At least in my car, I’m guaranteed to not run into weirdos or gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society.
Unfortunately, we are completely surrounded by gross conditions caused by ill adjusted members of society. Those individuals just happen to be in the government.
Unfortunately that falls under a different category. Fuck cars is about advocating for good public transportation and making cities easy to enjoy without a car. You’re asking for better mental health care and services for the homeless. There are very few people that would actively do this type of thing if they had any other well lit up space they could do it.
If you are so scared of other people to the point that you refuse to use public transport then you are just paranoid. Crazy pictures and videos taken on public transport are just extreme examples, not the general everyday experience of using public transport.
How about advocating for better access to mental healthcare instead?
We had Obamacare (Affordable Care Act), then the fucking fascists partially dismantled it. Obamacare barely passed the filibuster, I doubt anything like that could ever pass again in this political climate. And even Obamacare didn’t solve everything, it’s not Universal Healthcare / Medicare for All. Until healthcare issues are fixed, “ban cars” is not a policy I’d support.
We not only have a climate threat, we also have a fascist threat. We can’t fix climate without getting rid of the support for fascism.
Tell me you weren’t paying attention to US politics in 2008-2010 (which were the two fucking years of nonstop backbreaking fucking effort it got the ACA to be passed) without telling me you weren’t paying attention.
The people at [email protected] need to advocate for these people to be banned before advocating for banning cars.
I actually don’t mind banning cars, I just can’t deal with being locked inside the same vehicle as a psychopath/sociopath.
I agree. I’m not going to advocate for public transportation if I take the risk of running into a weirdo like this, or even worse.

I like your username
You will still meet invalid beggars, burglars and dirty windshield washers when driving.
By invalid, I do not mean real invalid people but those who fake it with for example apparent urine bag and the like.
Keyword in their vehicle.
Yes, I’m quite used to the “crazies” outside of my own vehicle and home. Personally, I enjoy the privacy and independence a vehicle allows.

Don’t forget public transport robbers!
3rd world country person checking in, I feel safer on my car, especially when it is late at night.
That’s an opinion you can have if you want to I guess.
You have set an unreasonable high threshold for when it’s acceptable to want to change the situation.
If these people were driving, they’d be irresponsible and selfish in their cars too. Right now she’s just gross. In a car, she’s a dangerous weapon.
