UK Oxford University's Professor Dame Henrietta L. Moore thoughts on how 20th century concepts of freedom (enabled by cars) needs to be replaced with an alternative 21st century freedom that prohibits the use of cars.

What? Have I? I don't remember that you schizo.
How do people get to stores to buy things without cars given that the US was built on zoning laws? How do the goods get there? How to the materials to make the goods get to the factories? How do people who work in the factories get there? How do the construction people get to work? How does your septic cleaner get there?
Quick commerce from cars saved America last century, it's why our GDP was so high.

Massive problem in my area was the poors getting cars. My childhood house was located near a beachfront and the place was so quiet that you didn't even need a fence or a hedge. By time I could drive 8-10' walls had to go up with barbed wire and there were quite a few cars. These days you have to fight just to get out your gate the road is so jam packed that people just park in front of your gate and sometimes outright in the middle of the road. Also a metric ton of KFC trash everyweekend with rats everywhere.

Oh, like 15-Minute Cities that the UN is touting as part of their Agenda 2030 plans? Don't worry - your mandated EVs will be geofenced to prohibit you from exiting that zone unless you have enough carbon credits left to afford a trip.

Just tired that everything today has to be framed with this weird quasi-religious guilt language. “Toxic relationship”,“dependency”, “threat”, “over-reliance”. Over reliance according to whom? Make alternatives to driving that are attractive to people and they will use it. They don’t even have to be faster but convenient enough that people choose it anyway. People like cars because they do a lot of things well, and sometimes it’s really that simple, and not some deeply rooted psychological problem.
>>

>implying zogcattle think for themselves
The car-focused cities were a creation of your masters. The simple truth is that oil companies and car manufacturers no longer are the most powerful corporations. It's never been a matter of "preference", child.
>>
>>28699430
Not entirely. Cars (and planes) were seen as the future of transport back in the 30’s through 60’s, and I can understand why. People who actually grew up in the old streetcar era weren’t too sad to see them go as most were old, loud and slow. It was the same story with passenger rail vs air travel as rail companies couldn’t wait to offload their failing passenger services onto the government via Amtrak.
In hindsight it was shortsighted and misguided but it’s not all oil and auto propaganda that brought this about.

there are people everywhere that have been slighted in some way to make them find YOUR innocent hobby or passtime villainous or downright evil
the thing you enjoy on the weekend, or spend a few hours a week, or obsessively research and learn about is the same thing they want to destroy on an atomic level
they want nothing more than the complete and utter destruction of this thing that you have grown to love and wish to pass on to loved ones
please remember this feeling the next time you encounter someone doing something that doesn't totally align with your views, morals or whatever little picture of life that lives in your head
you can just as easily be this person to someone else and recognizing this fact is the first step to NOT becoming a hateful, joy-destroying 'thought leader'
we should all strive towards greater freedoms always
those that seek to restrict freedoms are the true antithesis of what a good society is

I don't agree with the (suppose since I haven't read it) framing of the article linked in the OP, but most normies don't actually enjoy driving to work every day. Not a single person I've talked to actually enjoys driving to work every day either. This doesn't change the fact that American city planners are absolutely addicted to doing literally anything other than offering people trains or good alternatives to driving, of course, which would be required in order for any complaints on the subject to be mitigated.

>>28699430
10,000% truth.

>>28699456
>it’s not all oil and auto propaganda that brought this about.
Not entirely, but majorly. The car and oil industries campaigned for billions of taxpayer dollars to be spent on the interstate because that meant demand for their products. At the very beginning of the history of the automobile they campaigned for jaywalking to become a crime. In the present era auto magnates like Musk come up with smokescreen and lies in order to kill things like high speed rail that are present throughout the rest of the first world.

Even if they aren't always responsible, you always have to keep in mind who the biggest movers and shakers are.

That ship has sailed mate, except if you're arguing for a gigantic culling of all the 56% muttoids. Which would be cool, but I'm not sure a lot of people would agree.
