It’s insane to me how the fuckcars movement went from “we should have walkable cities and more public transport” to “ban all cars”.
The stupidity of not realizing that farmers, plumbers, electricians, etc. need cars to keep modern society working is baffling to me. Not to mention that they fully expect people to go grocery shopping every single day, or it never crosses their mind because they have no idea what it takes to feed a large family.
Should have added a winky face. We can’t ban cars, but definitely need to use cars less. Mostly a joke about how the current state of EVs is just green washing.
I was mostly venting my frustration over those silly posts anway. Since as long as humans have physical bodies, we will at times need individual transportation. And they sometimes act like literally everything in life can be done through public transport and excpeting people to bring home a couch on the bus.

I had to do the grocery shopping for a household of 7 (3 of them teenagers) and the only reason I used a large vehicle to get those groceries is because there was no infrastructure for bicycles in that town. I didn’t haul anything that couldn’t also be hauled by a decent cargo bike.
Nope.

That’s fair.
