When tourism destroys the destination

Tourism is the consumption of other cultures. Why do you want to travel to some country? Because it is unique, because it is different because it is special. It's people are special and they have unique ways of doing things, unique language and unique dress. You are going there to look at them like you go to the zoo to look at the animals. The tourist is a cultural consumer.

But these animals know you are looking at them. You don't just see them, they see you. They see how you dress pretty soon they start dressing like you, talking like you, snapping pictures like you. The zoo animals have become the tourists. 

It is much more comfortable to be the one looking than the one looked at. The tourist is always more comfortable than the native, than the zoo animal. Imagine a parade of strangers who paid admission walking through your house gawking at you and taking pictures. Tourism destroys a place. 

A mall is a zoo where everyone is the animal and the spectator at the same time, and we all look at each other, we all look to see how each other are dressed, what each other are buying, and who is more fashionable. But in a fashion show the zoo animal walks the runway and because the spectator is seated rather than walking, and the zoo animal walking rather than seated, power is inverted. The zoo animal now dominates the spectator. A simple change in who gets to move freely changes the power dynamic. The zoo animal, by walking the runway, asserts dominance over the spectator who is obligated to sit quietly, remain silent, and watch. 

It is more comfortable to be the one in motion than the one who is forced to remain seated. Motion and gaze are freedom, sitting stationary and being observed are oppressive. This harkens back to fundamental instincts of prey and predator. 

Uniqueness is what is consumed, and blandness is what does the consuming. Femaleness is what is flashy, and maleness is what is drab. The act of going to a place makes the place like every other place, makes the place drab. By consuming the uniqueness of a culture tourism drains the culture of uniqueness, creating sameness everywhere. To invite tourism is to make yourself the zoo animal. 

Immigration is just a more permanent form of tourism. Motion is empowering while being stationary is disempowering and so being an immigrant is empowering over the natives, who are made powerless by the imposition of weird foreigners in their presence. They gaze at each other making each other uncomfortable, but only the immigrant is to blame for that situation.

When everyone immigrates and visits everywhere then everywhere will become like everywhere else and everywhere will become the same. When every place is both a source of tourism and a destination no more uniqueness will exist in the world and everything will be bland and globalist. When the tourism and immigration you all fetishize so much completes its process there will be nothing left to visit and everywhere will look like everywhere else.

The tourist and immigrant are destroying what they consume.
