/r/fuckcars discusses the difficulty of keeping friends as a car-hater:

The "n-no, you're the deranged cultists, not me" behavior on display is palpable. There are ways you can not drive a car and not come off as an extremist hippie or mental case, but of course these aren't acceptable options for these people.

I guarantee that if any of these stories actually happened or were anything close to what was described, it was because the person in question was being an insufferable asshole and not so much their car-hating beliefs.
 
The troons of /r/fuckcars are mad that Kansas requires their driver's licenses to match their sex:

I think what makes urbanists particularly insufferable is that they have embraced a fringe lifestyle choice, but one that requires the compliance of society as a whole to be realized. Vegan hippies can practice permaculture on a small plot of land and accept that their way of living won't extend far beyond them. Communists can spend time on a commune or be a WWOOFer and be pretty happy with the results. These motherfuckers on the other hand can't be satisfied unless everybody's tax money is being properly diverted to punishing car owners and building bike lanes everywhere. It doesn't shock me that they find it hard to keep friends when their entire worldview is based on forcing everyone else to conform to it.

The one actual non-driver doesn't understand how the modern liberal mind works. It's not about whether something is right or wrong, it's that they don't want YOU to have access to it. It's the same sort of thing where they'll gladly go along with every gun control measure because guns are bad and scary until some politician has some idea that trans people shouldn't own guns, at which point the troons flip and go full SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, even if they've been along with it the whole time.

Granted, it is a little strange to interrogate someone for not driving. I'd only start getting "nasty" about it if the fucker was late to somewhere because he refused to drive.

Then again, this implies a redditor is telling a true story

It's kinda funny because Britannica Politica's documentaries to literal war torn countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, every time they still have a bunch of people drive, and not even low-tier cars either, just kinda mid-tier. Which is made even more bizarre by the fact that they're able to afford them with 1 income per family (women aren't allowed to work) and still be able to own a house on top of that. Like, what the fuck. Are taxes on cars like 90% of the price or something?

Communism at least has a framework and the understanding that things would be a bit different. I have never, EVER, seen a realistic approach at how a "car free society" would work without compromising the entire way modern logistics work. They either ignore it or make some ridiculous handwave that won't actually work ("oh, so the grocery stores take too long to be restocked? People can grow their own food, it will be healthier!"). I think the guy who made the "what if vehicles were restricted to 30 mph everywhere" video (or something along those lines) made some claim like that.

What about making city streets only for transporting goods and public transport and increase the speed limit now that only professionals can use it, with private cars only being allowed in the ringroad and overhead highways with the points to get off leading directly to parking garages which neatly allow you to go straight to the metro or a bus stop? That's at least how I would plan it if some big nosed nigga came to me and told me to design a car free city. Obviously this relies on all niggers being kicked out, the public transport not being overpriced dogshit and the parking garages having enough space to place all them cars so it's definitely not perfect.

The other problem is that in recent years in America we've been handing out CDLs to every fresh-off-the-boat immigrant, and those people are often dangerous to pedestrians, even through sheer incompetence.

Also if you're talking about getting rid of the undesirables then either your society won't work or you'll end up solving the problems you do have either way.

City streets are a tight grid with frequent stopping and turning. You can't really make that 'high speed'. Your idea is basically how cities are 'supposed' to work now and the problems you listed are why they don't.

It would be nice if I could drive to a parking lot and then have a bus take me wherever I needed to go, without worrying about having to squeeze down some back alley and park in a loading zone, but doing that would add cost and time and danger to my shopping trip.

These are the people who, when rural folk point out they have no mass transit option and aren't likely to ever have it?

Bluntly say "move to a city, then"

As if it's that easy, or even desired, and of course, in complete ignorance of where the food is going to come from if all the farmers are herded into the cities......"duh, Whole Foods! Where it always comes from!"

It really is a luxury ethos that can only survive off the plenty that the very system they want destroyed can produce.

And if they ever got their way? The rapid and inevitable breakdown of, well, basically everything, would be chalked up to subversives and haters sabotaging it, not the fact that society is the way it is because it works, and if your ideas truly were better? We'd have adopted them long ago.

I've often said, and maybe I even said it pages and pages ago, but. Liberal "success" is measured not in people uplifted, in jobs created, in average people made happy, but in people penalized, jobs taken, and society tightly micromanaged so that you shalt not suffer a wrongthinker's happiness right in front of you. No one will live the wrong way and get away with it.

Which is why they can flip on a dime like that and be for what they were against the other day.

They aren't in it for a group, they're in it for the ability to gatekeep, someone, anyone, as a means to validate themselves.

They see no contradiction in that behavior, they're still in charge, they're still holding the rulebook, they're still the elite, so what if the target changed? Targets change all the time. That's how you win the war!
 
It's not just food, though. For all the yapping about "a waste of space" and "human-scaled", the vast majority of goods go through enormous warehouses both domestically and abroad, warehouses and the adjoining land that dwarf even the biggest retail stores.

The few times that these are ever addressed is some half-hearted whine as to why they aren't rail accessible despite several issues (space and logistics) it's not the case.

They even had the audacity to name their goon puppet after the lead designer of the Supermarine spitfire:
