Also fuck greedy investor urbanism. Valencia spent an enormous amount of time and money to redirect a river prone to flooding outside of the city. And then promptly urbanized the risky flood plain with housing and commerce.
Fuck investors in general. The DPRK had it right, as did Mao. Off with their heads.
They killed people they felt threatened by, and that they couldnt use. Teachers, doctors, authors, scientists, philosophers, social critics, journalists, midwives, artists, performers. Those are the people that died at the hands of Mao and Kim, not the capitalists whose wealth they both needed. Mao was all about investment into collectivist systems, one of the biggest factors driving The Great Leap Forward was the need to quickly develop new sources of domestic investment. And the DPRK is just a corrupt Juche system, they love foreign investors (and holding them for ransom!). Just because a few people you don’t like incidentally died in the purges too doesn’t mean they had “the right idea”, and it’s sickening to see you spout that revisionist BS here.
Tankies gonna tankie
yeah we desperately need another uprising, “investors” will not guilliotine themselves.
What happened to basic human decency .
They are mourning 200 dead in a disaster zone.
Can’t you shut your fucking mouth for one week ?
I’ll shut up when we mourn the death and maiming caused by the use of cars.
Well, that’s vile and also a clinically psychopathic lack of empathy.
I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.
The thing is, you’re both right. It’s a vile and cynical lack of empathy on both your parts. He’s exactly right, far more people die daily who get none of your empathy. If people dying on the road is supposed to change our behaviour, then what about you?
They’re not both right. Vile rhetoric sews division. Calling it out and appealing to humanity are acts of strength that bind us together.
I do wonder how you know what i do with my empathy.
I hope that when you grow up, you manage to reconnect with your humanity.
The same to you then.
You remind me of the people who complain about talk of gun regulations after mass shootings.
Name checks out
I’ve seen a lot of terrible things.
Devastation shocks the brain full of thoughts and feelings, navigating around the rocks takes courage
People can hate cars AND help humans in need, even car users.
Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.
I’m sorry for all the losses the people have to endure, but after this is over, there needs to be a discussion how to prevent disaster like these or minimise their impact on human and general environment.
Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.
because of climate change or…?
Reduced inpacts of climate change but more importantly better urban design. Long, straight, impermeable roads guide water wherever it wants to go with little resistance or slow downs. Cities can be built to be more permeable to handle water better, they can also implement stomwater retention and detention ponds.
Many cities currently waste lots of space on asphalt for cars. We could build transit with permeable surfaces (such as grassy tram lines or cycle lanes designed from permeable materials). We could build less parking lots and save that space for stormwater ponds.
The financial, spatial and carbon economy of motorised private transport is inefficient, including its infrastructure. Opportunity costs of missing climate action due to economical reliance on private transport, spatial constraints of land use for traffic and inefficient housing (private transport induced sprawl) are just two examples for that.
Climate change fuels flooding frequency and severity, so fueling climate change with fossil fuelled private transport is irresponsible.
I guess fuck all the buildings and lives as well, right?
The destruction of automobiles during a disaster which was made far worse as a result of climate change is a very poignant juxtaposition.
So basically, a submission that places fuck cars users at the level of this guy. Makes sense, fits all my expectations for them.
The responses to this on the other post were the same, punitive and wrathful with no space left for critical thinking.
How many people shop online then consume media showing the impacts of climate change or reports of warehouse working conditions within the delivery window? How many “fuck cars” users also subscribe to gentle parenting content? How many were raised in Christian homes and currently hold negative views on religion generally?
