    100 years ago, no mode of transportation dominated the roads. Pedestrians, trams, bicycles, cars, and animals all shared the road together. It’s only a recent development that all the roads in the country have become dominated by the products of the automotive industry. This is not going to last that much longer. The roads will eventually return to being shared between different modes of transportation, with no individual mode dominating the road.

    You are not entitled to the road because you purchased the deadly, inefficient, expensive, and environmentally destructive product of the automotive industry. You live in a city, and that means that people are going to get in your way, whether they’re in a car, on foot, or on a bike. You’re just going to have to live with that.

        bicycle: most proletarian mode of transportation, Maoist China approved, the poorest people in the world all ride bicycles

        car: literally created by the bourgeois industry, most people in the world can’t even afford one, environmentally destructive and selfish, considered “proletarian” by global north labor aristocrats eating the blood of brown children, car drivers always fantasizing about murdering others
