• @diskmaster23 There should be one, but there is not. Cars (or more accurately, their human makers and promoters) have been waging war on nature, communities, and people for over a century with very few of the victims developing the courage or the will to fight back in any meaningful way.

    …He denounces anti-car ideals… Then proceeds to express support for the exact thing we’re asking for?

      I think that’s the case with a huge amount of things that casual conservatives don’t like. They would actually agree with a lot of leftist/socialist ideas, but they just can’t get past the bad associations they have with the names of those ideas.

      You could probably get most regular (non rabid) conservatives to agree that big businesses not paying any taxes is bad, and that politicians should not be allowed to take bribesdonations, and that billionaires have too much influence on politics etc. etc. but as soon as you mention the word socialism they immediately run away and continue to vote for politicians who favour tax cuts for the rich.

      I guess it’s a bunch of word salad meant to let people hear what they want. IMO, I hear him saying “equality feels like oppression.”
