“Fuck cars”, like “ACAB”, is often a quick tagline to a problem people understand is more nuanced. I don’t think so many people here would literally like all cars in existence to be crushed in a heap.
I left reddit because I was apparently too anti car for /r/fuckcars. If this community becomes like the reddit diluted sub where people were making car apology and justifying their use, I'm going to be very disappointed.
I would really love that all cars in existence be crushed into a heap. It's a fantasy and I know it won't happen. I can compromise. But if most could be crushed in a heap, that would be very great too.
Literally most though. And I agree.
Public transport is the way to go.
Exceptions for delivery and trucks for construction, emergency services etc.
I'd like that. Take however much chaos or inefficiency you think that day would cause, now imagine centuries of climate change.
