      Upvoted. I disagree, and I think we need fewer cars and more public transportation, but if you don’t like that community by all means block it.

              …Is that supposed to be a diss? LMAO

              Let me verify i have it straight:
              Youre bagging on the anti-car community by making a general assumption that they are unable to drive a car?

              I would love to read more about your thought process here.

                Well it means they don’t know anything about cars so how are those opinions even very valid

                  Exactly my point. You don’t get that Fuck Cars is hardly even about the cars themselves.

                    @[email protected] to be specific, [email protected] is “A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all.” The key word there is “infrastructure”.

                    Cars are amazing technological achievements, but many places have very poor infrastructure that is too focused on ONLY supporting cars (often single-passenger). This causes a variety of problems as discussed in that community. In fact, if we had better infrastructure you’d be able to enjoy driving even more because there’d be less traffic.

                    “Fuck cars” is a bit of a misleading name, but I guess it’s catchier than “hooray infrastructure”.

              I haven’t owned a personal auto in 12 years. I hold a class a license (to drive semi trucks). Our dependance on cars has destroyed the earth and our society. We’ve salted the earth with parking lots. We’re angry angry and fat people. Fuck cars.
