They aren't windmills, they're the actual giants, so go forth and vanquish you valorous knight! We are legions of Sancho Panza.
Knights were basically police for rich owners in feudalism. Dont glorify them. AKAB.
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are cool though. Great parody of knighthood even if four centuries old.
: "Cities? Public transportation? That's for poor people!"
Oh man, I fucking wish.
me on my bike:
Tilt that windmill
But isn't the whole message that the windmills are an imagined problem not a real one like cars? Or am I missing a layer of this?
I think an alterative caption would be "what car infastructure advocates would have me believe (and how I sometimes feel)"
Dutch wind turbines are bad??
Did you heard about Don Quijote de la Mancha?
If you ban cars you need to offer excellent Switzerland-level public transportation. So maybe that’s what you need to focus on?
With good public transit infrastructure people will simply use cars less and less and that can make the eventual ban more palatable.
Fuck Cars
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.
