This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

When we had time to chat with people on the way, to see the children playing outside safely, to meet smiling people despite the hardness of life...

To socialize through public roads, quite simply

But the merchants have created in us the desire to have these big steel quadrupeds (which are getting bigger and bigger) to ride alone...

And now humans cannot collectively escape this conditioning...

in some places we even see cars parked on the sidewalk without significant action from authorities. The dominated are always humiliated.

What to do when you don't fit into the norms of a deeply unjust society?

Are the methods used by Extinction Rebellion ultimately the right ones ?

My neighbor behind me is a single dad with one kid but drives a full size Yukon or some shit. He HAS a driveway, but refuses to use it and parks perfectly square on the sidewalk instead.

He also parks by flooring it down the main residential, whipping it around the corner and slamming the brakes on the sidewalk. Thought he was in a rush the first time. Nope, he does it every. Single. Time.
