Seeing how much death is caused as a direct consequence of organized hostility to groups outside of the ruling class is sadly a reality that, as low as it is, can't be ignored.

There's evidence about the double standard applied cars as well:

as study author and environmental psychologist Ian Walker succinctly put it on Twitter, showed that “‘Car Brain’ — the cultural blind spot that makes people apply double standards when they think about driving — is real, measurable and pervasive.”

teh car brain is definately something I don't get. I have to drive sometimes and absolutely loathe it. I don't get how blithe people are about the most commonly dangerous thing that is so pervasive in our lives. I wish so much I could live in the city center and that they would make it car free.
