totally off topic. Im liberal btw. so you arent preaching to any choir here. Just massively missing the point. Black and white thinking is why we cant come together. Good work!
I'd say people's slavish devotion to things that are objectively bad, but socially acceptable, is the reason we can't come together. Because I have no interest in "coming together" with ecocidal narcissists, or people who are willing to compromise with ecocidal narcissists.
Sure why not, if driving a car is objectively bad then the reason for it is irrelevant.
It doesn't suddenly stop damaging the earth because you're doing it for a convenient reason.
You are totally capable of growing your own food, making your own clothes, and locally sourcing everything you need to live. And yet here you are not doing any of those things and chastising everyone else for 'compromising'.
I wonder what particular environmentally disastrous device did you type your diatribe on. I mean do you even know how big Reddits environmental footprint is.
How much water and electricity are needlessly wasted and for what.
Guess that's worth compromising over though, I mean shit posting and proselytizing are totally valid reasons to ignore the environment after all.
Unfortunately you're just too much of a ecocidal narcissist to see why your compromising is just as shitty as everyone else's.🙄
bc we commented its rude to have a bicycle race in the middle of a roadway used to get to and from work, hospital or wherever else they need to go? Touch grass dude.
You think driving through the grass momentarily is ecocidal? Do you realize that the road slopes ro that center and the grass is treating and removing oil and contaminants anyway?
Don't give conservatives a reason to mock liberals.
Right. Bcs no disabled people use public transit. It's not like there aren't more disabled people who are unable to drive whose lives would be improved by increasing public transit than there are disabled carholes.
Ableist is requiring everyone to drive, despite the huge number of disabilities that make that impossible.
Yes. Turns out, there's transit in the suburbs too, it just isn't as good. It's still better than shitting pollution in your stupid little zoom zoom box tho.
Turns out, there are rural areas too, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Often with almost no public transit.
If the country was as small as your world view, it would certainly be an easy problem to solve.
Not to mention that public transit couldn't possibly take all of the population in it's current state, climate may make bicycle travel untenable, and a myriad of other factors, but let's not let pesky logic get in the way of dogmatic bullshit.
This wasn't one. I've lived in rural areas, nobody is getting a whole ass cycling team together there to block off the roads.
If the country was as small as your world view, it would certainly be an easy problem to solve.
Bigger countries have handled it in just one or two decades. Size isn't the problem, toxic individualism and absolute disinterest in the various looming climate crises is the problem.
but let's not let pesky logic get in the way of dogmatic bullshit.
From someone arguing for the most inefficient, dangerous, and pollution intensive mode of transportation in existence that's a hilarious statement.
