This is a thinly veiled attempt at sarcasm I assume.
Lots of logical fallacies though.
Fuckcars is a movement about providing equal infrastructure prioritisation to public transit and soft transit (walking, biking) instead of near-solely focusing on cars.
We don’t know what that protest is and acting as if we as a community must be in support of said protest for the sole reason it blocks cars is nonsensical.
I really don’t think your post is in good faith, I can only assume this protest really bothered you and you’ve come here to blow off some steam? Anyways, this isn’t a very polite way to act, please keep this kind of attitude of lemmy.
Many of us also advocate to get rid of congestion and traffic jams by providing alternatives and making car infrastructure less congested and let it flow better. We advocate for better roads that actually move cars to streets instead of stroads that fail at being both a destination and a throughfare.
Although when we have focused so much on automotive transit, it does make it as a weakness to protestors and saboteurs.
Right now that conversation (whatever the the issue motivating the issue) are still trying peaceful protest.
Imagine what happens if, instead of blocking the highway with their bodies, they just blow up the tarmac?
Then all those people in traffic are just fucked. That segment of highway is useless until days of emergency repair.
A more versitile transit system would be more resistant to such attacks, but that would mean supporting transit for people who are not rich. People who presently are second class citizens, who might be tired of not having the same representation in society. And who might want to disrupt traffic of the wealthy to let them k ow things suck for those without.
No war but class war.
