Nope.
It's insane to me how the fuckcars movement went from "we should have walkable cities and more public transport" to "ban all cars".
The stupidity of not realizing that farmers, plumbers, electricians, etc. need cars to keep modern society working is baffling to me. Not to mention that they fully expect people to go grocery shopping every single day, or it never crosses their mind because they have no idea what it takes to feed a large family.
have you read the sidebar of the fuckcars communities?

Equating the fuckcars movement to "ban all cars" is like equating climate change to "ban all oil".
My aunt feeds a family of five. She does not own a car, nor does she do grocery shopping every day. You know what's the answer? You had it right - “we should have walkable cities and more public transport”.
Yes, and I've also seen the posts and comments. Which is more representative of the actual community.
I see posts and comments talking about how rail isn't better, bike lanes aren't more widespread, how too many parking lots is an issue... I don't see anyone saying cars should be banned outright.
