I genuinely do not get the hate boner Reddit has for pickup trucks. Are they jealous they can't afford one? Are they scared of seeing a car bigger/taller than theirs? Are they just dumb kids repeating what each other says?
I drive a sedan so I'm not some butthurt truck owner. But by the same token, I drive a sedan and have never had an issue with someone else owning a truck. Just seems like an incredibly pointless thing to get upset about. And I have driven friends/relatives pickup trucks a few times and found them to be unobjectionable at worst and quite nice at best. Yes they are big and tall, but that just doesn't explain why so many people hate them. It gets even weirder when they, without fail, will start talking about truck owner's penises. Literally every single time they start dunking on trucks, they start talking about how big/small they imagine the driver's penis is.
Are they just bots? Coomers projecting their own insecurites? Urbanites who have never driven one? Euros who have never seen a truck IRL? I do not get why someone owning a car different from theirs is a problem for them.
It's a bunch of parrots who have taken a twice diluted faceful of cum from the radical environmentalists and don't even know it.
The legitimate argument this originates from is the radical concept that when you have 10,000 people per square mile everyone doesn't need a care; and this has been the basic premise of city planning for practically a fucking century.
It's inherited then by the "public transport infrastructure" argument, which is the better the public transport, the fewer the cars, the less money you actually end up spending, which is also, the basic premise of plenty of cities.
From here it morphs into a bit of a gestalt. The ultimate goal is literal bug world, cities with 10x population density pushed by WEF types but that's obscured by "car infrastructure is unsustainable" faggots whose entire job is to pin the natural space issues of bug world on the fact roads exist in these areas that take up space. Remove the car, everyone has to live in the city. Everyone gets in the pod. Less pollution. More nature. Nature you can never see. You get the idea.
Here's where it gets interesting; the left, although honestly it's more a "dragon of modernity" situation, has a genuine disdain for people who do ugly work. They have a genuine disdain for ugly people. Trucks doing their job are very ugly. The "city boy with a jacked up truck" meme has become a "well I hate all trucks" meme, all to return and push the idea that someone hauling 4 tons of mulch in a truck does not need the truck. Because they don't even consider the person in the car.
This all sounds quite radical, and it is. It kinda sounds fucking crazy. But when you talk to these people in person it becomes very clear they just assume all the arguments fall into place. Asphalt must be expensive and nonrenewable. Trains MUST be more efficient at moving people than cars. No one needs to ever move a great deal of material. They've been trained both to stay in a cage and to be proud of it.
That's why they always talk about dick size. They've inherited the joke about city boys with jacked up 2x4 trucks with slicked down tires getting stuck in a mud puddle and turned it into "Does your farm need mulch? Haha small dick"
