Can anyone recommend a book about how America came to be dominated by the automobile industry? Or anti-car books in general. I'm sick of having to look over my shoulder nervously whenever I walk around the city because some retard in one of these stupid, giant trucks is flying down the road looking at his phone. Also notice how high from the ground they are which maximizes their lethality to pedestrians. Why? What drives people to buy what are effectively manslaughter machines? Books on the psychology of this would also be appreciated.

It's because of Henry Ford. Find a book on that.

Picrel. There are also interviews with the author on youtube if you want a quick fix.

I hope you get run over by a truck trannie.

Excellent. I'm listening to an interview now and it's exactly what I was looking for. She talks about how streets used to be public spaces and pedestrian friendly; cars are introduced and children start getting run over in large numbers; families organize for laws restricting automobiles; big auto fights them and wins. The auto industry is opposed to pedestrian safety in every way, from laws that would make it harder to use a phone and drive, to laws that would limit the brightness of headlights, or the height of the chassis like I mentioned in OP, they spend millions of dollars fighting all these things so Chad McThunderChud can spend tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege of driving down the street in a tank while taking a selfie. The victims are mostly poor and non-white so nobody cares much. I think I am nearly killed by a car about once every six months on average. My sister was hit by a car a few years ago and the cop lectured her on being more careful even though she was crossing in a crosswalk with a walk light. I have never owned a car because I think they are violent and unnatural though I understand many don't have any choice in the matter. I would still like material on the psychology that drives Chad McThunderChud to want to spend so much money to drive what is virtually a tank.

you people have to stop doing the reflexive knee-jerk thing that looks like this
>here's a societal problem
>you people: okay
>here's why it's a problem
>you people: yeah that makes sense
>here's why that problem hurts poor blacks more than whites
>you people: REEEEEE you're a fucking TRANNY and the problem is GOOD actually it's so GOOD and you're a TRANNY
because it just makes you look completely retarded. think about it for half a second and it's easy to see how being poor and black makes getting hit by a truck more likely; at night it's harder to see blacks and poor neighborhoods don't have pedestrian infrastructure. you don't need to be a bluehaired communist to acknowledge this
>inb4 oh yeah well well when a poor black I mean NIGGER gets run over it's actually le heckin based
grow up

Nah, its an infrastructure problem. Henry Ford was an antisemite, blame Robert Moses, an actual semite.

Sounds like they need to try harder to be visible..sounds like a skill issue.

Small penises and fast cars: Evidence For A Psychological Link by Daniel C. Richardson, Joseph T. Devlin and John S. Hogan of the University College of London
It's more focused around sports cara but there's also another one strongly focused on big semis that I cant recall the name of
That's it. That's really all there is to it. If you need to associate your manhood with simple tools like cars and guns it's probably not the most solid form of manhood to begin with. I own both of those things and they never meant more to me than "thing that makes me go from point a to b" and "thing that makes other things go kaboom"

The problem is women judging small dicks, which causes men to be insecure. If women simply could get slapped when they did that, guys would not need to buy these to feel big. Like all problems, it goes back to female perception.

Henry Ford is one of the reasons for shit infrastructure

If you say so

Lol figures Moses was a jew on top of being both racist and classist. His long Island anti public transport racism bridges are textbook example of structural technology being applied to make society a little bit worse.

I like trains as much as you guys if not more but you people are kvetching losers

Because we're here to read about fixing our own problems, not about fixing black problems. Blacks are not a part of our society and never will be, they're a parallel society that only exists in the same geographical area because of historical mistakes and jews. Why not stay on topic instead of diverting it into a nigger whining session?

Extremely based

If you're insecure that's your problem. There's nothing wrong with women having preferences and if you can't measure up then you should be out of the evolutionary race.
>>
>>25294063
No one should be obligated to make you feel secure about yourself, specially because insecurity is so brutally hard to root out

There's always rape. Who cares what women want anyways.

>>25294857
I disagree. In fact it should be mandatory.

Imagine driving a car that could get spooked by its farts. Animal ambulation was much, much worse than retards and crackheads.

Not falling for that again, fag
