Fuckcars is leaking again I see!
On the contrary, everybody hates cars. I've never met a driver who doesn't hate cars. Fuckcars is just the concentrated form.
You might want to meet more people
yeah, it sounds like dude here has only driven shitty cars.
I have yet to see someone that doesn't hate everyone else's car, at least during traffic, meaning every driver either also hates their own car as well or they are a hypocrite.
i mean, i smoke a lot of weed so that might be part of it. it takes a bit of a philosophy and perspective change from [I'm stuck in traffic] to [I'm traffic]. I view it as somewhat of a daoist or buddhist perspective (because the lightswitch flipped while i was reading an Alan Watts book, Tao, the Watercourse Way. or The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. i read them one after the other. Excellent reads. I'm not an expert on taoism or buddhism or eastern religions or philosophy but i hear Alan Watts was so don't take my word for it) Also i have kickass music all the time i drive and an extra song to listen to is never unappreciated.
i'm weird though, i get it. i know i'm an outlier.
now when i'm on my bike? fuck yo car
driving a little supercharged six speed manual shitbox is fun as hell though. especially when you've got the road to yourself
ALSO i like the way this rolls off the tongue i'm going to use it in a shitty song. i really need to start playing an instrument that lets me sing.
i'll take the hypocrite label though. we are all not without our little (and large) contradictions
You know what yeah, that's fair. There are people that enjoy cars for their own sake. Frankly though, those are the kinds of people I would hope sympathize with the Fuck Cars philosophy the most, as the goal behind the sentiment is (usually) not that cars should no longer exist outright, but that instead infrastructure changes should be made so that not literally everyone needs to drive to live. Changes like replacing on street parking with protected bike lanes, investing in robust public transit networks, and replacing massive parking lots with actually functional construction. You know, changes that get people out of their cars while still reaching the places they need to go, which in turn reduces traffic for emergency services and the people that decide they want to drive anyway.
I mean, you're talking to one right now. I sympathize, i see the need, but the fuckcars philosophy pushes a little extreme because they often forget the folk who rely on cars, not because of the infrastructure deficiencies but because their bodies broke. like, if you've tried to use public transit or accommodations with a wheelchair, you find out pretty quickly why you almost never see anyone in a wheelchair on the light rail. The accommodations for them were built with people who can easily and quickly transfer in mind, and if you can't transfer then fuck you basically. it's an extreme reactionary position where what would benefit us all is somewhere in the middle (though, let's be honest, way closer to the fuckcars side than what we've currently got)
First, I absolutely see people in wheelchairs on the light rail where I live, that's mostly a problem for cities where the rail system predates the ADA. Second, I'm very much not forgetting those people, partly because less traffic helps them as much as any driver, and even more because it's simply naive to imagine that the majority of people with disabilities are able to drive but not able to take a bus or train.
like, we've had these conversations on here before and you and the majority of the other fuckcars folk on here i am convinced get it. but if i pop onto reddit (yeah i know, bad idea) or wherever else i've seen fuckcars stuff (i don't really want to remember that hard) it tends just to be the loudest "get rid of cars, put in transit as it currently exists everywhere and call it a day" idiots. it requires a total rethinking. but a lot more people are disabled than you'd think, we just hide it as well as we can because as soon as it becomes visible we start getting death threats.
Everyone I know IRL hates cars and driving in rush hour, and all of them live at least 30 minutes away from work. I don’t think they properly weigh their options when choosing a place.
Not everyone has a choice sadly - work tends to be in the cities, and prices for a family home in a city are beyond most couples.
So, you're forced to commute by car.
Not everyone, certainly, but some people do have a choice, and willingly choose the commute.
I knew a guy in Alaska who drove three hours one way to work every morning because he didn’t like having neighbors. I’m not sure why he cared about his home situation so much when he was only there to sleep, but here we are.
