r/fuckcars / Not Just Bikes / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

[Markass the Worst]

The fuck kinda word is this. Are these people legitimately luddites? Once they get rid of cars will they go after busses and trains too for having motors in them?

Yes.

As always, this just proves it's never good enough for these people. It's not even enough after they ban cars, they'll just go after buses, trains and planes for being environmentally unfriendly (supposedly) next. And David Hembrow gave away the whole game in 2019. Thanks, David.

Before there were anti-car urbanists, there were anti-train urbanists:

The means of transport may change over the centuries, but the desire of the elite to limit normal people's movement is eternal.

IDK.

I mean, R/FuckCars folks are generally anti-horse/would pass a law sending all horses to the glue factory if they could. I feel like modern day luddites would be pro horse-based transportation?

Were luddites pro bicycle? They're whatever the anti-horse, pro-bicycle equivalent of a luddite would be.

I've seen some pro-horse stuff on /n/, and the sentiment probably exists on Reddit too, but these are only very conditional.
- horses are slow and tend to inconvenience cars (good)
- horses aren't cars (also good)

They're also in deep denial that in the world before cars, horses, not cyclists/pedestrians, ruled the road, and were the reasons for wide downtown streets. This is very important to the dogma.

I would also reckon that the second horses inconvenience them in any way, they'd be calling for a restriction to them.

According to the 30 seconds of research I did on google, what is did not take a stance when it came to bicycles.

This is your country in niggers. Police niggers and this stops.

That's crazy I feel the same about cyclists, send them to the glue factory.

Owning a horse would take way too much work for these subhuman goblins.

You'd have to feed them, bathe them regularly, take them to the vet for regular checkups, clean up their shit, change their shoes twice a year or so, etc.

I'm gonna powerlevel a little bit because I have experience here, I worked at a ranch over summer vacation when I was in HS. It's backbreaking work, and I KNOW none of these bike kikes would be up to the task.

Horses are also extremely expensive. Cars replaced horses as personal transportation because you can defer most maintenance indefinitely with a horse it will just die and be useless long before that point.

The thing is the car and petroleum-based oil were the best things to happen for animal welfare. You can abuse a car, but it won't suffer the same way a horse will.

NYC was full of dead rotting horse corpses for a century because its really hard to move 2000 lb of dead horse without machinery. They have no idea about anything but whatever ignorant propaganda they've been told.

Transport r/fuckcars to the 19th century and they'd be seething about how horse-brained and horse-centric America is and how private horse ownership should be outlawed. At their core they hate the idea of personal freedoms and their worldview would change to reflect that.

Modern day lefties take a dim view of pets, farming and animal husbandry. They would without a doubt move on to ban horse drawn carriages or riding as animal cruelty/unsafe for kids.

No idea where it went, but, NYC activists want the horses banned from Central Park for endangering kids.

Once the 4,500 pound murder-machines are gone? They'll just move on to the 1,000 pound ones.

Because it was never about just the cars.

Their ideas aren't born of rationality, they're born of feverish insistence on political purity, which in this case, demands humans use self-propelled means of locomotion exclusively. If your ass isn't' walking/biking? You're a menace to eliminate.

I've broken out this pic a lot, and I will do it again.

This is a New York City street in the late 19th Century, and that is not dirt.....

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

What I think a fair number do is have 2 bikes, ride one to the train station near home, then get on their other bike at the station near work. There were hundreds just parked outside the station, no huge 'urban' style bike chains, just some kind of simple wheel lock usually. The parking garages also have bike parking. The bikes are usually smaller ones rather than the mountain/racing style bikes that the "bike" people seem to like.

Japan also probably doesn't have the problem that western nations have with darkies, bums, and drunk assholes abusing bike/scooter rental systems and trashing them.

Also it's the fact that modding and optimizing a bike for your own comfort seems generally more enjoyable than adjusting yourself to what a random company thinks would be most comfortable. And most american bikes are much more easily modded than the average dutch bike, so you'd have far more options available which can be made to your own liking

Not a single one of these people would do that because they're too stupid to do the (extremely simple) work for themselves and too poor and antisocial to take it to a shop. And besides that customization is antithetical to the consoomer mindset that most of these types possess.

Modern day lefties take a dim view of pets, farming and animal husbandry

Because it's largely incompatible with bughive living.

Its actually deeper and stupider.

It dates back to the early 00's and the justifacaton is that since animals can't consent? You can't eat/keep/use them in any way. To do so is just abuse/slavery/rape.

I think it was an outgrowth of militant veganism of the day.

Anyway, it got folded into the lefty hive mind and has been part of every activist cause it can support since then. "think of the poor animals" is used to try and make you do everything from not eating meat to living in "walkable" cities with pods and bugs.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

The militant veganism of the day was itself just an offshoot of the general hysterics driven environmentalism of the nineties driven by such dross as An Inconvenient Truth and other similar brain dead panic mongering beliefs.

Theres pictures of old roman roads with step stones in between the cart tracks. So you could cross the road without stepping in giant muddy shit piles.

Well do they happen to praise Mackinac Island for being carless and horde only? You'd feel an unique tourist town would be their ideal location.

AFAIK most people in big urban areas during the Horse Era didn't own a horse, since they had nowhere to keep it. If you were wealthy, you had a horse and carriage at the ready because you could afford stable space either on your property, or elsewhere. r/fuckcars niggas are pro Horse Era but would not be pro-carriage since it would interfere with their gay bicycle stuff and also they'd hit a big steaming horseplop with their front tire and flip their bike over.

The rural poor would also typically own a horse, donkey, mule, or ox to use as a beast of burden and to assist with farm work such as plowing and sowing, assuming that they were commercial farmers of course. Subsistence farmers typically had no need for such an animal and would typically own a cow as their one large animal.

Well yes, but I was thinking mostly of the Victorian Era and things that urbanists would care about. Urbanists don't really care what happens to rural people, although I guess they'd be upset about country bumpkins driving their big draught horses into the city to go shopping.

Why do you NEED a Clydesdale? My tiny pony pulls a wagon just fine! Most of those Percherons never even see a harness, humph!

Which, ironically, is the exact reason why American car culture and the automobile as a whole first got its cultural and economic toehold in rural America. The car just made it infinitely more convenient to run into town or hop on over to the neighbor's.
