    I was told it was more about designing the world around not needing them and having walkable cities and/or more public access and use of busses and other public transportation.

    But also I see some people are very …uh… “Cars are evil and should all be destroyed and you should walk everywhere! Stop living in the country go find a city house so you can walk everywhere!”

    It’s hard to tell which one is the main point anymore.

      When some movement says ‘Fuck X’ then maybe we should just give them the benefit of doubt and not immediately assume they mean ‘destroy X immediately and completely, and all those plus their kin who support bloody X’ but might be okay with ‘gradually replace X with a solution that’s proven to be less destructive and harmful’

          Emotional intelligence can also mean to not assume the worst about somebody using swear words. If I say ‘Fuck cars’ I don’t mean I want to engage in sexual intercourse with a motor vehicle. It also doesn’t mean I don’t want to ever use a car again and expect the same of you. It just means I’m not too fond of a society built on car ownership.
