  • If the tracks are used as the wires

    They're not. Swiss rails are extra made so that you can walk over them. All electricity goes overhead for security reasons. If anything, they would probably tap into this overhead-grid.

    cleaning & maintenance

    possibly. But I can very easily imagine specialized trains cleaning them once every day

    vandalism

    not really a problem here in switzerland

    modifying the track to limit the conductive paths (assuming they’re used for this).

    They're most likely not used for this. All electricity is overhead for security reasons, routing solar energy through the rails would destroy that. Doing that (beyond the 100m test-track) would mean a prolongued political discussion.

  • their governments suck.

    I know a lot of Iranians that strongly disagree with what their government does. Same with Israel, where there are open protests. (just because Iran doesn't have protests doesn't mean they agree with it, they just live in a dictatorship and don't want to go to prison).

    but yeah, I 100% agree with you

    And I am confused who would disagree with you (seeing that one downvote lol)

  • If it didn't have negative repercussions for others I would encourage you and then laugh in your face when Trump wins.

    But since it does have repercussions for others:

    Please don't actually do that. I know that your voting system is unsatisfying and I know that you don't want to participate in it anymore. I know that the large parties are profitting from it disproportionately and people are forced to vote for people that they don't really want in power, just to stop someone else.

    I understand all that. But please also understand that the stakes of these Elections could be the highest stakes of any election during your lifetime.

    I understand that this is unsatisfying and undesirable. But please, like often said, "don't waste your vote". I just want to give you a small annectote: Pacifists are always noble. They always deserve to be praised. But that doesn't mean that they're always doing the right thing. Hitler was very fond of french, russian and US-American pacifists.

    I don't think that you're a fascist. But I do know that you're doing exactly what the fascists want you to do.
