If we continue to call people names after very poor communication causes some backlash, we might as well give up on the whole community.

Like come on, the OP's PS in this comment for example is a bit late. The comment reads as "I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to, same as generators" and OP reply still couldn't write anything reassuring and instead they wrote so bad it implies he should just move. These people are not "car oilcels" just because they didn't study Urban planning and/or know what you meant to say but didn't!

I don't know about where you live, but the average driver here just needs to know 3 things to be fuckcars supporter:

• If you can easily use another form of transport, you should use it so the road is clear for people who must drive (bc driving sucks if roads are full, but every driver knows this already)
• The government is doing too little to get people to use public transport and E-bikes
• The government is subsidising car use way too much (it can still expensive). People should hesitate, like they sometimes do at big events ("Wait, where will I park?", "Isn't the tram quicker?") at every use, so they really think about what other options other than driving they have, instead of habitually driving everywhere.
