Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn’t expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.

      Please please tell me you understand why it’s not okay to call someone brain damaged for starting a conversation about the nuances of the fuck cars ideology.

      What is your end goal? This attitude and lack of basic human respect is not going to do anything but generate hostile conversation. I’m on your side ideologically but tanj… this is not a healthy way to communicate those ideas.

      Even if they’re asking in bad faith, it would be much more useful to be able to read well thought out reasons as to why they’re wrong, because comments like this aren’t going to communicate why we will almost always need to use cars for niche applications. (Transporting construction materials and workers to remote areas, for establishing wind farms, etc.)

        It’s not about the cars, unfortunately. The user noticed a specific line of attack that the community was vulnerable to and exploited it.

        It’s not an actually reasonable position. It sounds emotionally like a belief someone could hold, which is what made it so effective, but the logic of their replies is what gives them away. They are not actually making reasoned, rational arguments about how this could be done, nor are they fairly addressing their critics.

        If not inoculated against this behavior by learning how to specifically not engage with trolling behavior, this community is doomed to lose to it eventually. The trolls always win once you let them in. They enjoy this process and find it a pleasurable recreational activity, even though nobody else does.

        You poked some kind of hornets nest!

        People on here like, “oh, I don’t find this movement welcoming enough”.

        Movement!? This is a fucking discussion board 😂

        And people are too sensitive to interact with someone with a different point of view. I mean, judging by the vote counts we are very outnumbered, yet they feel so threatened?

        I’m just looking some one goddamned place online to enjoy grassy trams and dump on cars. FFS…
