You can’t cherry pick because the name of the comm is FuckCars. Not FuckICECarsInCities

That’s the problem with sweeping generalisations. They are undefendable

using a 4,000lb. luxury machine to cart a 185lb -

Again cherry picking to paint convenient target for a broad statement.

Ah, so your issue is with the branding, not the substance of the argument. Fine, cars are not luxury goods, even though most car commercials sell them as such.

My issue is with the people being completely out of it and hating something that replaced horse. Animal labour hello, wanna it back? Fucking westernoids with brain rotten from laziness will find dumbest of things to have a problem with.

Another one is odd misguided yearning for imaginary communism that was long ago wholly deconstructed by scholars who every single one became liberal again

Please discuss points that you disagree with, ask questions, and listen to others. Criticism and disagreement is healthy and welcome in this community but ad hominem attacks on people and petty name-calling are not. It was clear that you were arguing in bad faith. I prefer not to do this, but I decided to ban you for 1 week.
