      If you’re trying to use Lemmy and Reddit as indicators of what people actually care about you will be repeatedly disappointed.

        It is just as irrational for me to make the claim I made as you to make yours without evidence. Fortunately the arguments against car-dependent infrastructure planning go far beyond “we don’t like 'em”. The human and environmental benefits of walkable cities with robust public transit and the unsustainability of car-dependency speak for themselves. What other issue of political advocacy would “some people disagree” fly as a reasonable argument? The whole point of advocacy is to shift the tide of popular opinion enough to make material change

          It’s not “some” people though is it? You’ve just been in leftist online bubbles too long.

          I’ve never once advocated against robust public transport. What I’m against is people taking it too far to the extreme and punishing car owners like the little eco fascists they are.

            ??? It is indeed “some” people lmao. Not all people, not no people, some people.

            Ah I see, so you’re against an imaginary straw man! Glad we got that sorted out.

            You are a completely unserious contrarian and there is no point in talking to you.
