[meme] Being forced to drive isn't freedom — it's a government-mandated lifetime subscription to oil

Image transcript:

The "what if you wanted to go to heaven, but god said ____" meme template, but here it says, "What if you wanted to walk to get groceries, but city planners said DRIVE". The last panel is an image of a massive freeway full of cars.

I don't even follow this community, but it was top in top-6 hour

I cant imagine feeling the need to get angry over people wishing for a car free life.

A car free life is great for some, but there's no need to call people names if they enjoy driving. I'm sure I could come up with a bike/pedestrian/public transit version of carbrain, but someone has to stop the hate.

From my side of the fence, you identified the "angry" position as the one responding to an insult. That's trump-onomics 101: preemptively demean your adversary by name calling.

Yawn
