    I never understood how so many people can like driving. Whenever I have to drive, it's usually the low point of my day.

      That's the thing. They don't like driving either. They are raging most the entire time. It is either the rage is the closest they feel to a real emotion or simply fetishism about cars and driving being the thing you have to do with a car.

      I can understand enjoying driving. As in a comfortable drive in a low-density area. But traffic to me is like the opposite of that. You're forced to be in a car but not allowed to move.

          And also have to put effort into paying attention to one of the most monotonous tasks possible.

      I enjoy driving in one very particular situation and even then I have to be in the right mood. It has to be by myself, middle of the night on long straight rural highways with no one else around. Put on music or a podcast and that can be pretty nice. That only happens like twice a year though.

        Basically, driving can be pleasant, but having to drive isn't, and the former is practically nonexistent.

      It's impossible to go anywhere in most parts of the US without driving so they associate being told not to drive with being confined to their homes.

    This man says carbon is good because we're made of carbon. "When they talk about reducing carbon they mean they want to reduce you."

    :wtf-am-i-reading:

    I will never understand my fellow man. Is there something wrong with me because I want to go from point A to point B as efficiently as possible, without being forced to buy shit, and with as little stress as possible? Even if there was, I don't want to be right.

    some people will legit refuse to walk anywhere...

    while holding protest signs, using public infrastructure, walking to places

      Walkable cities are deeply satanic I say to myself as I protest in a walkable city using it's infrastructure to move around to enable me to spew my Koch Brothers culture war talking points.

    Pro-traffic rallies should be protested by people idling their cars next to the crowd. Bathe the pigs in mud.

        God, theres a grift to be done selling freedom air. Hook some simple O² masks up to a gas generator on the other side of a tent. Say it cures COVID and disables microchips and makes your balls hairier. 5 bucks for 5 minutes.

    Remember when BLM protests blocking traffic was terrible lawlessness, and many of these folks thought it was totally cool freedom energy to just run them down with cars? :agony-limitless:

      True american freedom is running over black people who're protesting police murders in your lifted f-150 turbo one hand on the wheel posting to gab FBI crime stats while the other hand is snacking on a delicious burger king treat.

    Some confusion at The Plain roundabout, with LTN Oxford protestors on loudhailers saying they won't go where the police tell them to go.

    The crowd is now going where the police are telling them to go.

    I didn't think car culture was such a big thing in the UK. It doesn't even look all that big, but it does show how you'll always manage to dupe a certain percent of a population to believe anything
