    You’re pushing a very niche view as if it’s universal,

    Oh, it used to be far, far more universal than it is now. They spent a lot of propaganda money to make it less universal.

    Considering how the rivets seem to be popping off the western propaganda model recently, I’m willing to bet that it might one day be a lot more universal once more.

    You might not like that, but that’s reality.

        Riiiight… I’m confused and delusional because you want to live in a world where Big Auto’s profit margins are prioritized over the needs of the public.

        Phony Stark might have a little blue check mark to sell you - he likes the way you think.

            If I had my way then manufacturing would be publicly owned and based on open source principles

            You start off very well… but after that sentence you just take a running nosedive into bog-standard green capitalist apologia.

            They’re incredibly versatile and hugely somewhat efficient in certain usecase extremely limited situations,

            FTFY.

            Ecologically they can make a lot of sense too

            No. They absolutely fucking do not in any way, shape or form.

            aviation thus making flying a far less polluting means of travel than trains

            Never going to happen, genius. Just the massive infrastructure air travel requires makes this attempt of yours a joke. When it comes to efficiency, nothing beats trains - except ships. That’s not going to change any time soon - or possibly ever.
