So tired of being called “selfish” for trying to save money and live a healthier life.
What a does a car give you? The ability to say, “I’ve drive the whole family to here and there”, but what does it ignore? The local fun, the local parks, the local spots to hangout and eat and have fun, the ability to take your family for a walk, go outside, enjoy the good days.
And I get called selfish, for wanting to be less wasteful, meanwhile driving causes spending thousands per year on just gas alone, to spew CO2 into the atmosphere, for the luxury of arriving at a parking lot 200km away from home just so we can boast about how much we do for others?
I’m just tired of it. And everyone I know is addicted or just so ingrained in motornormativity that I can’t even relate to anyone, outside one or two people. It sucks even more that I’ll be called a bad parent for not wanting my child to get roped into this mentality that the car is the saviour of humanity, that grants us some mystical ultimate freedom that can’t obtained by other means.
Umm you can do all that stuff when you own a car also. And the car has made our life better and even hours if you don’t own one. How do you think your products get to you.
Not owning a car is a choice and food for you but don’t pretend you don’t benefit from the automobile.
right, but you realize what server this is. Opposition for the car is not just opposition to going places, it’s the entire machine itself that has taken over cities.
I just don’t agree with the idea that car ownership is always for the greater good, when it’s clearly not.
Products get to you by trucks. They probably also transited by train and/or boat.
