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

As a bit of an aside, do not let the Fuck Cars crowd learn about submarines and the conditions aboard them. With their obsession over efficiency, they'd cream their pants at the idea of building some towers with submarine-esque conditions and shoving as many people inside as they can.

If you're not hot bunking with a pajeet in your micropod you're literally killing the planet, chud.

Jason is back in Canada and is getting very angry at minor things.

He completely misunderstood a billboard and got outraged over it:

More and more I'm wondering how smart of a guy Jason actually is

Oh he's retarded, but not for his stance on cars. It's one of those big questions that gets people fired up, like 'communism v. capitalism' or 'chicken v. steak' where there isn't a wrong position, but there are many dumb positions. He's retarded for not taking three minutes to look at how much Canada depends on the energy sector, how much of Ontario's electricity is generated by fossil fuels and what exactly powers all those buses and subways he loves so much.

Incredibly dishonest comparison of why walking across the walmart parking lot is just as bad as going through the hassle of finding a street parking spot and walking 2 city blocks to a store.

And if you're walking to and fro the parking lot, wouldn't you get the "gym of life" benefits anyway?

"Truck culture" and people's dislike of BLM/climate protestors are the real reason why this attack occurred:

Don't believe the official deep state narrative about terrorist attacks being the result of radical Islamic jihadists. In actuality, vehicles are the real terrorists!

See? Look how the carbrained elite slip proofs (??? IDK my Q-anon skitzo terms) into children's comics & cartoons!

On a serious note, that is how FuckCars is coming across. Like the cars are hypnotizing people to run over pedestrian crowds, Maximum Overdrive-style.

Because that’s a YouTube short, it got recommended to normies and therefore the comments are mostly negative:










A lot of people pointed out that most of the Walmart route is shopping, not transit distance:

I love how there are people out there that lowkey believe non-animate items can possess people and change their desire to commit heinous crimes simply by using them or being in proximity. Sort of like the Japanese folklore that household items get possessed after X amount of years and will start fucking with you.

Most of those people are liberals or progressives, and liberals/progressives were quite complicit in normalizing plenty of degenerate shit, or other stuff to weaken society or the institution of the family.

It's much easier to talk about banning/regulating the popular murder weapons, than it is to get to the root problem. Because it would involve coming to terms with the fact that the rising crime and mental illness rates may be their own doing.

Yes, there is some dishonesty in that a lot know what the source of the problems are but cannot be honest about it. But a lot also are just followers that have come to associate X or Y with being the problem itself, like a sort of ideological Pavlov conditioning. Most people, after all, are not that smart regardless of political leaning. It's why for any real social change movements need good leaders or they just sort of mill about.

This guy didn’t even factor in that I forgot to pick up both butter and a roast, making me backtrack to two totally different locations in the store and effectively the same distance as hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Nah he always sucked. There was one where he "fixed" a somewhat squirrely intersection in Baton Rouge with two stoplights; the weasel tried to hide the location but I recognized it. His suggesting was basically a big traffic circle (without cucking the lanes) but traffic circles wouldn't work because of the volume; you'd basically have everyone slamming on their brakes all the time (and that's if you trusted Baton Rouge drivers, lol).

He already had anti-subdivision/single-family home videos up anyway by that time, and a more recent video of the same ilk suggests "fixing" an "overbuilt" road.

Personally, I find his video on the Van Aken District the most disingenuous. It was a defunct strip mall that was redeveloped into a mixed-use hipster district, but the lying dumbass acted like it was an active strip mall that was "allowed" to turn into a mixed-use district like "how cities develop" when of course it was a heavily planned, heavily subsidized redevelopment of a dead strip mall.

Where'd he support Kamala? I don't see it on any of his channels or social sites (but I'd believe it implicitly, I don't think there's a single urbanist channel that wasn't also talking about the dangers of Project 2025 and how great it's gonna be to have a heckin' bicycle-loving POC woman for prez).

Why you never bring up cars in a gun control argument:

This nigga would seriously advocate for not being able to own a hammer unless you were a licensed carpenter.

and actually putting some thought into the problem, which the overgrown children who advocate banning things are generally not capable of

It is a well known phenomenon, as shown in the following documentary:

A lot of the issues that we experience now are due to progressive/ liberal moral grandstanding. The whole issue with the crazies on the street was not mainly due to Reagan but the ACLU and it's court cases finding that mentally ill persons can reject treatment unless they are a severe danger to society or themselves.

People complain about Reagan and his cut in funding to mental health systems but them you see they are posting in Democratic supermajority states like California or NY. Even the local area is heavily democratic such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, or NYC.

Case in point was Jordan Neely, he just walked out of a treatment center and was not arrested. I'm not going to cheerlead for Republicans but I think that Democrats are at least as complicit in turning areas into shit.

Reminds me of a joke Prince made once that went something like "I like the cold weather, it keeps the bad people away". I believe there's some merit to that similar to what you mentioned. I'd imagine that generally places that face more adversity ward away people who are looking for an easy life. Probably there are exceptions to the rule, but that quote just came to mind.

There's a reason it's the temperate West Coast that's absolutely overrun with homeless nutcases, they can't tough it out in a Buffalo or a Detroit where it's 25 degrees out today.... the later of which doesn't have a fraction of the problem despite being functionally abandoned as a city.

But, that's why they infest the subways..... free heat and shelter.

It also assumes that asylums worked.

They didn't.

Almost every seriel / spree / exceptionally violent killer in the 70's and early 80's spent time in a state hospital and either left on their own, unable to be held, or faked a cure well enough the psychiatrists said he wasn't a danger any longer.

I have, shall we say, extreme skepticism for the entire field of mental health insofar as it can do anything to help at anywhere near a rate that justifies its expenditures.

The only thing they were good for was just a parallel incarceration system.

And that just invited abuse as people didn't really want to look too hard inside of them.

We don't need the asylums back, we just need larger insane wings in the regular prisons and we'll see some results.

He also got mad over a warning that a handicap accessible bus stop may not be available after a snowstorm

And that just means temporarily, I'm sure it'll be cleaned up in due time, but, he's the exact kind of person who abuses the "report bad winter road conditions" function on the DOT's website in my state, who have a permanent warning up that says "DO NOT USE THIS REPORT FUNCTION UNTIL STORM IS OVER" because people only see the road outside their window has snow on it, DURING a storm, and don't understand that the truck plowing it has 80 lane-miles to do in addition to that one and can't be everywhere at once.

O'Connor v. Donaldson was the case in the mid-1970s that made it impossible to hold someone who was considered a "non-dangerous individual", and subsequent court cases made it harder and harder to incarcerate someone, like Addington vs. Texas (raised burden of proof, basically took someone operating under O'Connor v. Donaldson, a psycho NEET living with his mother but the Burger court once again decided that the state couldn't hold him despite being a mentally ill man with violent tendencies).

The real problem is asylums usually just kept people heavily sedated.

That's really not moral grandstanding. It's a legitimate issue of personal autonomy and the right to due process if the powers that be are trying to lock you up.

The right to refuse consent to medical treatment if they can't pony up proof that there's some kind of harm involved is pretty basic. (Hell, I think it's a human right to refuse treatment against medical advice. I don't know why we have that right when it's a physical condition but we don't when it's a psychological condition. I guess intuitively it's "scarier" when some guy is talking about necking himself versus some other guy just deciding to drink himself to death.)

It's like vaccine mandates, but shrinks have even less evidence. At the very least there's physical evidence that covid is real. Not to say that I don't believe crazy people exist, they do. But psychiatry starts off in the inherently shaky field of, well, thoughts and feelings, and on top of that, the field has a shit track record of massive fuckups.
