You can like cars and also acknowledge that their over-use is detrimental to having a healthy and happy society. I would consider myself a car enthusiast, and I even work in the auto-industry but I can see the issues as well.
Additionally, even though I like cars I also like commuting by bike and have always felt bitter that I can't do it safely.
There are lots of reasons car enthusiasts want change too. We're allies more than you realize
You're just trying to convice yourself that what you do is fine. just like a tobacco addict saying he/she's not addicted, still has freewill, can quit any time, just smoke socially, is not a victim of the tobacco industry.... same fallacious logic. You do you bro, but be honest with yourself.
Okay what exactly do you wan't him to do? Thats what I want to know. I mean he is doing quite good in seeing the issues and he also wants some change. Probably not as much as some of us, thats hard to say because I dont know him. So as long as people are not against that change we can first treat them maybe as allies?
You seem to see the world in black and white. And I think that is hurting you somewhat. I was the same a few years earlier but I realized that the world is way to complex to make it that easy.
bro you don't know me hahaha
Yes I don't know you thats true, just your style of discussion kinda reminded me of my own self a few years ago. I did not wan't to attack you with my comment. Sorry if that is what you have read.
To be clear, I understand you point but the way I have read it was that you are calling people out that really have no other option. And that is the sad truth.
