    I really think that you can’t divorce the car-centric hell we are currently suffering in from the politics that made it happen.

    “Fuck Cars” is 100% a political statement.

        It’s a really odd position to take when politics are literally the only route through which public infrastructure and services pass.

        “Guys can we please talk about how we better do politics without being political?”

        I hope your statement was satire. Otherwise I question your understanding of basic concepts.

          It’s so hard to tell. I read it and thought “Good joke!” and upvoted right away. But I had the same reaction when r/TheDonald started, so my sensor is busted.

        I don’t know. People are writing and calling the government every day, protesting online to attempt to improve public transportation, yet in vain. Well guess who’s in control. And it’s not just public transportation, you know.
