Fits perfectly with the general "fuck everyone else" nature of cars.
Of certain car owners.
Cars and car culture in general really. The owners are usually lovely people but it's their car that is polluting, getting in the way, injuring people, boiling the planet etc.
to be fair, car tailpipe pollution is the least of our concerns compared to the general production of garbage with total disregard to emissions.
it's why EVs won't really save us, but the car industry.
(you also forgot to mention the awful NOISE some of them subject us to, but i digress)
So the damage isn't in hitting people, but the overall effect on society. Cars require buildings be more spread out to accommodate wider roads with less space for bikes, pedestrians, and mass transit. Parking spreads out buildings even more. This promotes isolated, insular individuals instead of an actual community. There is such a massive difference in human health due to the base level stress that comes from living in a car-centric hellscape many obese people lose weight despite eating more when they leave America.
Chill the fuck out. Nobody here is blaming every individual for not waging a protracted peoples campaign against 4 wheeled vehicles, the start of this thread was 'the general “fuck everyone else” nature of cars.' due to the damaging effect they have on society
Once again, you're looking at a systemic issue and blaming individuals. That might make you feel good, but it's not useful for solving it.
Correct, your car is polluting, getting in the way, boiling the planet, and collectively, everyone's cars are injuring people.
Hey, I'm not involved in this conversation. Just wanted to let you know that you look like a huge idiot right now.
Did you actually read what I wrote? Try reading it again. Keep re-reading it until you get the concept that I am not hating anyone.
nope. of cars in general, at least in North America
too big, too offensive, too many resources
"Not all car owners"
