Iโm sharing this because it is some of the most vile Mein Kampf level #Antisemitism I have seen on Mastodon. Isnโt this place supposed to be better than that?
It is astounding to me how people who espouse Nazi beliefs can actually consider themselves anti-Nazi.
This is indistinguishable from Hitlerโs (yimakh shemo) perspective. If you lament that we โdidnโt learn our lessonโ from the Holocaust or if you, like this poster, consider the Holocaust to be some kind of preemptive justice against us, you are part of the โHitler was rightโ crowd even as you delude yourself that youโre anti-Nazi. We see through you. All youโre missing is a swastika armband.
@stevenbodzin Huh? In no way is this suggesting everyone go to Israel.
Itโs simply showing how many places Jews canโt go back to for those saying Israel shouldnโt exist.
Amtrak is far cleaner than flying where its tracks are electrified, along the Northeast Corridor, from Washington to Boston. But outside the Northeast, Amtrak trains run on diesel, a highly polluting fuel.
Whatโs more, Amtrakโs trains are decades old. (Its single-level Amfleet cars were built in the late 1970s.) Add to that generous seat pitches, large old-fashioned private rooms for longer-distance trains, a longer, winding route across the country and โper-passenger-mile emissions go through the roof,โ
Amtrak is still the more climate-friendly option for the vast majority of travelers, who on average travel 300 to 400 miles, A 2022 Department of Transportation study found that traveling by train from Los Angeles to San Diego generated less than half the emissions, per passenger, of flying, or driving. For Boston to New York, an electrified route, taking the train generated less than a fifth the emissions of flying or driving.
