America last

Regular 🇩🇪 silas@noauthority.social

I guess that’s a good thing to you though. Because Americans think free choice of method of transportation is communist.

@silas oh do they? I was kinda under the impression it was exact opposite

pat ThatCrazyDude@noauthority.social

@silas also, to kinda piss at your bullshit meme, here's the actual map of US railroads. And I don't believe it even includes suburban stuff

Regular 🇩🇪 silas@noauthority.social

@ThatCrazyDude yea and what amount of that is high speed passenger rail?

pat ThatCrazyDude@noauthority.social

@silas I have no idea. Probably not much. And that's probably because it makes no sense whatsoever when you have the population density of the US and you can just hop on a plane

The rail systems in China and Western Europe rely on high population densities but simply don't exist throughout most of the United States. In order to justify such rail systems in the United states, the population density of the country would have to rise by a factor of nearly 10. Actually doing that would bring about a huge ecological disaster, because much of the north American continent is already straining in a number of different critical resources such as water, and the amount of food production we could expect to see from the United States would drop catastrophically which would be a humanitarian disaster for huge swaths of the world.

When Europeans criticize Americans, they're continuing their long and storied history of trying to export their bad ideas mindlessly and end up killing a bunch of people in other continents. In the few cases that they were successful, they apologize for it later but obviously they don't feel sorry enough to stop trying to do it.

@sj_zero @silas I don't think you're fair here either. Just saying, man.

@sj_zero @ThatCrazyDude it’s a joke though come on

Up here we're in year 10 of Europeans exporting their stupid ideas. Our current prime minister was an EU citizen until a couple months ago and he's trying to implement the genocidal "who needs ICE cars anyway" policies that might make sense in western Europe, but is going to kill swaths of this country if implemented here.

I'm sick of it. Europeans don't know what the American continent is like. It isn't western Europe.

pat ThatCrazyDude@noauthority.social

@sj_zero @silas it's almost all true for the most part of Europeans. But only almost. You know, with one provision: Europeans don't export their bullshit. It's the American liberals who drag that stuff in. I mean, it's not like any European nations ever tells tye US how the US citizens should live their lives. Just don't buy bullshit like fuckin' Obama or Biden and you're good.

I'm more expressing general frustration given what's happening here, it isn't a personal attack on you.

Unfortunately, anyone with three quarters of a brain in Canada leaves (apparently I'm stuck at half a brain) so we end up with someone like former bank of England chair Mark Carney as head of government, and he brings back all his euro retardation with him.

Americans would love to use public transport, but there's one reason why they can't. Everybody knows it and nobody is supposed to say it out loud.

@sj_zero @ThatCrazyDude @silas I'd like to say the USA or at least what still functions in that fashion would benefit from restructuring farmi g to a smaller customer base, such as only white majority recipients Euro/nippon, etc. No india, or negroid nations.
