    This post doesn’t have that detail. I’m only critiquing the project based on the information at hand which you provided. If there is noise, it is because the resolution of the plan as detailed is allow you are going to only get noise as part of the discussion. I don’t know if the planning has been gotten to my discussion points yet.

    You had also said several times asking if I thought the African economists did their jobs competently. It sounds like an appeal to authority to not talk about what is known. I’m looking at this project as being planned by experts and I haven’t said anything to suggest otherwise. However, people can still critique experts.

      I know the post doesn’t have the details, hence it doesn’t really much make sense to make extrapolations you’re making based on the content of it. The post just says that Africa is building high speed rail, which I think is an interesting development. Whether there are going to be problems or not remains to be seen but to me this is clearly a positive development.

        It is a positive development, and it is good that they are looking at it from the continental point of view to ensure compatability between countries. Europe really dropped the ball on compatability.

        Nor does it support yours in meaningful ways?

        We inhabit many similar fora, we share many interests, but I keep running into you alienating people with uneven logic.

        Being called a tankie doesn’t help you. Or other causes.

              It’s so adorable that you actually spend your time following me around here. I’ve unlocked the pet troll achievement.

                I’m not following you around.

                You’re a ubiquitous troll in many of the communities I like. I now question if lemmy is actually for discourse because you’re always sitting on it.

                  You are following me around and making vapid comments that add nothing of substance to the discussion. That’s what trolling actually is. You appear to be upset that you’re exposed to opinions and views that come outside of the echo chamber you live in. That’s entirely a you problem.

                    I’m not following you. You are a ubiquitous, low effort troll. You are not representing causes in any persuasive way.

                    Your whole argument is the West and especially the US is bad. I’m sympathetic to many points, but you broad brush people, turn dismissive, condescending and just… mean.

                    Don’t call my stuff vapid when you’re posting vomit emoji and othe glib stuff at potential allies.

                    That’s the thing. All you see are enemies. All you make are enemies. You’re safe hiding on a server that disallows downvotes but you’re pissing people off - because you keep lashing out and trolling.

                    Groups I’d enjoy, you’re killing the vibe and the discussion. We have similar interests but you’ve never considered it. I was a bad person for being born in the US from the first time we talked.

                    I’m not the topic, here.
