    Cars fucking suck, and the only reason they don’t is that we’ve designed a world where they’re necesay.

    Edit: “Big countries” like us and china are exactly the places that could most benefit from non-car infrastructure. Having high-speed-rail connect the country instead of highways is in all ways a better solution.
    It is a more efficient way of transporting both goods and people, with less maintenance required, and expansion being less costly, and space being less of a demand.
    The only thing cars are optimal for is “last mile delivery” and even then there is often a better solution - micromobility like bikes, escooters and the like for people.
    The only reason we think cars are “good” is because they solve issues that come as a result of making a csr-centric society.

          but you are contributing to the problem? don’t be a hypocrite.

          every single time you use the car, think of the animals etc that you are harming. the greenhouse gases especially

              yes, we can all play our part. reduce usage of cars at least? or take public transport more that’s what i’m doing.

                Good for you - I bike nearly everywhere and if that’s not possible I take public transport.
                These actions does not in any way change the underlying structural issues. They are not a solution, at best they can be described as patch-work.

                My biking to work doesn’t change the facts that we’ve designed a world reliant on cars, which is the only reason why we think cars don’t suck. But cars are a necessity for quote a large part of the population. Posing individual solutions like “I just don’t do it” does not change this fact. Using a car because it is necessary, despite hating cars is not hypocrisy.

                Solving this issue that is the car-reliant society requires structural change, not individual solutions.
