This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Doesn't change the fact that they ever decided to donate to them in the first place. Some things you just don't get to come back from; sucks to be you.
Reminds me of a joke:
So they shouldn't bother trying to fix the errors of their ways?
What ever happened to the free market deciding? I thought the whole point of capitalism is that if you do awful things your business dies?
They should have lost all of their customers the moment the public found out what they were doing. Some of us aren't going back to such a business.
The whole point of capitalism is to whore out our humanity for money while trying to outrun entropy.
I'm aware that's how it works in practice. I'm saying that even by conservative, capitalist idealism they should have been shut down for being bigots.
Did you miss the fact that the free market did in fact decide on this case? The market decided their business would succeed wildly.
You're missing my point. I am saying that the "free market shall decide" is enough justification to boycott them, regardless of how long ago they were doing shitty things.
They should be punished by being stripped of their corporate charter and dissolved. That what you wanted to hear?
Since we're already splitting hairs and crap like that around here I'd like to point out that it does not, in fact, suck to be Chick-fil-A. They're raking in billions and don't give a rat's ass.
Also yes, dissolve the company. ...... But gimme their weird chickeny pickle sandwiches and nugget-things because for some reason I like them 😰 Won't buy them for myself though.
If every pro-LGBT person was like you, then stopping those donations would have accomplished nothing for them and they might as well have kept doing it.
What are you talking about? I didn't want to just not give them credit for changing; I wanted to destroy them for having committed the offense in the first place.
Corporations are not people. Corporations do not have freedom of speech. Incorporation is a privilege, and when that privilege is abused to spread hate, it should be revoked.
