This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

MODERATORS
Call it what it is please.
Terrorism.
The murderer was not the race you seem to be assuming by this post btw.
No name was mentioned in the article. The driver being cleared of "terorrism" this quickly almost always means one thing.
A quick Google search will pull up names and pictures. The dude is Asian, and I think potentially Filipino himself.
Wait so the meme is still right.
They went "Not Arab, not Black = mentally disturbed"
how?
By ignoring how car dependency and the "healthcare" system caused this.
They are saying that attacker has mental health issues. He may not hate Philippinos specifically, but hating people in general is apparently not terrorism.
Please look up the word "terrorism" in a dictionary.
Just copying it into here cause I'm getting tired of the comments:
"A surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims. "
As far as we and the police know, there was no political or religious agenda here. Again, as far as they know, this was not a planned attack. This is fucked up and really fucking heartbreaking situation but it is not, by definition, a terrorist attack.
It's been used as a political hammer for a long time. For example, cartels operate like business, but are qualified as terrorist organizations by the US.
And Israel isn't. Which is hilarious. Words don't seem to mean shit to Americans.
