Nothing says abject stupidity like taking an argument to its extremes no matter the cost.
Tearing out extra lanes that do nothing but encourage more traffic, adding protected cycling lanes or reducing road speed are seen as extreme by those that made the decisions that have created the infrastructure we have. In reality these are compromises.
'Share the road' is not a compromise. Sharrows are not a compromise. Jaywalking laws are not a compromise. Victim blaming is not a compromise. Media dehumanising pedestrians is not a compromise.Nobody ever fucking considered anything else but cars, drivers and the car lobby when installing these things.
Now tearing it out city centers to focus on humans and humanity is extreme?
You would absolutely not rip them out of you want bike lanes, buses etc.
You don't need 4+ lanes for that.
Let me quote: "ripped out completely". That means completely ripped out. Not only 2 out of 4 lanes.
Let me educate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
Yes, you're right: the conservative media outlet blatantly spinning the quote is being abjectly stupid.
Well, you sure know what you're talking about, you-need-to-allow-white-pride... 🙃

Taken out of context. I also said that you-need-to-allow-black-pride...
But you keep taking the Redditor approach to things, sifting through peoples history to attack things they said out of context, instead of actually making a meaningful attempt at a discussion. It's BOUND to make lemmy a replica of the place you fled from.
Really meaningful attempt at starting a conversation like so, troll? https://lemmy.world/comment/5742227
Is it also out of context when you compare your straight daughter’s experiences to, and I quote, „Jews during the holocaust“?
Maybe nobody wants to have a meaningful discussion with you because you’re an outrageously obtuse asshole.
Yes, you've clearly taken that out of context as well. SO much so now that you're putting words in my mouth.
Yeah, include the whole thing. I said, do you know what it was like to be a jew during the holocaust? No - even though you were educated about it.
Then the subject changes ENTIRELY. Unwitting git. You're doing exactly the same fucking thing. You've changed the context by omitting large portions of text. You should be a FOX news anchor. Because not only do you lack reading comprehension, you lie by omission to suit your goals of painting something in a light that has nothing to do with the facts.
This -- in direct response to someone saying that straight people have representation, that everything is "straight representation" by default.
Again, because the argument was because an Adult was fighting for it, it wasn't what the kid wanted, when clearly Adults go to bat for kids on their behalf over all sorts of things.
Then, all the way down here...WAY LATER in the fucking conversation....
But here you go cutting out all of the rest to make it sound like I was comparing people getting bullied for not being LGBTQ, to the fucking holocaust. Which is a FUCKING LEAP AND A HALF.
The part about the jews during the holocaust is because EVERYONE is taught quite SUCCINCTLY about that subject, and it's one that everyone can quite CLEARLY agree with that even though they have been educated on what happened -- the education they received does not impart anything other than knowledge of the event. Not any kind of realistic understanding of what those people lived through.
You may know about what happened during WWII, but there is no way your education will ever make you understand truly what those people went through. End of point. The point being that Education imparts knowledge not necessarily understanding. Which harkens back to my argument that simply educating children why they are being left out of "Pride" because they are straight, does not mean that it imparts the understanding as to why they are being discriminated against.
Too bad it takes an exponential amount more effort to educate an idiot than it does simply to refute or bullshit as you have done.
Not only that, BUT IN A FORUM ABOUT CARS FOR FUCKS SAKE. The first thing you morons did was GET OFFTOPIC, and start calling me a Nazi, for DARING have a different opinion ABOUT CARS...
This conversation doesn't even fucking belong here. But you moron fucks dragged me down into the dirt with your idiocy, and I was stupid enough to roll around in it with you. Each of those paragraphs which you so helpfully keep pulling out like some "GOTCHA!" are individual rebuttals to each of the arguments made in paragraph of the person that I was responding to in a different part of lemmy entirely. There are 3 separate rebuttals there, and somehow you've tied them together like I was trying to paint my daughter as some equivalent to one of the worst events in human history.
You fail sir. You fail so fucking hard it is embarassing. Get the fuck ahold of yourself. And get the fuck back on topic about CARS for fucks sake.
And Black Pride is also associated with the criminal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party
So that tells me you're okay with one terrorist organization over another because one matches the right color of skin right?
Because I'm just using the same arguments you are...you're either an idiot, or you're an idiot who supports terrorists, right?
If you look at my comment history I'm clearly not a Nazi supporter but that doesn't fit your preconcluded narrative. So wouldn't want to bring that to anyones attention. Oh wait, because it's not that at all -- you just didn't scroll far enough. You saw one thing, latched onto it, and then proceeded to make yourself look like a complete buffoon.
„I’m not a Nazi, but…“
