Gotta love how that whole section of WA and Northern Idaho is filled with the most insane and deranged kkkrackers

Didn’t they have one of those right wing dominionist sheriffs out there?
Yup and also a recent shooting in which a neo nazi lured firefighters into the woods around where a major nazi training "clubhouse" was previously confiscated by Idaho and set on fire by that same fire department.
The PNW region is plagued by actual Nazis that are organizing. They have real estate companies that are dedicated to getting more of those freaks to move there to establish a new Rhodesia or some shit like that.
The only good thing I've noticed so far is the only people they have getting into new developments in elderly retired boomers close to their deathbed (i.e. 70+) add in collapsing rural medicine and funny enough these areas won't be able to care for that inevitable surge. Most of the working class is apathetic or outright angry at the rich white boomer flight driving up their cost of living so that's been interesting to see.

My conclusion on the current trend of gigantic pedestrian-crusher 9000 F-350 SUPER CAB infrastructure-destroyers that are plaguing American highways (other than D2A) is that these are Do-Not-Divorce-Me-Mobiles or alternatively See-What-I'll-Do-If-You-Divorce-Me-Mobiles. As material conditions in the US continue to precipitously degrade the US will look more and more like this with strung-out entrapped middle classians who can still leverage debt to even purchase a vehicle being the last hope to prop up dying US automakers deciding to get epic with it because nothing really matters. I do a lot of city-driving these days and I have seen RELIEF on people's faces over the mere act of checking my mirrors before I peel out into a school bus or something. That is how low the bar is.
D2A?
Ohh, right.
looks like a minvan in the picture
back in 2008, when gas went up real high for americans alongside what was called the "global financial crisis" and the real estate implosion... i remember craigslist was full of huge, used SUVs for really cheap.
these damn jumbo killers are going to be plaguing us for decades and our only real hope is a revolution ban or some wild increase in fuel prices that takes 95% of them off the road
You: Stocking up on lentils to weather the economic downturns, cycle of crises inherent to capitalism, scarcity, and austerity conditions imposed by the bourgeoisie dictatorship
Me: Stocking up on lentils to deflate the tires of the abominable super trucks
We are not the same.
You don't realize how psychotic American drivers are until you drive in another part of the world. Its uncanny to drive/ride in an area without an ambient level of spite and anger permiating every drivers actions.
americans keep saying this and while it may be true, my parents were pleasantly surprised how nice it was to drive in NJ in about 1998 compared to budapest, hungary.
maybe it's gotten worse in the US since then. i dunno.
Maybe they were referring to the quality of the roads and consistency of traffic devices? Japan is pretty good about this, but there have been so many cases in China and Vietnam where it's just like "OK, I guess I'm going to now" because there's a 10+ mile divided road or cross a literally impassable flow of traffic or everyone around you decided we're all going to go the wrong way up a 1-way.
Then again, New Jersey is kinda unique with jug handles.
what i remember specifically is that they liked how americans can merge two lanes into one peacefully by letting each lane take a turn, instead of turning it into a free for all where if the other guy gets into the lane first, you've shamed your ancestors.
This has never in the history of the US actually happened. If two Interstate lanes have to merge for construction, the backed up stop and go traffic will reach back 20 miles.
This sounds like pure fantasy, I'm in a relatively sane part of the country and even here no one zipper merges lol.
If you go to Atlanta, it's basically just Dukes of Hazzard on the highways. Absolutely terrifying place.
all i'm saying is they definitely had this impression. they kept saying this. maybe things really are (were?) even worse in hungary.
That is alien to my experience in America, and I remember my dad complaining in the 90s about how if everyone just cooperated instead of fighting to be 1 car length ahead, zipper merges would be so much smoother. I've never experienced Hungary traffic so maybe that's it.
But the thing about US drivers isn't that they fight, everyone does that, and they're less aggro than SEA, more aggro than Japan.
The difference is how often people have just psychotic reactions to someone driving in a way they don't like, whether it's going too fast, too slow, switching lanes too much or too little or being too close, lane splitting, riding a bicycle, playing music too loud, hell look at OP, the driver saw a child riding a motorbike on a sidewalk, and decided that running them down was a sensible course of action.
Since leaving the US, not once have I seen a driver go out of their way to fuck with someone else, whether brake checking/going 10 below the speed limit or speeding up at a merge so someone else can't get in or trying to physically push a bicycle out of their lane or blocking a motorcycle from filtering at a light. These are all common experiences in the US.
i've been thinking. maybe what they were experiencing was the contrast between driving in a city of millions vs driving in US suburbia, and they mistook the relative relaxation for an overall improvement
This is really only true in America if you get at least 100 miles away from a large city. Even then it's a toss up
I'm happy that where I'm at people let their kids do things outside, it's less white than a lot of neighborhoods in Amerikkka. I feel like it's mostly racist white parents that think it's too dangerous for kids to be outside, and then you get these stories and it's always some white boomer trying to kill someone. I didn't bother to check if the woman was a white boomer this instance though but my point stands.
Time-traveling, shape-shifting death machine from the future hellbent on destroying the last hope of humanity or average suburban Amerikkkan?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
reminded me of that documentary of a white woman killing a black mom in florida.
