Authoritarianism, Intentional Travel & Global Resistance
Travel isn’t just about ticking off bucket list destinations.
It’s about shaping the kind of world we want to live in because how and where we spend our money truly matters. Our choices as travelers influence economies, local communities, and governments, often more than we realize.
That’s why there’s a politics section on this solo travel blog.
Every trip you take is, in some way, a political act.
When you decide where to go, how you spend, and what stories you share, you’re not just supporting a destination – you’re also reinforcing its systems, leadership, and values.
So this space on the blog is dedicated to exploring how travel, politics, and personal choice intersect. It will help you to stay aware, be intentional, and feel empowered to defend democracy, equality, and human rights at home and abroad.
Travel is one of the most powerful ways to vote with your passport, your money, and your principles – especially when done collectively.
When it comes to standing up to oppression, racism, patriarchy, and authoritarianism, every traveler’s voice counts.
Being Informed And Fighting Back Matters
Around the world, far-right extremism is spreading. It’s fueled by powerful men pushing ideologies that threaten human rights and global democracy.
We’re witnessing a surge in anti-women, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant, and anti-trans policies. Christian Nationalism, techno-fascism, and attacks on our freedom and civil liberties is a growing concern.
Our basic rights are under assault.
In the United States, a fascist regime led by a dictator mirroring Hitler and backed by Christian Nationalists (aka white supremacists) and tech billionaires is reshaping society in deeply dangerous ways. Those threats don’t stop at America’s borders. Similar far-right movements are rising in Europe, Canada, and beyond.
History shows us what happens when religion and government intertwine: the loss of rights, persecution of minorities, widespread hatred, and the eventual collapse of free societies.
The Biggest Threat In America Is White Supremacy & Christian Nationalism
Christian Nationalism, white supremacists, and the dystopian ambitions from tech billionaires have long been downplayed – largely because the perpetrators are white men. Their plans and goals have also sounded too extreme to believe because they are so horrific. I once thought the same.
Even Project 2025 – Trump and the Republican Party roadmap for authoritarian control – once seemed too nightmarish to take seriously. Yet nearly half of its 900-page dominionist-meets-techno-fascist blueprint has already been implemented. When complete America will be a third world country mirroring Nazi Germany and Gilead (Handmaid’s Tale).
From Christian Nationalists ‘Seven Mountain Mandate’ to Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel’s techno-dystopian goals, none of it is speculation. It’s happening now. Most Americans remain unaware. That’s deliberate.
Authoritarian regimes depend on ignorance, distraction and polarization to consolidate power. They can only succeed fully when the people do not know what they are doing.
This transformation has been unfolding for over forty years—slowly enough that many people haven’t noticed it. But it could already be taking shape where you live too.
Fascism & Authoritarianism

Christian Nationalists & White Supremacy
What It Is, How It Works, And Why It Matters
Christian nationalism and white supremacy aren’t fringe ideas or separate movements. They are an organized political force with real influence on law, culture, and government.
Learn what these movements are, what they believe, their policy goals, and how these beliefs shape legislation, education, reproductive rights, and immigration and why women, minorities, and democracy itself are always among the first targets. This is where you can better understand Project 2025 and the conservative christian agenda.
Meet the men and women driving the agenda, and how their presence has grown within Trump’s administration since 2015.
“When fascism comes to America, it won’t be wearing jackboots. It will be wrapped in the stars and stripes and carrying a Bible.”
