I mean understand all of that but for me it comes off as “hey you can kill anyone you want as long as it isn’t white people”.

Thanks for the cliffs notes on the video!

Not all heroes wear capes, and you are one of them.

I watched so you don’t have to:
1 month of expenses in checking minimum

This whole thing just feels so off-putting to me, from the way Mediatonic handled the situation initially to the alternative text of the image in the Tweet:

“Worse than anyone imagined.”

Every single Republican supporter deserves to die.

Yup. Never mind that God is also the world’s leading abortion provider (ending something like 20% of all pregnancies).

When this eventually makes its way to the Supreme Court the precedent will be used as the way to make any activity that could potentially harm a fetus by anyone that potentially could become pregnant illegal. No driving, no sports, no drinking, no prescription or OTC medicine, no smoking, no school after 5th grade etc …

Dude, that’s one of his points...maybe time to rethink choosing to live in a place where you are dependant on a car and contributing to destruction to conduct your daily activities. Life can be better for you and everyone if we didn’t make it so easy and cheap to choose to live in the middle of nowhere.

not needing the car makes the experience so much more enjoyable too. just because you dont have that added stress of what youll do when it eventually fails... I do all my commuting by bicycle, but things like trips to the store or track days are a whole lot more fun when you have a car.

Probably because “Ban Cars” brings more clicks and engagement online than “We Would Like to Change How People Think About and Engage With the Automobile in Their Daily Lives.”

I think the article explains pretty clearly that nobody is showing up to shout “ban cars” in your town with no other transit options.

As someone who just moved to the suburban wasteland of Henderson, NV, I often struggle with this idea. How could we meaningfully impact the dependence of cars in the cities that are already built for cars. We’re not going to raze these “master planned” communities and install beautiful, walkable and livable…

The issue is not the existence of cars. It is the lack of any other option for 99% of the people in this country. Without cars, you need ready access to things that you can gather by any other method than a car. No access without a car means you have to have a car.

Good stuff and surprising in a good way that Doug got a byline here.
