So basically, a submission that places fuck cars users at the level of this guy. Makes sense, fits all my expectations for them.
The responses to this on the other post were the same, punitive and wrathful with no space left for critical thinking.
How many people shop online then consume media showing the impacts of climate change or reports of warehouse working conditions within the delivery window? How many “fuck cars” users also subscribe to gentle parenting content? How many were raised in Christian homes and currently hold negative views on religion generally?
What happened to basic human decency .
They are mourning 200 dead in a disaster zone.
Can’t you shut your fucking mouth for one week ?
I’ll shut up when we mourn the death and maiming caused by the use of cars.
Well, that’s vile and also a clinically psychopathic lack of empathy.
I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.
I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.
The same to you then.
You remind me of the people who complain about talk of gun regulations after mass shootings.
The thing is, you’re both right. It’s a vile and cynical lack of empathy on both your parts. He’s exactly right, far more people die daily who get none of your empathy. If people dying on the road is supposed to change our behaviour, then what about you?
They’re not both right. Vile rhetoric sews division. Calling it out and appealing to humanity are acts of strength that bind us together.
I do wonder how you know what i do with my empathy.
Name checks out
I’ve seen a lot of terrible things.
Devastation shocks the brain full of thoughts and feelings, navigating around the rocks takes courage
Jesus fucking Christ. I get advocating for less car reliance but cheering the deaths of people just for owning cars is beyond fucked.
Who are cheering the death? The post had no mention of dead people.
The comment was removed but it was there and it had a depressing number of up votes.
This one?
Wow, 2 opvotes vs 52 downvotes. Soo depressing.
The post was new at the time and there were no downvotes.
It absolutely does. Fucking look at it. You can’t take the dead people out of this photo, you can’t pretend they’re not there.
I see no corpses in the photo. There is nothing to suggest those cars are occupied.
I don’t see any people in the pic other than the ones walking at the top of the frame.
Are there dead bodies there that I’m not seeing?
But the people might not own the cars, they’re entirely separate
Valencia registers about 50 deaths by car accident per year, 1/3 of the deaths that the floods caused in the city. If you look at Spain as a whole, car deaths per year are much, much higher. Depending on how long it takes roads to unblock and cars to be replaced, this may in total be a win for human lives…
Also fuck greedy investor urbanism. Valencia spent an enormous amount of time and money to redirect a river prone to flooding outside of the city. And then promptly urbanized the risky flood plain with housing and commerce.
Fuck investors in general. The DPRK had it right, as did Mao. Off with their heads.
yeah we desperately need another uprising, “investors” will not guilliotine themselves.
People can hate cars AND help humans in need, even car users.
Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.
I’m sorry for all the losses the people have to endure, but after this is over, there needs to be a discussion how to prevent disaster like these or minimise their impact on human and general environment.
Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.
because of climate change or…?
The financial, spatial and carbon economy of motorised private transport is inefficient, including its infrastructure. Opportunity costs of missing climate action due to economical reliance on private transport, spatial constraints of land use for traffic and inefficient housing (private transport induced sprawl) are just two examples for that.
Climate change fuels flooding frequency and severity, so fueling climate change with fossil fuelled private transport is irresponsible.
So brave to seize on a natural disaster and massive human tragedy. How proud of yourselves you must be.
“Natural” disaster.
This is like when republicans whine about how inappropriate it is to criticize loose gun regulations after a mass shooting.
No. This is exactly the time to bring it up.
There is no republican party in Spain. lol

Edit: lol, apparently facts hurt people’s feelings here
I’m aware. Just using a situation familiar to many Lemmy users as an analogy. I don’t live in Spain so perhaps there is a similar form of ignorance there but I would not know.
what if carbomb?
I guess fuck all the buildings and lives as well, right?

Gauche caviar.
This is so ridiculous I don’t even know what to say. If you can live your life without having to use cars, then you’re extremely lucky. That is fucking rare, you know that?
Transport exclusion is a massive problem worldwide, majority of people on Earth needs cars to make do with core activities.
You have a choice to use cars or use public transport, and you choose public transport? Bless your heart, that is a good choice. But not everybody has that choice.
So, kindly, shut your gaudy mouth, please.
We all dislike cars but man you’re sick
