On the contrary, everybody hates cars. I've never met a driver who doesn't hate cars. Fuckcars is just the concentrated form.

yeah, it sounds like dude here has only driven shitty cars.

I have yet to see someone that doesn't hate everyone else's car, at least during traffic, meaning every driver either also hates their own car as well or they are a hypocrite.

i mean, i smoke a lot of weed so that might be part of it. it takes a bit of a philosophy and perspective change from [I'm stuck in traffic] to [I'm traffic]. I view it as somewhat of a daoist or buddhist perspective (because the lightswitch flipped while i was reading an Alan Watts book, Tao, the Watercourse Way. or The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. i read them one after the other. Excellent reads. I'm not an expert on taoism or buddhism or eastern religions or philosophy but i hear Alan Watts was so don't take my word for it) Also i have kickass music all the time i drive and an extra song to listen to is never unappreciated.
i'm weird though, i get it. i know i'm an outlier.
now when i'm on my bike? fuck yo car
driving a little supercharged six speed manual shitbox is fun as hell though. especially when you've got the road to yourself
supercharged six speed manual shitbox
ALSO i like the way this rolls off the tongue i'm going to use it in a shitty song. i really need to start playing an instrument that lets me sing.
i'll take the hypocrite label though. we are all not without our little (and large) contradictions

You know what yeah, that's fair. There are people that enjoy cars for their own sake. Frankly though, those are the kinds of people I would hope sympathize with the Fuck Cars philosophy the most, as the goal behind the sentiment is (usually) not that cars should no longer exist outright, but that instead infrastructure changes should be made so that not literally everyone needs to drive to live. Changes like replacing on street parking with protected bike lanes, investing in robust public transit networks, and replacing massive parking lots with actually functional construction. You know, changes that get people out of their cars while still reaching the places they need to go, which in turn reduces traffic for emergency services and the people that decide they want to drive anyway.
