News network @viceworldnews reported on a disturbing situation out of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. YouTuber Miles Routledge, a self-described "danger tourist," is one of three UK nationals currently being held captive by Taliban secret police.
Posting videos as "Lord Miles" on YouTube, Routledge sensationalizes his travel by visiting the most dangerous areas in the world "for fun." Many of his videos involve him traveling through destabilized or wartorn regions such as Ukraine, Kenya, and of course, Afghanistan, where he previously made a narrow escape from.

Agreed, R2. And it wasn't even the first time he'd been to Afghanistan. The article said he'd narrowly escaped once before (in addition to traveling to other dangerous places). Now, the Taliban will take his head, which he wasn't using to begin with.

[quote]Other videos on Mr Routledge’s channel show him attempting to sneak into the United States from Mexico and spending 48 hours homeless in New York City. In one video, he wears mediaeval armour to visit Snake island off the coast of Brazil which is populated by thousands of vipers and where visitors are banned. However he failed to spot a single snake during the outing.
What a twat. Hope the Taliban keep him.

I felt bad for him at first, but after watching a few of his videos, he's an alt-right dickhead. Fuck him.
I mean, I hope he's ok and everything. But he's not a great person.

Oof, and he's cute as well and gives off a homosexual vibe, sucks for him. Pretty sure that lily-white buss is gonna be ruined if/when he's rescued, the Taliban won't be able to restrain themselves from sampling it over and over again. They're savages like that.
Again, no one but himself to blame.

The truly sad thing is that now the British government will be forced to spend time and energy, and probably some diplomatic concessions, to get this little fuckwit out of prison. I say if Little Miss Danger thought it was cute to run into the bear's den, let the bears have her.

When I first saw the thread title, my immediate thought was "that's different. It's usually some British person who gets in harm's way by being somewhere they shouldn't be." Then I read further and saw it was indeed someone from the UK. You see that a lot with natural disasters in some god forsaken part of the world, where you think no Western person would be, but it turns out that British people were there. Talk about not accepting that the empire is over. Why do British people still travel to strange, dangerous and out of the way places? You have all of Europe on your doorstep to visit instead, for goodness sakes.

The British government advises against all travel to Afghanistan. I think anyone who disregards such clear warnings and travels to a country for "danger tourism" or to make social media content should not receive any assistance whatsoever. They are too arrogant and stupid to live.

From Vice: "Routledge is not the world’s most sympathetic figure. He has been posting about his experiences on 4chan, YouTube, and Twitter for years. Going into a country, acting like an asshole, and getting harassed by the local authorities is his entire brand. He has published videos about being arrested in Kenya, sneaking across the EU border, and cosplaying as a homeless person by living on the streets of New York City for a whopping 48 hours."
Fuck his stupid ass.

[quote] He joked that a previous trip to Afghanistan was for "networking with the Talibros" as he posted a photo of himself and members of the terrorist group, that has now captured him and charity medic Kevin Cornwell.
[quote] Routledge, a devout Christian, claimed that his second visit was an attempt to broker an arms deal between the terrorists group and the Ukrainian government.

I've been following him for about 2 years now on Twitter. He's always been a total dumb ass, but he somehow survived every adventure and he documented each one pretty well. He's a trad cath, and he's mentioned that he's looking for a virgin tradwife. He's anti gay, well, anti liberal to make things simple. I believe that he's still a virgin -- he must've given every girl he's met the "ick" -- so he goes on these expeditions to feel less insecure as a man. I think he might've gone to South Sudan as well recently.

Oh honey, he's no virgin anymore. He's been a pass around party bottom since they got him. Those horned up men have never tasted ginger pussy like his. He is already torn up! Instead of Lord Miles, he'll be known as Miles O'Cock around the pub. If he makes it out alive.

As an AI language model, I cannot provide current travel advice. However, it is important to note that Afghanistan has experienced significant political instability and ongoing conflict for many years. The security situation in the country remains volatile, with a high risk of terrorist attacks, kidnapping, and other violent crimes. Many governments around the world have issued travel advisories or warnings against traveling to Afghanistan.
If you are considering traveling to Afghanistan, it is recommended that you closely monitor the situation and seek the latest information and advice from your country's foreign affairs department or embassy in Afghanistan. You should also carefully consider the risks involved and take appropriate safety precautions if you do decide to travel.

There’s a community of competitive travellers on the internet. Others like him on YouTube are Drew Binsky and Indigo Traveller. There are ones that are pure ‘country counters’ racing around to basically set foot briefly in one place after another and then others that go more in depth or go for the ‘danger’ factor. Drew is the least assholish of the ones I’ve seen.
There are other groups like MTP (Most Travelled People) and Nomad Mania where members can sign up and track visiting 1500 ‘locations’ in the world. For perspective, there are 193 UN countries, so this list accounts sub national regions, islands, and geographic anomalies of various kinds. For example, Switzerland isn’t complete unless you visited every canton. Antarctica is divided into 10 regions if I recall. The people at the top of the list are mostly independently wealthy people who travel most of the year. They are overwhelmingly men. Some of these 1500 places are so inaccessible or off limits that members will chart yachts or pay to join research teams to get there. It’s very interesting to follow people, but it’s also very obsessive especially when spending huge resources and time to travel to a random remote rocky island with nothing but bird shit. It’s about the challenge and journey I guess.
