      Lol… No one is going to join your little war when the see the brainless mindless posts that you lot like to circle jerk over.

      I’d love to see a massive reduction in the dependence on cars, but you lot are doing more harm than good picking on non issues and making shit up.

        Just because it’s a circlejerk doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate.

        Leading preventable cause of death of children and main source of climate change emissions is worth being radical about.

        And where are they “making shit up” or “picking on non-issues”?

          That’s how we differ.

          You’re focusing on being radical and using emotional buzz words (death of children), where as I’m actually interested in changing the status quo with regard to cars, and have been effective in doing so at a local level without making an ass of myself.

          I share what I’ve achieved when practical and many good discussions come of it.

          What have you done today?

          Yell at the internet about ‘trucks’ that very few actually use and get a few pats in the back for it?

          The difference is, fuck cars is an ineffective and damaging community when it comes to influencing positive change, and you think you’re part of the solution when in fact your part of the problem.

          People are never going to take a community like that seriously while so critical and full of negativity.

        Just want you to know that you’re not alone against the massive Lemmy hivemind downvoting you. The car hate is strong here but it’s very easy to block them and ignore them.
