Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.
I say not less cars, but no cars. We need to move towards societies where we arent dependent on the asphalt industry.
We need to learn how to live slow again.
zero carz🦔
The odd taxi is ok for unusual routes
No cars is a bit too idealistic, but agree on ending the general dependency on them. Cars is not just speed, but also access. And car infractructure is the same as for buses, emergency vehicles, taxis etc. And I don’t think we should necessarily end those.
But yeah, I still chant for “no cars” as the idealistic general goal.
but we dont need cars. just because we are dependent on them today, doesnt mean we are depent on them in the future. Dont let todays lets dictate our future lets.
Have you been to literally any rural area ever?
lived in Østhusvik for 18 years. don’t know if you count that as rural.
So my moving company should use trains? I’m not sure if you’re just naive or something else. Of course we don’t “need” cars. The same way we don’t need Internet, or electricity.
I dont believe in trains. we dont need fast transport. and we dont need internet. electricity is useful, but our demands should not rely on industry.
one of the greatest characteristics of humanity is our ability to adapt. we should play to this strength.
OK, so you want to go live in the wilderness. That was always allowed.
society should embrace the wilderness. we can do this through democratic confederalism as envisioned by Abdullah Öcalan.
