I don't know if this is bait or something you honestly believe. Either way, I laughed, just probably not in a way that you would approve of.
Thousands of years of history can lead one to believe that China's territorial ambitions will never be quenched. It either wants more land or more tributaries. If has the ability to actually achieve its aims vary between time and place though.

Perhaps that's just too cynical of an outlook to have though.
 
Look, I know you're doing the Washington Mao comparison for rhetorical effect and I understand why you'd make it.... BUT NEVER COMPARE A COMMIE TO AN AMERICAN FOUNDING FATHER. We are [pinches fingers] THIS CLOSE to America's 250th birthday, and I'll be damned if I let a faggot shitposter commit patriotic sacrilege.

I've been to all the nationalist stuff in Beijing and the reason I made the comparison is how painful it is to see regular Chinese people making their pilgrimage to honor their national heroes when we've been told to denigrate ours

also the big giant oil paintings of Mao super make him look like slanteye Washington
 
I will always shill for investing in railway transportation after visiting Japan that shit is insanely nice and convenient (Yes I'm aware they don't have a nigger problem like we do we can always do something to dissuade them from using it)
 
counterpoint: the USSR was a serious and expansionist ideological rival, China just wants to be China and be left alone to be China

This is kinda wrong Mao wanted to export the revolution to the third world, and do communism.

The USSR had an issue where they tried certain communistic ideas that really didnt work out. but it would not be the best look to be upfront about it.

The Sino Soviet split was wild.

The Chinese cany afford to sit at home they need to import food and energy, and they need the economic activity to give people work and to pay for food and energy.

Just like Iran and company their army isnt for fighting wars its for fighting their own people, and keeping the pary proped up and in power.
 
Bullshit. The California High-Speed Rail proves that if you try to do rail in any blue city/state is turns into a excuse to loot the program.

Red city/state government just ask "How much will this cost for the return value" and the answer never justifies it compared to just using cars and airplanes.
Florida actually delivered a form of transit high speed rail for middle and south Florida.

Its about to fail because no one uses it. But it actually is a real thing and got built.

Red states actually ship infrastructure. The treasury still gets looted but not full retard levels. Beaks get wet in Red States. In California they put a fucking house boat in.
 
Florida's Brightline is going bankrupt and it's not even really hsr (average speed 69mph.)
Its in bankruptcy due to having to payback creditors on loan its still running a profit even after costs.

Not enough people would go between these cities to fill a train. Busses would be much better.
Buses suck most of the time. Legitimately
being on a bus for more than 8 hours vs a train im choosing the train.

Literally don't let people board trains unless they have a proper fare. We can enforce security checks and even pay people living wages to enforce the system. Again when countries like mexico are vastly improving transit and leaving the based USA in the dust I think some things can change.
You really, really can't. The political will is just not there.
For rails and the other issue this has been the big issue. Republicans are happy to be tough on crime but they hear mass transit and scream socialism. Democrats love mass transit but dare you say we need security and safety and they accuse you of racism its all so tiresome.
 
probably? I am pretty sure 32/year would be a bad year for prime Trump
now that you mention that, it’s really surprising to me that more women don’t come out to say “I had trumpsex, he sucks, here’s my story.” I guess no one bothers unless you can frame it as a rape accusation.

I'm talking about how the CCP and PLA, not the Tang Dynasty or RotTK.
You might say that Communism/Maoism have changed the character of the ole middle kingdom a fair bit, if you were being honest, to say nothing of being a fucking nuclear power. I'm sure those ships the PLAN are pumping out are just for coast guard search and rescue and whale watching, right? PERFECTLY INNOCENT!

There are Chinese geneticists talking openly about how fucking easy it would be to wipe out whole countries and ethnicities with biowarfare and how they'd really kind of like to try that, but really, its fine. They're just joking, I'm sure.

Chicomms now openly and publicly look at those Jews that some folks like to sperg about and says "RYY NOT ME?"

They're a lot frisker and more ambitious, these days. Ask most of S.E. Asia, Africa, and some South American countries to a lesser extent. Both economically, and territorially, they have no problem transgressing into someone else's back yard to get what they want.

Hell, look at how much friction their fishing fleets have generated by routinely and regularly violating the territorial waters of most SE Asian countries and straight hoovering the entire fucking sea. I'm sure those other countries probably don't even really like fish anyway, right?
 
from what I've heard brightline isn't bad (at killing Florida Man OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH)
but the intracity rail and public transit often totally eats, like in Central FL there's a station like, a block from the big arena the Magic play out of and the concerts are at so it would make sense you park on the line near you, ride into downtown, and bam no parking issues
WHOOPS the train doesn't run in evenings :smug:
 
What, are you implying that blood eagles weren't a humane form of punishment?
While mowing earlier I realized that the Blood Eagles faction in Tribes was a reference to that blood eagle. I always tried to play on red team in Tribes: Ascend and the shit I got up to with a fusion mortar while going 120 kph was most certainly inhumane. I may have caused a balance patch.
 
The real reason to be against mass transit is why do things to help the bug hives? They dont vote based on what helps the city but what helps their ethnic enclave.

Why fund Democrat projects at all if you are an R? The days where you were benefitting your fellow whites are over. You dont win the browns over either.
 
that’s bc blacks are violent impulsive criminals you kike; in the rare case that a jew does a violent, impulsive crime, he can get lynched too (probably, like Leo Frank, a sex crime, on a child)
Take a good look at what's happening in the Middle East and how it has negatively affected every American. Then look back at your own statement.

They inherited the geography of their predecessors and the People's Republic of China did seize Tibet, which had been under the control of the Qing and then the Nationalist government prior to a short period of de facto independence. My point is that, Emperor or no Emperor, the cultural Sinocentrism of the Han state and people appears to remain.

k I did, I concluded we should lynch islams too, what point were you making?
Israel's war in the Middle East, and them getting the US to attack Iran, has utterly fucked the global trade system and negatively affected Americans of all stripes. When they look for a scapegoat, they'll be looking for the folks with round, black caps, especially since Israel encouraged America to attack in the first place.

And even before that, hell, even before the 2020s, your average right-wing nutjob already hated Jews. It was the Neocons and religious Protestants who liked them. The rest of the Right were either fiscal conservatives who wished the US wasn't joined at the hip with Israel, or they're outright white supremacists or Neo-Nazis who actively blame the Jews for everything wrong with the world.
 
Until they are willing to talk about the root cause of why no one wants to actually use masstransit the train autists might as well be talking about a monorail on the moon.
Never mind that the main proponents of these things mostly want them as a way to vicariously control people they don't like.
You really, really can't. The political will is just not there.
Public transit sucks so hard because the people who might pose reasonable solutions have long given up on it, and the people who have to utilize it or want it for others insist that it should be fucking miserable to use.
