If you're serious about advocating such a birthright, I'd suggest you start by enabling and encouraging everyone on Earth to travel to outside their country even once. It's surprising how many people haven't, even in the US[0] and Europe [1].

- Tepix 5y agoIt's remarkable to see such similar numbers (40% vs 37%). I had imagined there'd be a much greater difference. In Germany only 18% of those asked had never left the country. That includes young people of course who will probably travel to other countries in the future.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y ago> In Germany only 18% of those asked had never left the country. I think comparing "left the country" between US and Europe doesn't make much sense. While the cultural differences between countries are obviously bigger, distance-wise, "never left the country" in Europe is more akin to "never left the state" in the US.
