Council members Wednesday voted to finalize plans that would remove a protected bike lane along downtown Main Street and add 40 angled parking spaces after public criticism of a previous […]
cool… you’re still living without that bike lane and totally disregarding the point of destroying someone’s property because the government made a dumb decision.
when the bike lanes got installed… you think anyone went around and started smashing your bikes? lol no… I’m all for the bike lane, and bike infrastructure but destroying your follow citizens property because of the government is wrong… you’re fighting the wrong enemy.
No matter how much you shame individuals for property damage as retribution for institutional violence, there will always be people out there who you don’t reach or simply disagree with you who will continue reacting to that institutional violence with more property damage. A much better use of our pearl clutching fists and scolding voices would be to direct them toward the institution that decided to revoke those important services in the first place and demand they be reinstated. No bike lane and more deaths and scolding the politically frustrated to no end vs having a bike lane and less deaths and bending the institution back toward public good…
If you actually do care about property damage, that seems to me the more rational and rewarding effort to make.
Adding the bike lane took nothing from anyone. Removing the bike lane is theft of public property. Parking in the removed bike lane is an act of violence against the proletariat that has to pay to subsidize your car.
Cars specifically are violence applied against the environment. Bicycles aren’t. If you don’t want your car vandalized, don’t support ecoterrorism perpetrated by the government.
Normal would be understood as a majority. a majority of people saw nothing wrong with either Trump or Biden as presidents. Both individuals believe white people are greater than black people, and both have endorsed christian nationalist beliefs harkening back to the various confederate declaration of successions which directly stated black people were put on this earth by the christian god to serve white people.

These types of statements are why normal people have a hard time engaging with these types of communities.
“normal people” voted for fascism and think brown people are objectively less in tune with God than white people.
You don’t want to ever be in the same category as ‘normal people.’
define normal…
also cite your sources else I’ll just assume you’re talking from emotion and nothing from documented facts…
your neighbours, are not your enemy…stop treating them.
“cite your sources” they said when talking about fascism and racism present in the US…
That’s something I’d expect from fundamentalist Christians, not people on lemmy.

Not true! A majority saw one of them as the devil incarnate, so they voted for a “lesser evil”.
right? it took from the car Infrastructure. I guess anytime a bike lane gets installed car owners should smash all the bikes and destroy them
that is afterall, what this community apparently wants to do… so stupid
Do you really not know where you are right now?
FUCK
CARS
And fuck people who simp for increases in auto bullshit.
