This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

You literally reference the "US Army War College" as a legitimate source on BRI? Belfercenter on China? Yale? Carnegie endowment? This is the most plain-faced assertion of blatant propagandistic drivel. That's also ignoring your bold-faced lies about how well the USSR functioned, and again, you act an authority on Marxism despite not having any clue about it. This is pathetic.

Ah yes, unless it is CCP approved it isn't true. Have fun with that fallacy. I know it's hard to engage with data and review it for yourself, or against others. Much easier to just go, oh, it is a bunch of academics in the west, surely all their data is wrong, don't need to review it, if it doesn't have the stamp of the CCP, it is all false. Tiananmen never happened, commrade.

Surely you can find a non-US State Department source? And the June 4th incident absolutely happened, just not on the Square itself, but in the surrounding areas, which funnily enough is also what the CPC says happened.
