Explain how the meme excludes rural areas, because it seems pretty general and not city-specific to me.

Are you trying to argue that rural populations are not included in the full set of populations who use cars? Of course you're not, because that would be silly.

"Right wing propaganda" - what a ridiculous claim to make

As with a lot of my responses here, you're only responding within the context of cities, and even more narrowly you're referring to downtown/commercial/recreational areas that need to be walkable.

You're right to say we should have more walkable cities, however it's not a valid argument against electrifying vehicles.

Yeah, so in the context of cars, a small step in the right direction is the introduction of electric cars to replace ICE cars. It's a feasible and available step. I'm not hearing any other currently feasible ideas, and saying "just use public transport/bikes" is not a solution for every human who currently has a car.

So what should people in areas not serviced by public transport do?

All avenues are important. Effort needs to be put into what you stated, but effort also needs to be put into helping people who are living month to month make the small changes that they are able to. Not everyone is in a privileged position of being able to upend their entire world without life changing consequences.

And how is it right wing propaganda if I've pointed out a reality? Public transport is not available or viable for all rural communities. Propaganda?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

You didn't state that in your response though, right? Your response was general.

And what about all the power needed to manage those systems and networks? Should we just go back to hunting and gathering?

How do you propose to solve these issues? Find a new job for everyone that can be done at a computer? Bring down multinational corporations?

Or make the situation slightly better by removing those daily emissions?
