    Spoken like a true ableist. Fuck the blind, fuck the old, fuck kids. You want cars!

    You can have one lane roads and a paid underground Mr fuck everyone that can drive. Cars take too much space and kill too many people.

    Go visit a developed city, like Munich, see how even 70+ old can live perfectly well without using a car. They got carts to carry shit and good sidewalks.

      They take up space because HUMANS TAKE UP SPACE. You tend to think of cars as automatons. This is your fucking fascist bent, right here. You dehumanize cars as something horrible and anti-human when it’s human beings who drive them and benefit from them. Gives them FREEDOM. ACCESS. RIGHTS.

      Just because you look at a small section of healthy 70+ year olds doesn’t invalidate my point. “Look at these happy brown hair blue eyed white people, they’re not being oppressed in Nazi Germany! What are you complaining about?”

      Fascists.

        I can’t “dehumanize cars”, cars are not humans, they are machines. Like airplanes, phones and tables, those are all machines, equipment to be used.

        Cars take space, and the required infrastructure takes even more space. From roads, to parking space. Why should a road lane that can serve 20 drivers get priority over a side walk that can serve 200 people ? Why should everyone breath tire and break particular cus you wanna drive! Drive! Drive!?

        Contrary to your jump to Nazi Germany, you were not eliminated. As I said, you get a road with one lane, with paid underground parking. Mobility is a right, 5 lane roads and football sized parking lots are not.

        Also, cars don’t give you FrEeDoM, it makes you dependent on limited resources. Oil drilling or limited metals and minerals for EVs. We can’t build cars for everyone, there are not enough resources on earth for that. We can build high quality public transport for everyone and have enough resources left for the minority of cases where public transportation doesn’t work (you ain’t taking the bus to the hospital in an emergency).
