lmao 'better collaboration across european borders'

I mean we should always be working towards more progress but the EU has been collaborating in a peaceful manner never seen before in human history, and to hold EU citizenship gives you privilege over pretty much the entire rest of the world. Public infrastructure is super advanced compared to shitholes like the US.

I mostly agree with your points, but improvements are always good, no? You sound weirdly aggressive about this. I'm also European btw.

Not trying to be aggressive but I live in America where public services like that are rare and inefficient so it's annoying to see someone complain who is from the most developed place in the world. Nothing personal. and true that you should always be progressive

this is just the train version of the "you can't criticize x because children are starving in Africa"

I have a feeling they mean regarding rail specifically.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

European rail sucks - but not nearly as much as rail elsewhere in the world. Better doesn't mean good.
