Not Just Bikes / r/fuckcars / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

[Xarpho's Return]

Jason knows about this thread. Hi Jason!

I'm curious as to what exactly is "comments taken completely out of context". Of course that question will never be officially answered, but I'm leaning toward "shitty stuff I've stuff that rightfully paints myself as an asshole", like since-wiped tweets only supporting Tyre Extinguisher's terrorism.

/r/fuckcars user proves that you don’t need a truck to transport a fridge:

Besides how dangerous that is. Good look luck transporting that long distance. And never mind fridge 1.80 meters/5,9ft tall or more. Those things are bulky and heavy.

the fun really begins when you try to go uphill with the 100kg fridge on your bike lol

They’re not very safe:

And somehow deals with body roll worse than a 2CV, I would've thought that Citroen's design work had improved over the last 70 years.

Also the paternalistic "you can't always get what you want UWU" once again shows that this is not about sustainability, it's about control.

Moreso than anything I think they're just lonely but are completely unwilling to put the effort in to actually do anything about it, and as such they blame all their failures on the society they live in (thank you Rousseau, very cool) and want to change it because they believe that it will effectively force people to socialise with them.

untrue r/fuckcars seems to not hate vans as much as the truck

Because Vans are more popular in Europe therefore they're much better than the stupid American trucks, because as all Europeans know trucks and SUVs are a uniquely American phenomena and never idigenously developed in response to public demand.

So the system isn't being used enough to justify costs, partially because people ride bikes, so they scale it back, and you get mad because your taxes ARENT being wasted??? r/fuckcars truly are euro weebs

They think induced demand is real. Like that you can invest whatever amount of money you want into transit and ridership will just appear out of thin air, and if you build more roads they will just fill up with more car traffic. It's the same reason why Tulsa keeps running copious amounts of empty buses. Induced demand doesn't apply in Tulsa and neither does it apply in Amsterdam because it's a retarded concept that makes no sense.

Believe it or not, when given the choice between a car or a bus, most choose the car where they're safe from crackhead. Literally personal preference.

Its kinda funny how urbanists rarely discuss this.

We should have walkable cities with great public transportation. The reality is that you need law and order to do this. Japan has few crackheads and security to beat up crackheads if they appear.
Meanwhile US cities refuse to crack down on crackheads or put any kind of security near their public transit for some weird optics reason.

The buses in Amsterdam don't have crackheads, but it turns out when you have a bike and good bike network or a car and don't have to rely on a schedule and can just go wherever you want to go, you won't want to take the bus.

Jason Slaughter always harps on about how transit is bad because of cars and buses get stuck in traffic in car dependent countries, and never admits that sometimes public transit just fundamentally can't compete on time because they have to make stops and don't always go everywhere. I'd love to see how he spins Amsterdam scaling back unused bus service.

Ever since George Floyd died of fentanyl, it's gotten worse with people rioting, defunding the police and just generally simping for criminals as Louis Rossmann puts it.

Urbanists will cream their pants over Europe or Japan but never discuss crime (ie why Europe and Japan are clean, safe and walkable) because they think it's racist.

You do not even need to be racist. Rwanda is obscenely clean and has less crime than many European countries just because they care more about regular productive people than crackhead optics.

Even without crackheads, you're right on time. Buses break down, get stuck in traffic, shocking, I know. Same with bikes ironically enough, they still have to obey road laws.

why Europe and Japan are clean, safe and walkable

Try walking in South London and see what happens.

Whoops, shouldn't have generalized. Any part of Europe that is migrant-friendly isn't safe, I agree.

I’m kinda late responding to this but I thought I should make this observation:

WHY DO RICH PEOPLE LOVE QUIET?​

The sound of gentrification is silence.

New york in the summer is a noisy place, especially if you don’t have money. The rich run off to the Hamptons or Maine. The bourgeoisie are safely shielded by the hum of their central air, their petite cousins by the roar of their window units. But for the broke—the have-littles and have-nots—summer means an open window, through which the clatter of the city becomes the soundtrack to life: motorcycles revving, buses braking, couples squabbling, children summoning one another out to play, and music. Ceaseless music.

White Noise, White Silence: Who Gets to Be Loud in Today’s America?​

Kelly Coyne on “the Sonic Color Line”​

By Kelly Coyne

---

December 17, 2020

In August, a tweet from comedian Randy Rainbow resurfaced, sparking controversy: “Why is it OK to call it a ‘white noise’ machine, yet offensive to say that I bought it to drown out all the ‘black noise’ in my building?” At the end of June, a white woman was recorded shouting at her new neighbors for being noisy, calling them the n-word even though they were white. And in mid-June, in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, Donald Trump tweeted “THE SILENT MAJORITY IS STRONGER THAN EVER!!!” These instances are only a few in a long line of events this year that demonstrate an American myth that intertwines white dominance with silence.

Isn't liking silence or quiet associated with White Supremacy?

Hell, don't bother with you White mans science since their is no objective truth.

Liking quiet is just being human, i can go anywhere on the planet and find someone who does. We don't need the entire planet to be Manhattan, where the only speck of green is central park. Get in the car, and drive to a meadow, a valley, a mountain, and just get away from it. Hell just going to a small forgotten town and staying a day could open up a whole new world. Maybe they make really good Philly cheesesteaks, or have a monument or natural landmark there. You won't know until you look

This stuff about urban liberals having this weird dislike of the quiet of nature really hammers home what Uncle Ted said about these people being oversocialized from urbanization.

A video of someone struggling to take their groceries home with a rental scooter:

The video is likely staged, but /r/fuckcars took it seriously (maybe because they unironically do the same thing as the guy in the video):

It’d be even easier with a car.
