"Cars offer nothing but death and destruction"
Fucking lmao can you hear yourself?? Seriously?? That's the only thing that cars offer?? I wasn't going to reply further in this thread because this community is a fucking joke but your comment was so profoundly stupid I just couldn't help myself. I'd call it a braindead take but it's just so insubstantial and incorrect that I'm not even sure it qualifies as a "take".
Are you an 18th century horse salesman? Carriage driver? Farrier? Or are you an edgy middle schooler who just found their first shitty internet opinion?
You are so far gone from the real world I doubt you could ever make it back to planet earth.
Pull your head out of your ass and pay attention to reality. Grow up.
The car and oil industries are killing the environment and the cars themselves are a leading cause of death in cities all over the world. I'm not the one who needs to grow up here, bud. I live in reality, and that reality is a dying earth and death defying walks to work when cars won't respect my inability to protect myself against them.
If it weren't for the car and oil industries we'd have efficient trains taking us across the country instead of fossil fuel chugging planes and individual automobiles.
