So I made a passing comment of “it’s almost like private car ownership is a really inefficient use of space and resources” the other day, which I didn’t really pay much mind to. But all the replies were either explaining the concept of public transportation as if I don’t know that’s the solution to private car dependence (not in a constructive way adding to my comment or anything, I got the sense that they were trying to explain the concept to me) and someone even basically said “well I’m sure you think urban sprawl is an efficient use of space then.”
Are the “normies” this oblivious to how anti-car sentiments work? Do they think we’re against the concept of a metal thing with four wheels and not its effects on urban development and society? Why the hell would I be against public transit or pro urban sprawl if I hate cars? Cities before cars were invented had public transit and were tightly packed and walkable. You don’t think I support that?
It’s the basic false dichotomy at the heart of every defense of the status quo.
“Oh, you don’t support [bad thing]? Well that means you clearly support [even worse, cartoonishly bad thing] instead! I’m not going to listen to you!”
Essentially libs when you mention that Biden still operates concentration camps for migrants
Wow I can’t believe you just advocated for getting Trump back in office.
