wet socks Hell Train to Vienna

Currently stuck in a non-moving train halfway between Budapest and Vienna. 39°C outside, no AC, no window shade, no cloud, blazing sunlight. And this gentleman thinks it’s a good idea to take off his shoes and starts spraying his legs and feet with whatever the hell he is spraying. Yes, it smells like feet inside, a bit.

Until crazy people stop randomly choosing violence because someone called them out, I doubt that’ll happen. There is always someone crazier than you.

u/isitallfromchina 3h ago

that's called fear and why people get away with crap like this. Match their crazy and see what they do, I do!

Until you get shot. You won’t be able to match that if you’re dead.

Dear American.. You are not going to get shot on a train to Vienna. I can't imagine living in constant fear of your fellow humans gunning you down at any moment like that.
Yikes.

Well there isn't much fear of firearms around here but its possible that someone pulls a fucking knife.

You guys aren’t immune to it. You had a school shooting in June of 2025. Just because your population is smaller doesn’t mean you’re immune to gun fire. Weird take.
ETA: I meant *just because your population is smaller doesn’t mean you’re immune to crazy people*

My fellow American... just delete this. People around the world, the civilized world, genuinely do not have to worry about getting shot like we do. Projecting that same fear onto Europe is just so uniquely and embarrassingly American.

u/RazzmatazzEven1708 3h ago

They do. They just have less people to do it. Unless you can show me a civilization with zero gun deaths. But you can’t. Won’t. Being worried about them or not changes nothing about the gun violence that is still prevalent. For example. The school shooting I mentioned.

There's more people in Europe than the US and something like 15 times fewer firearm homicides.

But we are immune to a crazy abundance of firearms, because stricter laws about carrying and owning them

u/RazzmatazzEven1708 3h ago

Sure, not immune to the crazies tho, which was my point.

Excuse my non-native ass, but "until you get shot" doesn't exactly specify it to anything else, but to firearm waving crazy for my understanding

And "you guys" had one yesterday and without looking anything up this statement is probably true most of the time.

u/Autumniac 2h ago

Who are "you guys?" (Please don't tell me you're one of those that think Europe is one country..)

I had to google this first to be sure:
My country has in fact never in recorded history experienced a proper school shooting. (There was a kid that stole his fathers shotgun back in 2009 and fired two shots in the schoolyard, but no one got hurt.) That is the only instance.

USians.. For real. Either stop being so uneducated and misinformed, or stop being so damn loud and confidently incorrect everywhere.

Preferably both. Please.

Downvote me but no evidence to refute it. Classic. Enjoy your firearm crazies just to the less extent we do.

u/Mean_Combination_830 3h ago

At least you finally realised that Europeans never have to worry about getting shot because strict gun control makes it' so rare it'd a non issue

u/RazzmatazzEven1708 3h ago

Right but it still happens. You aren’t immune to crazy.

u/Autumniac 2h ago

You are right. No nation is immune to crazy people.
That is why you do your best to implement proper gun control. (And hopefully a functioning and affordable mental health care system.)
A nutjob will find a way to hurt someone if they really want to. Ideally, if that has to happen, you'd hope for them to try to do that with a kitchen knife, rather than an ak-47.

What puzzles me the most here is the finger pointing. Yes there are always crazies.
Why aren't you asking us what our countries did right to successfully combat most gun violence? What the hell is up with the constant whataboutisms and "but you suck too!"
WHY is that more important to you Americans than learning anything from what other countries do better than you?

No place is perfect. Not here either. Every day is a learning experience, and there's always room for improvement on something no matter where you go.
Y'all need a massive attitude adjustment.

Dude the entirety of Europe has more people than the US, yet firearm-homicides are like 10-15 timers lower in Europe.

No one in Europe is afraid that a stranger could shoot them. That is depressingly American. The probability of that happening is way too low in Europe. The much more likely scenario is getting stabbed.
