These bishes have it so easy, they have to fish for shit like this to complain about. Talk about privilege! How privileged must your life be that this is one of your biggest concerns?
See Dusty, it's not really about this non-existent concern.
The sight of a man relaxedly taking up his space as if he owns it is hateful to these people. Because they can't believe these men are spreading out as if they don't realize that they are the problem, and what they need to do is shrink and disappear. Do you see?

Not just built the trains. Built the tracks. Powering the trains. Armies of engineers to build the tunnels, ensure their structural integrity and safety, formulate an emergency plan, hundreds of years of trial and error developing brake systems and railroad trucks, getting the trains to run a set schedule with respectable consistency and reliability.
Thedude, what you rightly see as man's achievement and glory is precisely what they feel is the problem: man building more and more "gadgets", taking up more and more space from "nature", imposing his will everywhere.
These men sitting at their ease on these moving machines designed and built by other men -- they are seen as monstrous, because they sit as if they haven't heard the news that it's time for us to stop, that there is to be no more growth and no more ever expanding ease, that the human being cannot just keep arrogating more and more power to itself as if there was nothing to stop it.
That's what is really going on here. Do you see?
same old shit, sixes and sevens Shaft...
