MODERATORS
Yeah these communities should be "we are all victims of car dominated society and infrastructure: here is the problem and here are some solutions" but instead they're just people who have never set foot in North America getting triggered by vehicles 90% of the population isn't even aware that it even exists.
They're also living such sheltered and cushy lives that they have the outright luxury of sitting around on the internet bitching that other people should confirm their lifestyles to whatever their unrealistic pipe dream is, and do it overnight.
You're never going to catch me living in a city, ever. Walkable and bikable utopia or not.
Are you lost? This is the "fuck cars" community.
I think you're looking for the reactionary pedant shithead community or something.
Oh, sorry! I forgot we weren't allowed to poke a hole in the bubble of your whackdoodle echo chamber.
If you don't want people to criticize your obvious bullshit, don't post it publicly on the internet.
Do you have the same type of brain hemorrhage you're currently having when someone forwards you a stupid meme on facebook or email? Cuz that's about the quality of the thing you're "criticizing" here.
Also it ain't mine; I didn't post it. I just find it hilarious when people respond to a obvious circlejerk with bitter, weird pedantry in the comments instead of just downvoting it or moving on like most people without a personality disorder would.
If you guys really feel this way you ought to maybe move your community to a little private defederated instance or something, so you can keep your precious circlejerk going away from outside eyes and you won't get you wittle fewwings hurt so much.
Dude, I'm not even subscribed to this community, and you are the one who sounds like a little triggered baby.
What's going on with you? Your diaper full?
