Sure, everybody complains. But, half the passengers are complaining about the non-white people on the train. They think the train is going to run off the rails, but it's because only rural white christian uneducated people know how to ride a train properly. If someone tried to rush the conductor, these passengers would pull out their own guns and shoot them down long before they got near the conductor.
Im pretty sure I saw that movie
Snowpiercer, right?
The sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Pretty sure that's what was being referenced, but Bullet Train might also fit.
That's my assumption.
I think it was called "The Train That Couldn't Slow Down".
Where does the shoe go, again?
I thought Jennifer Connelly was the train manager
in the TV show
Whining and bitching is the most American thing you can do. It often means that you see something that can be improved, and democracy is supposed to be about eternal vigilance.
Being proud of your country should mean being proud not of our current laws, but of the constitution that allows us to fix those laws when they are deficient.
What if it doesn't allow that? Asking for a friend.
If the government still recognizes the authority of the constitution, then you can fix the constitution via amendments.
Otherwise, it would be time for a new constitution. But of course, in that case, there would truly be nothing to be proud of. It would mean your entire country and government was a complete failure, and that whatever new constitution you ratified would have to make many provisions to protect the government from the overwhelming stupidity of the citizens.
I feel in the US we are closer to scenario two. Sure, it's theoretically possible to modify the constitution but people have been trying to decades and the level of political consensus required is quite extreme.
You get as many people in the baggage car as you can to coordinate throwing their weight against one side and derail the train. Choo choo motherfuckers.
Strange argument. Not only should it be really obvious by now that your constitution isn't helping you guys "fix those laws," but you're also saying that people who live in a society without a constitution shouldn't be proud of their country. Now, as not-an-ultranationalist I do agree that people shouldn't be "proud of their country," but it's certainly possible to offer a better justification of that position.
