Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn't be legal in europe. That thing doesn't even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The ~~Golf~~ Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.
EDIT: It's a Polo and not a Golf, I don't know my cars, sorry for that!
Then stop.
You made your position public. That public posting opens you up to criticism. No one obligates you to write paragraphs defending it.
Your rewrite was better. As was this argument. But you're not going to convince anyone that they should subject themselves and their families to being less safe in order to be safer to others. Covid deniers proved you can't even convince people to be safer for themselves, and get the bonus of helping others. In fact you had politicians out there saying grandpa is happy to die for capitalism.
I still think your lashout was childish and I had the time and inclination to call that out. But let's be clear I never even implied you were a bad person for your position.
