Lol. So, anecdotal evidence, statistics, and my lived experience doesn't count but your obvious lies do.

Yeah, I'm happy to see I saw your main character shitshow coming from a mile away.

I have. I've also been hit by a bicyclist. And a scooter. What's your point?

Based on your interactions so far, I'm guessing you ride a bicycle, ignore stop signs and traffic lights, join in on those dumb bicycle caravans that block busses, and blame pedestrians for not looking both ways before you rocket through a crosswalk.

And, you're mad at anything than entrenches motor vehicles in any way because this is your religion.

I don't care what they say because they're liars. That's the difference. There's objectively no value in meeting liars half way. There's no value in "hearing them out" and there's no value in acting as though we just need to empathize harder.

They don't care if they lie as long as it furthers their goal, they don't care to hear what anyone else thinks, and they don't have any interest in empathy. If any of my prior statements were false then we wouldn't be where we are.

Your attempt to normalize Nazis is fucked up, to be honest. I am not a hateful person, I am done giving hateful people comfort. You should be ashamed for trying to equate the two concepts.

I disagree. These are the people who call compassion the "woke mind virus" and they are takers. They live their entire lives taking from others because they think they deserve it. Yet fight against others receiving support and care.

Expend energy on people who give back instead.

Again, based on experience, and the data, if you were exposed to "grievous bodily harm" then it seems like you should change something.

I don't know you so I'm not going to suggest you're making up how you feel about the situation but you definitely don't sound like you're expressing an accurate representation of reality.

I'm not rooting for anyone in any collision. Everyone should pay attention and drive responsibly.

I'm surrounded by waymos every time I go out and I can tell you that if they "almost hit you" three times then that's very likely a you problem -- and a reason for more waymos, not fewer.

Anecdotally, only once have I been in a situation where I've said, "do better, robot" because I was slightly inconvenienced by it.

By the numbers there are very few waymo incidents compared to human drivers and those include waymos being hit by bicyclists who aren't paying attention.
