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.
I fucking hate pick ups, american fucking ugly cars, big cars and people who use a car to travel 1 or 2 km when they could do it on bike. When I see a large BMW or Mercedes SUV, or any other SUV actually, I want smash all the glasses with a hammer and extinguish the stupid tires. Am I fucked up in in this sense?
Not just you, I have such intrusive thoughts as well. I don't know how many exactly but I've already seen a few Ford F-150 here in Poland. No. Fucking. Joke. That car was HUGE, where a Clio's roof ends the Ford's hood begins. These cars scare me, it's literally a Child Crusher 9000 and the best part? I live in bumfuck nowhere! What is a car like this doing here!? The best not illegal thing I can think of is depressurizing the tires of those fucking tanks and putting up a Karny Kutas!
I can't imagine driving a Cinquecento along with these fuckers sharing the road, must be truly a chilling experience. Here's a comparison to a Maluch, I fucking can't 💀
I know, there are more and more fuckers like this on Polish roads. Also, more muscle cars which are smaller but equally pollutant. Poles want to mimic murricans in everything. Here is another comparison:
I hate how cars have been tied to “freedom” while conveniently ignoring how restricted by roads, gas prices, private property, maintenance, and parking cars are. Walking is the freest transportation option by far but car marketing has hidden that
