I think this is why road rage is so prevalent

Everyone is scared and knows that if you get into an accident, it can ruin your life

But because we live in a profoundly unhealthy society, that anxiousness gets translated into anger at others rather than (correctly) realizing that shit is fucked up

One of the unexpected perks of living somewhere where public transit actually exists is that even in cases where I have been in a car, it feels like people are a bit more sane. People who really don't want to be on the road don't have to be. Down South (in the US), it's like, even if you get your license revoked, you still gotta get to work somehow, and it's so car dependent, what are you gonna do? That's to say nothing of the reduction in traffic. The fact that public transportation makes such a big difference even for people who drive everywhere makes it so much more ridiculous that it's so sparse and underfunded.

I think driving a car is another form of capitalist, class society's in general, way to isolate us and alienate from us each other. Driving a car is so alienating from other forms of transportation, you essentially stop caring about any human or non-human animal, just like how lawns are essentially alienation from collective nature of gardening.

it makes sense to me. The car people are very rich and use their power to ensure their richness and car dominance at the expense of people's livelihood.

Lots of stuff like that where the alternative would be cheaper/ better for society is not implemented because it would mean the rich faction of that particular thing would get less money.

Yeah driving should only be a licensed activity conducted by people who are personally interested or do it specifically for work.

Fuck this capitalist hellscape.

It fucking sucks that driving, yes fucking driving, halves my commute time. Absurd.

I was literally in a car crash today. Dumbass wrecked the entire side of my car. Fuck driving.

It makes perfect sense when you recall GM, Ford, and Goodyear lobbying against public transit in favor of selling their products.

One thing I loved about living in a city a long time ago was not having to use the car. But for 90% of my life it's been a necessity. I wish it wasn't but that's the way it is. Just planning for transport without car takes same time as going with a car for me. Not to mention the travel time. I don't use the car much, and try to do everything when I do. But it's not possible to live without.

Half-baked mini-trains you have to pay constant attention to otherwise they'll go off the trackless paths, or hit another mini-train, or even a pedestrian (they go on the same paths as people trying to walk?? What??)?

Motherfucker I don't have time for that I have books I need to read on a real train
