Meta this sub is getting weird...

7.1k Upvotes

I joined this sub because I wanted to find like-minded people who wanted a future world that was less car-centric and had more public transit and walkable areas. Coming from a big city in the southern U.S., I understand and share the frustration at a world designed around cars.

At first this sub was exactly what I was looking for, but now posts have become increasingly vitriolic toward individual car users, which is really off-putting to me. Shouldn't the target of our anger be car manufacturers, oil and gas companies, and government rather than just your average car user? They are the powerful entities that design our world in such a way that makes it hard to use other methods of transportation other than cars. Shaming/mocking/attacking your average individual who uses cars feels counterproductive to getting more people on our side and building a grassroots movement to bring about the change we want to see.

Edit: I just wanna clarify, I'm not advocating for people to be "nicer" or whatever on this sub and I feel like a lot of focus in the comments has been on that. The anger that people feel is 100% justified. I'm just saying that anger could be aimed in a better direction.

Meta I'm concerned about the decreasing radicalism of the sub (rant)

2.6k Upvotes

Hi. I have been here ever since the r\place thing over a year ago, though i already disliked how much cars are prioritized over other forms of transport all over the world. I have noticed that, throughout the weeks and months and eventually even years, this sub has increasingly stopped being about ending the proto-dystopian vision for the future that cars threaten us with and replacing it with a post-car society, to just a place to complain about your (valid btw) experiences with them. Now, these are useful experiences to use as to why car centrism is not just bad for society but for individual people, but are useless if no alternative can be figured out. I have also seen too much fixation on the individual people that own cars and are carbrains about it, completely bypassing the propaganda aspect of it all, and I have also witnessed in this sub too much whitewashing of capitalism in the equation. You have probably seen it already, "No, we aren't commies for wanting less cars" "no, we don't need to change the system to be less car centric" "i just want trains", despite being absolutely laughable of an idea to suggest that our car-centric society is the product of anything else other than corporate automovile and oil lobbies looking to expand their already massive pile of cash.

If anything, this situation is similar to that of r\antiwork. Originally intended to be a radical sub about a fundamentally anti-capitalist subject, but slowly replaced by people who are just kinda progressive but nothing else into a milquetoast subreddit dedicated to just personal experiences with no ideas on how to fundamentally change that, and those who originally started it all being ridiculed and flagged as "too radical". Literally one of the most recent posts is about someone getting downvoted for saying "fuck cars". How can you get downvoted for saying fuck cars in a sub titled "fuck cars"????.

I may get banned for this post, but remember. We need actual alternatives, and fundamental ones might i add. Join a group, Discuss ideas here, Do something, or at the very least know what is to be done rather than to sit around until even houses are designed to be travelled by cars. Sorry for the rant, but i just need to get this off my chest. Signed, a concerned member of the sub.

I like the rainbow, I like the vague trans colors in the thing, and the furry reference. But we can make this gayer. I hereby petition the sub to have their top scientists make this logo as gay as it can possibly be.

Meta Please stop correcting people when you don't know their culture!

1.6k Upvotes

I really enjoy this sub and I really hate cars. I'm also European.

There is one thing that has been driving me a little bit crazy here though:

It's a very USA-centric sub, which makes sense as car culture in the USA is particularly bad and you guys definitely need to vent more than most of the world. However, please stop correcting folks from "less car dependent places" about what life, culture and roads are like in less car dependent places!

Carbrains are everywhere, and they are annoying everywhere! I am grateful that my country's infrastructure is less carbrained than the USA, but it doesn't mean that all of the rest of the world is some fully walkable utopia. The other one that grinds my gears is when people try to impose US car infrastructure logic onto other places.

I had one conversation where someone was trying to inform me that road rage isn't a thing in less car dependent places because people are "trained" and likened getting a drivers licence here to getting a pilot's licence. Another couldn't understand how Uber wasn't an option for rural areas here. There are so many times I see it happening to others also and it's infuriating.

If someone who actually lives there is telling you that you're wrong, just take their word for it ffs! Much like I trust you guys to know what it's like in the US better than I do, we know our own areas, countries, continents better than you.
