The "cars mean freedom" meme of the past few generations needs to die so bad. Cars are conformity.

Cars are consumerist. Cars are alienating. Cars kill cities. Cars fucking suck. Electric cars fucking suck too.

I'm not denying some people need one, but when I'm driving a car it's only because I'm out of all the better options.

PS I'm sorry if you reading this like cars, I also like some bad things. But that doesn't make them not bad.
