I wonder if we should tell them how much brake wear their precious trains have. Or how bad busses are on a relative basis due to their low average load factors. Or the vehicles delivering their precious bicycle parts, or food./r/fuckcars' take on the Telsa riot:

Well there is one other notable leader that I know who travels by train, but that is Kim Jong UnThe left can't meme:

mail tickets are one step closer to fully automated street cameras everywhere which is literally 1984.Some urbanists don't like the consequences of #DefundThePolice:

The fact that they think speed cameras are a replacement for traffic stops shows that they only care about stealing money from drivers, not safety. If someone is driving dangerously, they should be pulled over for the safety of everyone else on the road. Only a cop can do that, not a camera. All the camera does is raise money for the government whenever someone goes 31 mph in a 30 mph zone.

Of course they were, that's why cutting night service is unfathomable because these people are always addicts.Walking on 4th avenue in Belltown looking for beer
Not just that, cyclists do the whole "low-level traffic violations" stunt all the goddamned time. In a way this makes cyclists equal to vehicles.Some urbanists don't like the consequences of #DefundThePolice:
And then we get 1985 “reeeeeeeee the cop cameras keep mailing me tickets for rolling through stop signs on my bike rreeeeeeeee racism!”mail tickets are one step closer to fully automated street cameras everywhere which is literally 1984.
Misunderstandings of the purpose of rules and laws like this are the best indicator that we're moving from a high-trust to a low-trust society. In a high-trust society, it would be understood the purpose of these rules is promoting a more stable, peaceful society. We have human beings enforcing those laws because most humans inherently understand that going 35mph in a 30mph zone or rolling a stop sign at 3 am is a detriment to pretty much no one, at least not by itself. In a low-trust society, the rules are nothing more than a means to some personal end. A cudgel that you pick up to bludgeon your opponents that is discarded just as quickly. They don't care that you broke a rule, they didn't like you from the jump and they're using the rule as an excuse, a paper-thin justification for their actions against you.The fact that they think speed cameras are a replacement for traffic stops shows that they only care about stealing money from drivers, not safety.

My only real problem with that vid is that it ignores all the other factors to pin it on CAFE, when the same issue is starting to appear in other countries that don't have a CAFE style or any fuel economy standards.A cartoon called Common Sense Soap box acknowledged the fuckcars pictures comparing Kei trucks to medium duty pickup trucks
So it's the government's fault I can't buy the modern equivalent of a late 90's Toyota Tacoma or find a hybrid light pickup. *shakes fist*
I'm a bit half and half on some of the points made, but mostly what I wanted to highlight was that he brought up that comparison image fuckcars always reaches for to say "see see, the bed sizes are the same".My only real problem with that vid is that it ignores all the other factors to pin it on CAFE, when the same issue is starting to appear in other countries that don't have a CAFE style or any fuel economy standards.
That and the 'ummm acktually' reddit style presentation is annoying as hell as soon as you notice the claim is weak af.
Speed cameras also don't have professional judgment which includes cops not pulling people over for going 10 over the limit.mail tickets are one step closer to fully automated street cameras everywhere which is literally 1984.
I assume this is the theory that LA's iconic trams were scrapped because Ford/GM had spent on a lot of money on shit tier busses no one wanted, so they bought the LA tram system, scrapped them, and replaced the fleet with the bad busses no one liked.The fucking gottam "Los Angeles Streetcar" conspiracy that they get from a fucking Roger Rabbit movie being the primary example of this. But they miss that the Pacific Electric railway (Red Car) was a privately owned mass transit system and was obviously in serious decline before it was bought and scrapped.
"Why did COVID and online do this?" -Urbanists, probably.Exactly. This is how downtowns started to decline. Why would anyone go downtown when the suburbs have the exact same sort of thing?
It's why I stopped using the local metro. The drivers would go on strike any time there was an event like a football match or a concert, or a train that runs every 10 minutes would just not turn up for over an hour."No buses or trains will run to and from the factory between Thursday and Sunday because of the anticipated protests."
Well gee, it sure sounds like mass transit is inherently inferior when it can be shut down at the drop of a hat like that. Not because of any physical impairment like a bridge going down or a crash in the middle of a road, but purely because of socio-political pressure.
They call them Retail Parks in the UK. (Or at least where I live)Europe does in fact have big box stores and parking lots.
It basically gets it ass-backwards; the busses had already won when the streetcars were bought and scrapped.I had no idea it was a conspiracy theory, or that it was from Roger Rabbit of all things. Will have to keep an eye out for it when I never see that movie
I'm trying to find the motive. They claim it's because the factory expansion will damage the environment, but they ignore the coal mines just down the road. They set fire to cars which is more damaging to the environment, and cut power to the region inconveniencing many. I'm yet to see an actual grievance, and a reason for why now? They enter "negotiations", but what are their demands?CALLING ALL KIWIS! THE URBANISTS HAVE STORMED THE TESLA FACTORY!
I agree but would add that people who don't return their carts are subhuman filth, but Cart Narc somehow figured out how to be worse.I get shit for it every single time I mention the Cart Narcs, but I maintain his behavior is peak low-trust society. Hide behind some obscure inconsequential law or social more, ruthlessly exploit for YouTube dollery-doos and clicks all while maintaining your smug self-satisfaction. If you are ever criticized, duck behind it for cover and pretend no bro, I'm totally concerned about the scourge that is [people not returning carts/people parking in the bike lane/whatever dumb bullshit]. You wanna sell some t-shirts and hats fine, but the least you could do is be honest that it's an act.
They don’t want it to expand. That’s it I believe.Sorry for almost double post, but I want to ask about the "protesters" storming the Telsa factory in Germany that was talked about a couple pages back, and too my surprise this is the only thread talking about it. This event here.

I also can't find what they're trying to achieve. They storm the factory and ...what? The Naruto run raid on Area 51 had a better plan than this.
