Massive French protests on the horizon

[Olerand]

Against privatization; lukewarm on public investment.

so.....more or less trains?

The same. Maybe more.

Trains can't solve this anyway, there is no way the SNCF, even if it is committed to never making money, can effectively service all the around 36,500 communes that exist in Metropolitan France.

they can solve everything.

Are you aware of the French political party Rassemblement National? It is gaining a lot of support in France right now and is expected to gain tremendously in the European elections in May 2019. I don't think you are aware of the fact that what I am saying has a lot of traction amongst young and old Europeans.

Are you aware of Alain de Benoist? He is one of my favorite philosophers.

... Am I aware of the RN?

Yes. The RN does not support cutting down on welfare, nor is it against human rights. In fact, it might sue you for slander if you say it is...

Yes, I am also aware of Alain de Benoist. Let's keep your thoughts in the original quote out of France.

You wish, because you are bourgeois like the original French revolutionaries. Are you familiar with the Reign of Terror of the First French Republic and how liberalism destroyed France during that time period? France has gone through five different republics and they have all been complete failures.

I mean... There's some things higher on the ladder, no?

... Thank you for the far-right elementary history lesson of my own country.

Well of course. Making them smell nicer, improving the coffee at existing stations, those are both definitely as, if not more, important.

I meant non-train related. Though we do need investment in rail... They will never service all 36,550 communes.

Oh certainly not, not at the size and scope a rail line is.
However, the solution is obvious: trollies to take passengers to rail lines. If big train too big, use smaller train.
And come now, we can both agree the coffee at train and metro stations is just terrible.

Are the Germans paying us?

EDIT: Yes, the coffee is, in general, not good.

You're just so full of laughs, aren't you? You are making a laughing stock of France and I'm sure most people don't appreciate that. I gave you an elementary history lesson because it is obvious you don't care about your country or it's history.

It's because I care about my country that I oppose your views in the original quote. And thankfully, so does the RN. Publicly.

I mean you tell a german you want to build trains and the money is just gonna come rolling in
Don't that lot read train timetables as light reading

I like France, I really do, but good coffee has not been on any of its statements of human rights, and it is the country that really ought to, as the coffee elsewhere than train stations is usually quite good.

Honestly, if only the Germans would pay us... The things we could do...

Well... We never claimed coffee. Chocolate, food, pastries, libations, etc. But not coffee.

That you get coffee is a bonus, don't push your luck!

1. Are you a bourgeois socialist then if you don't support liberalism?

2. I never said that welfare should be abolished, I said that it was woefully inadequate at making people content with their lives.

I vote we all laugh at him and his lack of caring about trains.

Who's with me?

Well, as my signature says, I am a Socialist (with a capital S, a member of the Party, that is). I sympathize with socialism, but I'm more of a social democrat. Socialism is for the... world post grand soir.

Well, do you want it reduced? And maybe not, but it sure helps!

And still, the issue with human rights...

What! are you kidding?! French coffeemaking is prime coffeemaking. You know, there are countries that have instant coffee as their standard, instant.
Now everything else was mostly joke, but this statement is only half joke: proper coffee ought to be brought to instant-drinking barbarians by the end of the bayonet.

And you obviously don't care about trains, so who's the *real* laughingstock?

I vote we all laugh at him and his lack of caring about trains.

Who's with me?

The man must be ridiculed so the revolution may live

I don't disagree about the sentiment on instant coffee, not at all.

But do you really think... France... Coffee? I'm genuinely wondering now, I don't consider us as being coffee aficionados. The Italians sure, but us...

[Novus America]

Well of course. Making them smell nicer, improving the coffee at existing stations, those are both definitely as, if not more, important.

You even have coffee at your regular metro stations? Only our biggest train stations have much. At most you have no such facilities. Just a concrete platform and some automated ticket machines.

And as far as the smell maybe people should stop peeing on the trains (unless they have a toilet). That is just nasty.

Well I mean America... Public transportation... It's not fair to compare that to Europe... How about Lagos?

In all fairness it varies in America. Our public transportation is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, at least in many places. Sure it needs work, but several cities have very good public transportation. Of course many have almost none at all. It varies.

We actually have pretty good commuter rail in several cities. The DC commuter rail is good.
The trains are clean and have bathrooms so people do not pee on the floor.

Union Station is nice too. But most of the stations are very spartan. No coffee, but they get the job done.

Also we have learned trains should have linoleum floors and plastic seats. Carpet is a horrible idea.

For a country with no TGV (high-speed rail)! The audacity! High-speed rail as we define it, not you, that is.

Alright, how about Egypt? Can't even say China honestly, even they have a TGV.

Oh and the NYC Subway. I refuse to believe any good about American public transportation after that. I refuse.

Well, italy has great coffee, yeah, but there's 195 countries in the world and maybe 5 as a rule, rather than an exception. That makes you lot aficionado's.
You can get a decent coffee anywhere, sure, but in a place like France you can usually just expect it.

Surprisingly, some. It's not good, but it's god damn coffee. I'll take what I can get.
In all seriousness there are some parts of the paris metro that do frankly smell of piss, but ehh, I mean folks gotta piss somewhere and in big cities they'll all tend to piss in the same places.
Sure, my local city doesn't smell of piss, but that's probably not for lack of trying by its denizens. There just aren't enough of us pissing.

Oh. OK!

I'll be contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do they know we have a reputation in coffee? We can start an entire tourism campaign on this!
