    There is so much anger to unpack here, I don’t even know where to begin. Violence directed behavior such as yours is just the start. In the near future you’d be trying assault people who think differently from you and could potentially kill someone. I think damaging your person before that happens would count as self defense.

    It’s such a ridiculous argument that people in the United States driving pickup trucks are solely killing the planet. When it comes to climate damage, it ses to fall exclusively on the west. Not China or India, but exclusively Tundra drivers in the US.

      Did I say that? Did I say they’re the only ones? I didn’t. I said that that extra pollution serves no good purpose. It’s for a status symbol and it’s not just in the US. Of course it’s not the only thing killing the planet but it’s the easiest thing to cut, and not even that is being cut.

        Many people, myself included, use pickups this size for their livelihood. Mine is purposely modified with a lift and oversized tires for the daily off road use that is required for my work. Contractors use vehicles this size to haul loads of materials, tools, or people to jobsites. If you want to remove all of these vehicles from the road, then tell me what your replacement is. Tell me what I should be driving to get through 2+ feet of snow or 8+ inches of mud to do my job. You seem to want to dictate what other people are allowed to use, so in your infinite wisdom, what is the alternative?

          Many maybe, but not most. Full-size trucks should be work only vehicles rather than personal ones. With audits done to ensure some work boss doesn’t just order some for fun when they don’t need them.

      If you’re willing to key a truck you’ll soon be a murderer, so I should murder you now just in case
