FuckCars

A community for discussions of how cars have ruined many cities across the globe, as well as alternatives to them.

Cars are deeply tied to capitalism, and in resisting capitalism, it is worthwhile to reconsider personal automobiles place in transportation.

Rules: (wip: message me if I’m missing something)

Be nice to people: This is fuck cars, not fuck drivers. Yes some drivers are car-brained maniacs, no that doesn’t mean they’re evil (usually).

No hate or bigotry: No racism, homophobia, sexism, terfs, ableism, etc. Not the move generally. Cars have already destroyed enough marginalised communities, no need for us to help them.

No traffic violence: Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

No misinformation: Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

No harassment: Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Nah, would much rather we keep the site easy to pay for and sustainable until we build up a large enough user base of people donating to sustain the site

Lol how do you drive around in this crackermobile and not be completely embarrassed?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's called having the mentality of a 10 year old making a scene at a grocery store because they want the attention.

In their mind most people secretly think the same way and agree with them.

It's a classic tactic of assholes, since it's a lot easier to live with their own shitty behaviour if they think everyone else does(or want to do) the same thing.

2020 The Sequel

So... Trump loses again?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I mean it must be hard for these people to give a second thought to a design or text considering they don't give it a first thought.

Ignoring all the signs, how is legal to drive that vehicle on the street?

[–] stevedidWHAT 41 points 2 years ago

Because the ones who work forces are the same that burn crosses

[–] spacedancer 15 points 2 years ago

Because that guy drives a police cruiser for work.

Murica.

Next?

Oregon has racist roots unfortunately. Outside of the major cities, the family trees aren't very wide in more ways than one.

Love how their endgame is literally just making libs cry. There is no end they won't go to for that goal.

Could we use this to get communists in political office? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Maybe. They'd have to avoid the well-known commie rhetoric but I would be amazed if the drivers of any of these Emotional Support Vehicles knew policy preference of communists enough to put two & two together.

"A Trump supporter would let him shit in their mouth if a liberal had to smell it"

[–] HRDS_654 4 points 2 years ago

These people cry way more than "liberals" ever did.

Emotional support vehicle (ESV)

[–] negativeyoda 13 points 2 years ago

100% chance the catalytic converter is bypassed.

Getting 6 miles to the gallon to own the libs

[–] ohlaph 13 points 2 years ago

Of course it's from Oregon, damn it.

It’s a weird hill to die on.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's built for climbing that hill.

[–] fordlincolnhg 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

You might be right about that. Maybe a short hill with a low gradient.

Big cars = big egos

Initially, I was searching for a Nazi flag, but then I spotted the US flag with the blue line. I was like, oh, I've found it!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Imagine you are a teenage kid and your father insists to pick you to the school with this four wheel piece of shit 🤢 this is how nightmares are born

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

How is such vehicle even usable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It’s not. It’s literally all for show.

I remember when 1 MB was an entire floppy disk.
