There are magnitudes more users on the "Fuck Cars" community. You guys might wanna watch yourselves. lol
Fuckcars communities are more of a "we hate the societal effects of car dependency" and less of a "we hate cars everywhere".
Many users there don't seem to be capable of differentiating those two things.
This was very much the case on Reddit from what I've seen.
I love cars, especially the old restored ones, or reading about people tinkering and troubleshooting. But I subscribe to fuckcars because I fucken hate literal vans being used in my city and clogging up the streets designed for less and smaller traffic. Those Chelsea tractors, as they call them in the UK can fuck right off. Fine em, tax em, whatever you need to do, sabotage their tyres, whatever. Fuck em.
I see cars as tools. I'm a fuckcars person because I believe cities should not be built to appease roads and cars. Though I do find old cars cool and fascinating, I just want good people-friendly infrastructure in the world.
Believe it or not, some of us "fuck cars" people are also car enthusiasts.
It's kind of like how there are a bunch of people who like riding horses, but probably wouldn't want them to be everybody's primary mode of transportation.
