You’re the one that brought up rural areas, both in the comment I replied to and implicitly in the meme by saying people are against driving everywhere on earth. It’s a straw man and no one is saying that.
Again, the argument you are critiquing, which you don’t seem to understand at all, is that cars are inefficient, dangerous, and polluting, and that better alternatives exist in cities. Rural transportation is not relevant to this conversation so by bringing it in, you are engaging in propaganda.
I think we’re coming at this from different angles - I’m criticizing the response a lot of people have when electric vehicles are brought up, which is “they’re bad don’t buy them” and usually backed up with a belief that public transport is the solution. The obvious rebuttal in my opinion is that that doesn’t work for every area where cars/vehicles are needed, and it’s still worthwhile investing in and celebrating the transition of these existing systems. I 100% agree that car density in urban populations is a huge problem and I hate how much cars dominate our lives.
