So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale
unites the human race[…]
No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Their own right hand the chain must shiver
Bound of hatred, greed and fear
Before the thief will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
victory scars!

2·21 hours agoOn this regard I didn’t feel so much dysphoria inasmuch I did feel euphoria when I wore girly stuff, so it was more difficult to figure out, but nonetheless!

Where’s the corruption?
Again, that is a policy failure. Do not blame the public transit & pro-walkability/bicycleability organisations, but the car lobbies.
Also, c’mon, a car is more expensive to maintain - it impoverishes you more. You have to pay for petrol/electricity/hydrogen, have to face traffic jams and still focus during travel, find parking spots, waste a ton of your local currency on paying it off, and so on.
I understand it’s a situation people are stuck into in there but still, it’s an abject policy failure from elected corrupt politicians who are deep in petrol and asphalt’s pockets.
And there it hits again: the core of the issue is not the bus agency, but the lack of support for excellent public transit.
Build another car lane, it gets filled up immediately.
Build a bus lane, have buses drive regularly between areas of cities, connect cities with each other by train, and you’ll see it’s much better. Lack of bus lanes, bicycle lanes and paths, trains, is an abject policy failure caused by short-sighted capitalist lobbyists.
But yes, I don’t blame the agency nor you. I however do blame those politicians that claim “there’s not enough funding”. Yeah no, the cars get a lot of funding already. From building and renewing shittons of roads to building gigantic parking spots that heat up everyday in summer, car lease fraud schemes, and more.
What man needs, is much better public transit, actually walkable cities, and bicycle lanes. China can do it and that’s a big country. The EU can do it and that’s not even a country, but many relatively bourgeoise democratic countries that together are as big as the US. Switzerland can do it and that has mountaineous as fuck, rural areas.
Most people do live in cities, yes. I live in a town with like ‘only’ 20k people and yet there’s decent public transit.
Cars and their lobbies are the problem.
A few minutes in a traffic jam? Pah, that isn’t a traffic jam. They last for far longer.
I never need to wait an hour for a bus - at most it’s 20 min and that’s late in the evening. Buses also aren’t subject to traffic jams as they have their own bus lanes.
I think it’s a big sign of societal poverty when people are condemned to cars!
… buses don’t come hourly there. They come far more often. When they don’t come often, the cause is petro-oligarchs and car lobbyists trying to defund public transit by bribing politicians.
A car steals more time and money; having to look for a parking spot, having to focus constantly in traffic, literally indebting yourself to car subscriptions, and so on. Cars and anti-human, stroad-focused infrastructure are a cause of poverty.
Waiting for buses is not poverty. Being in traffic jams and stuck to using a car is, however.

Yeh, as soon as the API drama hit the fan, I left that as well. Came here and it feels home :)

Surveillance is bullshit.
