As opposed to what? Roaming tribes of mongols, and castles where you couldnt leave if the king didn’t let you?
What did you think happened if you left your tribe in hunter gatherer tribes? You got eaten by a jaguar on the next tree, or you starved.
What romantic notion do you hold of the world before visas and passports?
- silverpepsi 3y agoFair enough. To be specific, as opposed to immediately before passports were invented I imagine it was similar to what it was like: 1. Before police patrolled in America 2. Before driver's licenses (you can still experience this in Cambodia, low CC scooters don't require a license) 3. Before tattoo artists needed a medical license in Japan and Korea Ya know, liberty and basic rights that have now been abrogated to such a degree that the herd not only doesn't remember what they were like, but actually questions the validity of even being that "free". (Populations like China tend to think a central authority not controlling speech is absurd too.)
