people just like having cars so they can uhhh kill anyone they want
the indoctrination of acceptance of the sheer amount of people who die from car related shit is insane and never fails to make me mad as fuck man
well this is bleak

Vehicular homicide is bad and so is forcing people work and drive in their late 60s stocking shelves on night shift just to pay off debts
Car companies have been lobbying the US government for decades to turn the country into a car-dependent shithole. They are still fucking lobbying to the point where the US government is seriously considering "TURN EVERYTHING ON THE ROAD INTO SELF-DRIVING UBER" as a strategy for the future instead of investing in public transport. The "people" at the highest levels of power do not give a shit about human beings and have made life into a hell because their corrupt asses couldn't resist Ford's moolah in return for allowing the latest mcmansion colony to be built over 9000km away from any public transport.
I find it incredibly difficult to convince people not to like cars even if i can counter every single justification for it the argument basically ends with "but i want to drive" while demonstrably hating every minute of it.
Auto deaths are social murder. People look at me cock eyeed when I explain this, but I find this to be one of the least divisive, most radicalizing breakthroughs you can have for libs and chuds equally.
i hate owning a car. I gotta get the oil changed every 10,000 miles and it would take me 4 hours to get to work and then 4 hours to get home from work if I didnt have a car and then I gotta spend the money I made at work to buy gas and make sure my car dosent explode on my way to work ever 3 years. i dont want to run anyone over, i dont want to get road rage and resort to honking a bike horn out my window at hoopleheads.
I've been reflecting on how much carbrained infrastructure is in effect just downloading the costs of transport and infrastructure to individual people. Instead of governments paying to maintain public transport, they've colluded with car companies and such to convince people to have to pay their own way around.

tfw the economy is so fucked that its becoming more "pay to work" instead of "work for pay"
slightly unrelated but you might want to know that poast are nazis and you linked nazi-owned nitter instance
use xcancel.com instead they seem chill
e: the same link but on xcancel: https://xcancel.com/ormondroyd/status/910244326567006211#m
poast are nazis and you linked nazi-owned nitter instance
Thats awful, could we get a source on this so we can have it ready for the future too?
their pleroma instance is on several blocklists, here's one https://seirdy.one/pb/FediNuke.txt and fediseer report https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/poa.st by now it's probably defederated by all non-nazis. they've been around for a long time. generally any pleroma instance, especially with soapbox is best assumed nazi until proven otherwise
there also is or used to be a tool for looking up who defederated who hosted at ryona[.]agency, and you better also not use it because it comes from kiwifarms (they have or had their own instance at the same domain. it sucks up everything it can and specifically refuses to delete anything)
Thanks for the information! Idk anything about website software at all so I need to ask, does the federation thingy mean that poa.st and post.org are basically run by the same people?
uh why do we care if we waste nazis server resources instead of the good people at xcancel? I mean, they could be collecting browser data or changing content, but probably not
because as you say they are in position to log everything
if you want to reduce load at xcancel, some accounts are also on telegram or bluesky or mastodon
