Isn't that pic ancient anyway? I swear I saw it for the first time more than a decade ago, if not earlier

I don't think Jason would know the difference. Remember when you're dealing with people who are so ignorant that they have no idea what religious denominations are or why people would favor different congregations.
/r/fuckcars left Charles Marohn behind a while back, but I'm pretty sure that Marohn believes in a higher power in the minimum, Jason not so much.
It's from 2008 (close to twenty years ago) but it still hosts a lot of outdated logos that were purged from their chains a while back which makes it look older. There's a red-and-yellow Shell logo (most of these went away in 2003), Subway (the current ones looks more similar to it, but the 2002 logo had taken over the chain by then), and Taco Bell (that was from the mid-1980s and was already rare by 2008).

Urbanists who probably have never been to the Maldives pop up in a RealLifeLore video about the Maldives.

Also, I can't seem to archive the video with the comments, so I'll leave it to someone else...

Urbanist argues that a personal car is unnecessary for an island "one can walk across in 20 minutes." Spoiler alert: one cannot.
Note the clown with a checkmark who doesn't compromise and advocates for a complete ban on cars.
Car advocate proceeds to get dogpiled. Notable comments below.
More clowns coming in to say people are wrong and cargo bikes solve all of their problems.
Working hard ≠ working smart. Maldivians (or at least people who have been there) have to explain why things are the way they are. As already seen in this thread, cargo bikes are not an efficient method- let alone a viable option here.
Surprisingly,
107,000 motorcycles and 7,500 cars are registered there. Registered, does not mean there's that much vehicles on the island.
The climate's heat and humidity make it especially difficult to walk, even on a small island.
Again, cargo bikes do not solve everything.
Bicycles are for losers.
It's easy to judge when one doesn't live there and don't understand the local's pain.
Urbanism is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
This whole debate implies that urbanists will screw over the working-class person out of ignorance if they were in charge of city planning.

They literally use bikes for everything yet urbanists are still mad because they're gas-bikes, not e-bikes.

Last time I was visiting Japan I saw an imported GMC Denali driving through tiny west Tokyo streets. I thought this was ridiculous, then I saw several PT Cruisers and learned they were at one point sold there.

I could ramble on endlessly about my autism pertaining to this subject and everything surrounding it but I'll do my best to be brief: I'm a huge (American) car guy and wish platforms like the Commodore/Falcon/Charger/modern Cadillacs and their ute and wagon variants were what the American market demanded and defined the world's conception of modern American cars (I.E. proletariat alternatives to the German luxury sedans and broader European sports cars: more affordable, more reliable, more powerful and simpler/more mechanical/visceral than their overengineered European counterparts) but since that's neven going to happen I'm settling for cheering on the Complete Global Saturation of the Yank Tank. American car offerings could be so much cooler and far more diverse - and probably would be if the roads were designed and maintained better and most of the biomass currently on them was deported, put back in the kitchen or pillow'd where applicable so it could once again become the sole domain of the Young White Male as God intended - but I completely understand why the average normie would take a fullsize quad cab over a ute or take a Suburban over a sporty low-slung wagon any day of the week. The comfort, utility, versatility, reliability, low maintenance cost, passenger safety and fuel economy competitive with passenger vehicles is the obvious choice for people that don't care about cars or engaging driving experience at all but also recognize how much better driving is than any other form of getting around or transporting things.
As long as they allow Whites to exist anywhere in the world and have any amount of agency or money, the holy Yank Tank will consume all. There is nothing anyone can do to stop it. They're just too desirable. America and its culture was always destined to rule the world. Our way of life is just too natural and fulfilling. If the American government and the rest of the planet together won't let the continent be defined by pristine state-of-the-art autobahns and limitless country roads and an abundance of proletariat sport sedans to push to their limits on them, then at least we can bury the faggots who won't shut up about how inferior and evil we are with our glorious Aryan chariots. Existence begins and ends with American freedom. We will have no more Europoor cope. You WILL exercise your God-given Natural Right to crush your enemies beneath your wheels or be crushed yourself. You WILL buy in or be destroyed. We will consume you. Resistance is futile

I was in japan too, both the tokyo/yokohama area and especially Sapporo when i stayed there have a lot of american trucks, many of which ARE NOT ARMY lol. American idolization is quite prevalant in these areas and I`ve seen it especially in fashion and vehicles people import.
Related but pickups are also increasing substantially in popularity in China from SAIC/GM brands, which as of late has had a substantial increase in their car culture and quality of vehicles.

Just a nice little counter to all the urbanism going around at the moment.
A video about Runcorn, a New Town that was built as an urbanist's wet dream, with a dedicated bus network that was intended to serve the entire town.
It didn't really go to plan.

It does certainly look like the archetypical rest stop mile, but knowing how manipulative the framing was along with knowing the history (or lack thereof) of Breezewood really pisses me off when somebody posts it as a symbol of "American soullessness."

Urbanists hate BRT though, and will use the BRT's failure as "proof" they should've gone with a real train. (Seeing how Runcorn was the first BRT, it's not a good look for the transit system as a whole). Even if you get 25% more people to ride the line if it was all train, the costs would've far exceeded 25% and when urbanists talk about train lines it's under the assumption of being 100% full or near-100% full all the time.

Imagine people actually living and explaining their situation on the ground and telling them they're blatantly wrong.

Any of you ever hear of Ottawa's BRT to LRT conversion? Years ago they had one of the best transit systems in north america, super reliable and fast, a mix of separate roads for busses and bus lanes, it worked really well and a much larger than usual percentage of commuting was by bus. Then they spent most of the 2010s converting the separate roads to train lines and dug a subway under the core.
The result? Now it's very unreliable, slower, and transit ridership is way down even factoring in losses from the pandemic days. Even worse they somehow managed to buy trains that don't work when it's too cold or snowy (in Ottawa...).
And it cost like 3 billion dollars.

They do that all the time. Whenever someone tells them that they LIKE driving or living in a house, they get told that they've never lived in a city so they don't know what they're missing. Even telling them that you have lived in a dense city is not enough to derail them from their script, they'll just assert that whatever city you lived in wasn't a "real" city.

I moved from an apartment in a major city to a little house at the intersection of No and Where a few years back, and whenever I tell urbanites how much happier I am they immediately start sperging about poor public transportation and lack of green spaces and how I would've liked it so much better if it was an idealized city from their dreams.
Funnily enough, the city where I used to live has all that shit, it's just been ruined by jeets, niggers, and crackheads. Many such cases!

/r/fuckcars discusses motorcycles:
TL;DR:
Motorcycles are bad because you have to wear a helmet on them:
Most people have never had a friendly interaction with a cyclist:
Rural people can just take their pedal bike on a twice daily bus:
Remember, these people hate 50cc motorcycles common in the third world:
Motorcycles, unlike e-bikes, aren't used for utility:
Electric motorcycles exist, by the way.
Wait till you hear what the average New Yorker thinks of e-bike deliverymen:
Motorcycles are as bad as cars:
Motorcycles are dangerous (but e-bikes are not?):
