Canadians should NOT be talking about busses.The myth of unsafe public transit is about to be deboonked once and for all.

(Admittedly, I am not at all familiar with the Highway of Tears. I'll take his context at face value.)
The gist of the argument is: Because of the abductions on this highway, it's less risky for the Indigenous Canadians to take a buss than to hitchhike with strangers. Therefore, public transit is safer than private transportation. Carbrains will eternally cope and seethe.
Some snippets:

If they never caught the abductors, I'm not really sure how you'd know that they were racist whiteys. Let's not worry about that. What's important is that highways are racist.

Uh oh carcucks, a heckin' survey! You've just been SCIENCE'D!
(It doesn't help that despite including five citations below this, none of them actually seem to include the poll he's talking about. My best guess is the poll was in the fourth link. Unfortunately, it has 404'd, and I could not find an archived copy.)

Well, it isn't just cars that are to blame. It's also racism and capitalism. I'm not exactly sure why cars are tainted by the racist influence of the white devil while busses are immune.
View attachment 5940880
Oh, never mind. Cars are actually a good thing, as long as we give them to Indigenous folx for free.
View attachment 5940890
Offended, carbrains?
In conclusion, I think it's hard to argue. In order to stop white colonialism from killing Indigenous folx in Canada, carbrains need to check their privilege and embrace public transit.

Injuns should stop abducting each other, that would work more than any amount of transit.

This CreatureXXII guy is oddly obsessed with Godzilla.
Links to some of his posts about Godzilla in the fuckcars subreddit:

He wrote fanfiction on the fuckcars subreddit about Godzilla eating all the evil carbrains.

It's worth reading the whole thing, but some highlights:
"Annoyed by the noise, pollution, ecological devastation, and imbalance that automobiles are doing to the Earth, Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, emerges from the depths of the ocean to deal with these "pests" once and for all! Upon landing on the shores of cities that have been infested with automobiles, Godzilla, determined to eradicate these pests, picks up these tin cans one by one and swallows them whole, sending these metal death machines down his throat and into his stomach where they will no longer hurt anyone or harm the environment anymore.
"Some of these cars were relatively easy to swallow, others not so much. Any automobile larger than what the humans call a Fiat 500L proves somewhat difficult for the King of the Monsters to swallow. But with enough effort and determination, Godzilla swallowed even the largest, oversized pickup truck whole, removing the metal menace from the streets.
"While most humans made the rational choice to abandon their cars upon sighting Godzilla—because of self-imposed traffic jams as cars are the least efficient mode of transportation—others stubbornly stuck to their cars, determined to go down with their car even if it meant getting eaten by Godzilla. And got eaten they did.
"For these souls who have been experiencing Stockholm Syndrome from their automobile, their journey inside Godzilla was surreal. They and their cars slid down Godzilla's throat, getting covered in slick saliva before entering the kaiju's vast belly, landing upon a pile of automobiles.
"Hundreds of automobiles lay within Godzilla's enormous belly, with most being relatively intact with their occupants alive and well. However, some still refuse to vacate their cars, believing in the false notions that cars equal safety and protection.
"From the outside, Godzilla continues with his raid, purging the cars from the city one by one. The media and government officials advise citizens to abandon their cars unless they want to get eaten by the King of the Monsters.
"People on the outside feared the worst—imagining the horrific experiences that people who were swallowed whole along with their cars by Godzilla must be going through. Thinking about how they were being slowly melted down and digested alive by the King of the Monsters.
"Luckily, that wasn't the case, for Godzilla was after the cars who brought imbalance to the world, not the lost, misguided souls who had been brainwashed by them.
"Thankfully for these lost souls, Titanus Gojira lacks a functional digestive system for he has evolved past consuming organic material as he absorbs radiation from the surrounding environment. Rather, Godzilla's stomach is nothing more than a large, organic chamber filled to the brim with automobiles.
"Some people who had been swallowed by Godzilla eventually vacated their cars, climbing out from the sea of cars that littered Godzilla's insides. Only upon witnessing how cars litter the large space which is Godzilla's stomach did they realize how cars litter the landscape they love. Littering cities, national parks, recreational centers, everything!
"Eventually, the former car owners gathered in a section of Godzilla's stomach that's free from cars, realizing how much space cars take up compared to themselves.
"While nobody knew how long they would be imprisoned in Godzilla's stomach, by climbing out of their metal shell and talking to each other face to face, they realized that their prison was not Godzilla's body, but their cars.
"Cars have sentenced them to solitary confinement, striping them of interpersonal relationships, dividing their communities, psychologically tormenting them through a dull, meaningless existence, and destroying cities worse than from any rogue kaiju attack. They may be a prisoner within Godzilla, but they're free!
"Days turned to weeks, and weeks would turn to months as it would take some time for the people still in their cars while in Godzilla's stomach to abandon their vehicles. But they would eventually capitulate, realizing that they could not stay in their car for any longer.
"Pickup truck drivers are the last to abandon their vehicle, stubbornly sticking to their oversized yet impractical trucks. But they too would open their eyes and see the light, seeing the errors of their ways as true freedom is being able to walk on your own two feet.
"Godzilla notices that his passengers have vacated their vehicles and swims towards the nearest shore. Upon landing on shore, the King of the Monsters regurgitates the people he has swallowed, letting them go from their confinement within his belly as the humans are safe, unharmed, but changed people.
"The former captives of Godzilla showed no hatred or animosity towards the kaiju, for he freed them from their true captors. He has freed them from the metal shell that encompassed their body. He has freed them from the psychological barriers that stood in the way of interpersonal relationships. Godzilla has freed them from the domination, occupation, subjugation, and imprisonment that automobiles have brought upon the Earth.
"With his belly pets free, Godzilla swims down to his lair on the ocean floor where he regurgitates the contents of his stomach, burying the automobiles in the thick layers of the Earth's crust where they belong. Returning the metal back to the Earth, and restoring balance.
"One researcher mentioned once how humanity is Godzilla's pet—which is true of course—but as with any responsible pet owner, it's their duty to eradicate any parasites that were harming them. And the parasite that was harming humanity and planet Earth are cars.
"However, humans are stubborn creatures, refusing to give up their outdated, obsolete ways for a fictional reality where cars somehow equal freedom. It's a delusional position with many calling this illness that infects homosapiens "Chronic Carbrain Disorder."
"However, a journey through Godzilla's body seems to be the cure to CCD as most who end up in Godzilla's belly end up abandoning their cars so that they can experience true freedom.
"Godzilla would continue to raid car-infected cities, gobbling up automobiles one by one as he sought to restore balance to the Earth, a balance that had been disturbed by automobiles. Eventually, the humans, as stubborn as they are would adapt, opting for a car-free lifestyle where they can experience true liberation, overthrowing the oppressive grip of their metal overlords with some help from Godzilla.
"Eventually, parasites would be eradicated from the Earth and balance would be restored. With the world in natural order, the massive kaiju would retreat to his lair beneath the waves with the knowledge that the greatest threat and illegitimate ruler of Earth had been defeated. For there can only be one true King of the Monsters, Godzilla!"

87% of riders feeling safe doesn't seem incredibly high to me. What's making 13% of riders feel unsafe? (insert obvious joke here) For example, if I had to take an average bus every day I'd be feeling unsafe once every 2 weeks.

I'm not sure if they'd really go that far. I mean, there is a charity in Texas that's gotten some bigger press (archive) that donates cars to poor people, namely black and Latino people.
Whatever GBP that's worth to lefties, that's washed out because it's in Texas, it's Christian, and the founder literally studied in automotive engineering, plus the fact that it supports research that cars can help the working poor have better access to wealth generation (a fact that even The Atlantic reported in 2014, but something that Reddit will vehemently deny).

Anyone who has been ass-poor knows that a fucking clunker car is worth it but also annoying expensive with random repairs; especially if you don’t have the ability or friends who can help fix it.
The fixed costs of a paid off hoopta are surprisingly low; which helps during period of unemployment.

The charity does pay for repairs and maintenance for the first year but they're all mostly new cars which means that doing something monumentally stupid or a freak accident, maintenance and repair is negligible.
The idea that cars help provide access people to higher-paying jobs and a higher quality of life doesn't seem to be up for debate in mainstream society but I'm sure that these weirdos probably will argue otherwise.

Great, I love hearing my neighbors arguments or them being a horrible musician on whatever musical instrument they have.
BTW...the lady with a farm is not in a rural area. At best she is in some urban green space. Rural is about 20 to 30 minutes from there.
The answer is drugs. These feather Indians probably had some sort of drug addition and moved to the big city to be closer to their supply or get away from their community that looks down upon them. No amount of public transpiration will help such persons. They WANT to shoot up in some drug den in Toronto or somewhere where upon they are sexually exploited.
Hell, even the Indians admit its a significant problem.
All this reeks of the same hysteria about mass child graves near Canadian residential schools.

You know...all these urbanists videos are so focused on how single-family houses are bad and how apartments are good, they never address the existing problems of apartments, like all new construction is paper-thin walls, how predatory the myriad of lease agreements, fees, deposits, and fines are, how even if they can't pick and choose who they want anymore, they could at least start building better and build what residents want to see.
For instance, since they seem to like gathering places, what if an apartment building had an English-style pub inside the building, but just for residents? (it's not a new idea--some places did this in the 1960s and 1970s). The other page from the past is that a lot of apartments had architectural themes and naming to go along with it. Why live in another five-over-one called "The Creekmont" when you could live in an apartment complex themed after an alpine ski resort?

Damn it, just think of the children who are old enough to be outdoors without parental supervision yet still crawl around in the middle of a parking lot right in front of an SUV whose engine is running. You carbrained chuds are literally genociding these kids

Their argument is something to the effect of "don't 3 year olds have a right to wander the streets unsupervised?!?!?! Think of the children chuddie!!!!!" Gosh, I wonder why redditors want to have unsecured kids wandering thr street.
My eyes always glaze over when I see redditors pull the "for da keedz!!!!" argument. "For the children!" is almost always a grating argument to respond to, but I can at least buy the sincerity of the school board moms actually reproducing and raising their kids properly when they do it. Redditors champion troons, child vaccinations, and draw queen story hour. They spend hours on r/childfree and r/antinatalism bemoaning the state of the world and coping that foregoing children and cooming just makes logical sense with climate change. I'm absolutely convinced the only reason the argument comes out of their rotten cockholsters is because Jason and Chuck Moron put it there.
Just a reminder because I'm almost sure fuckcars reads this thread now. The neighborhood Chuck lives in is right next to a state highway and one of those stroads you bemoan so much. Jason has so much tech and YouTube money he can afford to live in the few nice white(ish) places in the world that can fund this little science experiment. These people are either flagrantly hypocritical or so out of touch that their experience is effectively inapplicable to your own.

The women in this case are prostitutes hopping into bed with a trucker they just met.
Protip to avoid becoming a murder statistic: don't be a prostitute.
How would buses help this? Stupid.

Not even, the majority of missing and murdered Native women never make it off the reserve. The previous Tory government commissioned a big study on it after having their arm twisted by Native advocacy groups, who immediately got SUPER pissed when it revealed the vast majority of perps were other Natives. It's just cooler to make it seem like there's some haunted highway out there, instead of 'yeah she's probably scattered bone shards in the woods right outside the reserve'.
The guy who posted this is a creepy vore fetishist though, so maybe he knows a bit too much about a couple of those missing girls...

/r/fuckcars gets mad at election leaflets promising to scrap ULEZ if elected. They really don't like being reminded that ULEZ is about as popular with voters as the poll tax.
I'm not sure why /r/fuckcars is so pro-ULEZ, since it encourages people to scrap their older cars in favour of newer ones. One of their own talking points is that newer cars are larger on average and therefore pose a greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists. A Nissan Micra from 2000 would have to pay a charge while a BMW iX wouldn't. The long-term effect of ULEZ will be less sedans and hatchbacks on London roads and more SUVs.
Also note that one of the leaflets also talks about improving public transport. They don't get that opposing ULEZ isn't a "carbrain" move, it's a "I don't want to buy a new car and be financially ruined or keep my old one and be financially ruined anyway" move.
