Their protest was actually funny too
Similar vibe to the HK ones in 2019, but there was no authoritarian police to crack down on it
The fact we're calling Nepal overthrowing their government and torching their parliament the "Gen Z Protest"
makes me really happy, the future is bright

I mean this with absolutely no hyperbole, I don't think people who take (American) public transit are human
You can find exceptions sure, the small number of areas where public busses/rail are actually done well, and normal people use them as well
but if you're genuinely getting on a public bus in most parts of America, or onto a city train, I think there is a fundamental otherness about you
we have one around here too
East coast has a lot of these city train things
American public transit being unsafe because only crazy people and blacks use it is crazy
I can't imagine not being safe on the bus, wild
There's just no reason to use it for normal people, so only the crazies use it
and that in turn normalizes them becoming dangerous and shitty
In America, we have cars, and if you're not destitute or crazy, you have a car
it's also not just about "not being safe"
the reason no one on the bus cares, is because they themselves are barely members of society
they have so clearly fallen through the cracks of society, they are reduced to taking the bus
If a car was not stupid overexpensive versus our alright bus system I'd have gotten a liscence
I think I'd be paying more for a parking spot at my building than I do for my yearly bus pass
My brother, when he was in his retard school for a brief stint at 13/14, had a public bus he could have taken home
but we had him take an uber every day instead, because normal people don't take the bus
crazy cultural issue
even old people around here, will have private shuttles for their housing complexes, rather than using public transit
it's not a rich vs poor thing either
if you have $2000, you get a car
everyone has a car
You could not get a car for 2k here
if you don't, something is wrong with you
no I know this is an America only thing
I don't hate the concept of public transit, but because a car is required in our society, there's no reason for public transit to exist. Full stop.
With how the US is set up, I agree
and again, ther eare execeptions
seems like a waste to set up trams etc that normal people won't use
college towns and such, where it's basically a student bus, but is *technically* public
