we designed a world where they're necessary.

What part of this is it that you dont understand?

Yes surely we can make individual solutions to systemic issues

[-] dukeGR4 0 points 1 year ago

yes, we can all play our part. reduce usage of cars at least? or take public transport more that's what i'm doing.

Good for you - I bike nearly everywhere and if that's not possible I take public transport.
These actions does not in any way change the underlying structural issues. They are not a solution, at best they can be described as patch-work.

My biking to work doesn't change the facts that we've designed a world reliant on cars, which is the only reason why we think cars don't suck. But cars are a necessity for quote a large part of the population. Posing individual solutions like "I just don't do it" does not change this fact. Using a car because it is necessary, despite hating cars is not hypocrisy.

Solving this issue that is the car-reliant society requires structural change, not individual solutions.
