I came back I felt that great culture shock the travel sponsors were talking about. As I came back I felt that need to run back on that plane to a place that seemed like paradise even though I was working but it still felt freeing and different from what I was used to most of my life. Even though I've spent 20 years here in Jamaica, I felt like myself for the first time in the 3 months I was away. To this day I'm still adjusting and planning for the next work and travel trip. But that feeling had made me seem so detached to people I love and I hate how it makes me feel like I'm a bad person for wanting a better life. And the thing is I don't think that a good life can't be had in jamaica but you need money, resources things to do to have an enjoyable life. This was not to be a rant but your video just gave me stuff to think about.

Very funny that you pointed out your difficulty in figuring out your demographic, since scrolling through the comments you can see people relating with parts or even the whole video from all over the world. I come from Greece, I don't think we would be considered part of the global south. But all your observations about voyeuristic tourism, exploitation and ingrained cultural servitude to richer nations as in to masquerade as one of them and ESPECIALLY the beaches hit very close to home. Some days I hate the direction my country's heading at while also being disillusioned about a "better life" in another country. I'm sure things will only gets worse and it's very frustrating to know that you're privileged enough to worry about such issues instead of slaving away with two jobs etc. I don't think I will be able to solve my issues with my identity until my deathbed, but I know for sure that nothing will change, not about tourism, not about cultural hegemony not about economic hegemony, NOTHING will change. I wonder with the way climate change is going if even the beaches will remain for me to think about these things.

First of all… America is not a country. It’s a continent… Jamaica is in fact in America. When will people get it right? It’s the same exact thing with Africa. 🤦🤦🤦

I think it's common knowledge that when people refer to 'America' they mean USA. This is a language habit that literally majority of the world uses, and if anything just shows the 'usa centred' world we live in. And yes the same goes for Africa, commonly generalised as one unified place but unlike 'America' it's seen more as a victim than a saviour. Anyways calling the USA 'america' is socially correct even if it's geographically wrong.
