President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.
According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.
The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: “We believe in this.”
At the same time HSR could encourage social lives and urban neighborhoods that would encourage less conservative thinking. I think if we get into petty partisanship, it will just continue to spiral until we have a second civil war.
Please, no more… I can only get so erect.
Conservatism is a fucking scourge. We need to finish the job this time.
Are you really arguing for armed conflict in the United States?
Edit: a word
I am not. But since conservatives have been champing at the bit for years to severely oppress or exterminate the normal people, and since they give the normal people no choice in the matter but to defend our existence, the threat needs to be proactively stopped to minimize the loss of life.
I didn’t decide to be their enemy. In fact, I have turned the other cheek and politely ignored their aggression and threats for decades. And still, conservatives have decided that normal people are their enemy, despite us just trying to live our lives peacefully.
Throughout history, conservatives have always oppressed and killed their nation’s most vulnerable, peaceful people. That’s just who conservatives are at their core. What we are seeing today is that same story playing out again. Unchecked conservatism is loudly warning the normal people that it is coming for us. And conservatives are acting on those threats.
So, seeing what fate awaits me, and being told by them for a lifetime that I am their enemy, there seems to be no choice but to embrace the fight to have a chance to survive.
Fuck conservatives. They are doing this. They insist that the quiet, peaceful, thoughtful, vulnerable, normal people are their enemy. They did this and they have earned any ounce of pain their fight causes them. I only hope the other normal people will stand up and resist them as well. The fight is already under way. Most are just pretending everything is going to be OK. That’s deadly complacency for rest of us. Action is needed. Now.
So… you are advocating for a civil war. Just one that “your side” wins completely, this time. As if that’s a real possibility.
What action are you referring to, that you want from normal people?
I’m not advocating for it. I’m anticipating what conservatives have been demanding since the last one. The action I refer to is whatever is necessary to stop the threat.
I am not speaking a mysterious language here. You are “just asking questions” in a bad faith effort to search for some kind of gotcha moment. If history is our guide, the widespread stochastic terrorism and lynchings that will be at the heart of this new war, if it happens, will come from the right, not the left.
Conservatism is a plague of oppression and death. It always has been. We either marginalize it now or experience the violence that comes from unchecked conservatism.
Ok, I’ll just say it: calling for any kind of civil war is fucking stupid. And you’re saying you’re hard for one. Fuck you first wanting to kill people, you weird person.
That’s all I’m saying, no gotcha moment, you did that to yourself in the first fucking post. I agree with you about reactionaries, they’re a scourge. But fuck you for wanting them dead wholesale, which is your obvious call.
Conservatives in the U.S. have made it perfectly clear they will oppress and exterminate the normal people the very instant they are able. They are doing absolutely everything in their power to achieve that via government. If they should fail there, they openly plan to attempt to achieve their horrific goals by force.
Globally, conservatives have played this out time and time again. Now it’s playing out locally. I believe their threats and will treat them accordingly. Angry comments will not stop me or others like me. I plan to be prolific for as long as I am able. I would much rather have peace, but conservatism has never been stopped by pacifism.
I know many don’t take their threats as seriously as I do and will be angry with me. I’m fine with being hated for doing what I believe to be the right thing. The ball is in their court now, but we all know exactly what inhumane pieces of shit they are and can be sure they will do as they promise. Instead of being mad at strangers online, you should be preparing.
You really think the side which worships guns and survival would lose to the side with empathy?
I’m terrified of a second civil war because I know it means not just my own death, but the death of rational thought in the US.
We won last time. We didn’t finish the job, so they have been working toward a rematch ever since.
Yes they have. And we haven’t.
Both sides of the last one thought it would be over in one battle, and both sides believe the same thing again. I have terrible news how the first one went for both sides.
