The effects of the disaster were compounded by those cars in several ways, from climate change to almost every single surface in sight being paved with a material that can’t absorb water.
Hmm I’m seeing a lot of little Peugeots, Renaults and Seats in that pic.
Don’t think they did anywhere even close to as much climate damage as the selfish insecure cocksuckers in one country with their massive bloated SUVs and tiny-penis trucks
Floods used to happen before cars. The Biblical flood story was probably based on a real flood that wiped out a civilization.
Even within recorded history there have been floods not linked to modern (post-60’s, extinction-level) climate change.
Cars bad, yes. But if this had been 1000 years ago, this flood could still have occurred naturally, only the results would look more like a WWII carpet bombing, with much of the city flattened. And the most hilarious thing would be that there would have been done fucker saying, “this is God’s way of saying ‘fuck people’”.
It’s so laughable that in this day and age people run around saying “we have sinned, and are being punished for it! Repent!”
Agree with most of what you said, but one thing I’d emphasise is that whilst those kinds of natural disasters have happend throughout history, is the frequency of which they’re happening which is the concern.
You have storms which were once in a generation happening every 20 years or so now, and we’re the cause.
But if you can’t make that point without punching down at people who have literally just lost everything (and who are categorically not personally responsible for climate change), maybe don’t fucking make it.
Learn to punch up at the people actually to blame, otherwise all you are is part of the fucking problem.
When it comes from the fuck cars community, with the fuck cars hashtag, it’s siting on a high horse to point and laugh with schadenfreude at the victims of this flood.
It implies that people owning cars is to blame for the disaster they fell victim to, when cars are just one of many many symptoms of the actual problem, and the people who own them are generally just trying to survive under the system that is destroying the planet for profit (as well as victims of trillion dollar industries like the auto and oil, but also advertising and branding and sales), not the culprits of climate change. They don’t deserve the “I told you so”, they deserve solidarity and unity against those who are actually responsible, and are not only not losing a thing, but making millions by the minute for it.
So let me get this straight - you’ve built a strawman to convince yourself I’m a conservative gun nut, because I don’t think victim blaming people who have just had their lives fucked up by climate change isn’t funny or productive, because that’s easier for you than to think critically about your position and who really is to blame for this problem, and actually aim your anger at them, because they’re much bigger and scarier than the poor fucker in Spain who just lost everything. Is that about right?
Well done on successfully keeping the blame from where it belongs.
Haha, lets use this disaster that destroyed, and in many cases taken, people’s lives to further our agenda, haha…
Fucking gross.
Yeah how dare people use victims of climate change to push their ecological agenda! /s
Yes, actually. It’s ignorant, cold, and wrathful. The longer the yutes hold onto a punishment mentality the longer we have to live with fascism.

(A generation is about 20 years, though I get that you mean 80-100).
Once in a generation means within the lifespan of a generation, not till a new generation is born.
The agenda:
Can we stop fucking up the planet so this doesn’t happen?
Sure.
But if you can’t make that point without punching down at people who have literally just lost everything (and who are categorically not personally responsible for climate change), maybe don’t fucking make it.

Can you explain how this post is punching down? I honestly don’t see it.

It’s “fuck cars” not “fuck people who drive cars”
Obviously the average driver is not responsible for the societal reliance on cars.
Then maybe don’t use their suffering to make a smug point when there are plenty of other, better, ways to get your message across.
Well I didn’t make this post so I can’t really speak to the intent behind it.
But I don’t think that’s what this post is doing at all.
Topic: Mother cries as she leans over her late child’s coffin
Lemmy: Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if the murderer had access to better education and mental health
This is a meaningless strawman. I don’t see anyone saying things like this.

Fucking clown.
It’s too late they’ve depicted you as the soyjack
Wait, aren’t AR-pin wearers the opposite of that? 🤔(E: from their perspective of course, not that of reality lol)
Either way, it hurt itself in its confusion lmao
"Maybe these people wouldn’t be suffering from as much stress and financial hardship if they weren’t carbrained pieces of fucking shit!"
I honestly don’t know if this is sarcasm or genuine.
