This all is far more fundamental than your musings.

Growing populations, limited resources, human nature for consumption....

We don't have the option of turning back the clock, we can not live like we did 20 years ago, or 50 years ago... even if we ditched everything we have today for what we had back then, what we had back then was just as destructive to the earth as our situation today and would have hit the same problems if we had stopped all advancement.

Until global start dropping, technology advancement is the only way to move the limits of consumption. We cannot simply ask people to consume less, they will refuse.

Once populations start dropping, then things can change.

Ok, eco-fascist.

Lol, I love it when idiots with fewer children than I do call me an eco fascist for stating obvious realities.

The population is going to drop, we're seeing the effects of overpopulation right now and people don't want to have children in it.

This isn't any sort of government plan or policy, it's just people being realistic about the quality of life they and their children will have.

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.
