Reply to comment by NookSwzy in US Child Pedestrian Deaths by Day of the Year: 2006-2020 [OC] by rosetechnology

In the past few days I've interacted with two people from that sub.

One person suggested "we need to put nails in intersections to stop cars" after someone got hit at a crosswalk.

The other suggested we should just remove highways.

It's annoying to hear the same insanely impractical talking points parroted by some redditors who watched a YouTube video.

A lot of highways should be removed, or at the very least minimized. The American experiment in paving our cities to make highways and parking lots has proven to be a bad decision in a million different ways.

I’d be interested in hearing your counterpoints against developing walkable cities and reducing our car dependence.

I never said it shouldn't. I think public transportation and mobility should be a higher priority.

But the people from r/fuckcars are incredibly annoying. It's a constant barrage of dumb ideas ("let's put nails in the intersections to stop people from driving") and the same 5 parroted talking points they got from a YouTuber repeated ad nauseum.

Like, we get it, you've all said the same five things a billion times. Shut the fuck up already.

You sound like you’re going to have a seizure. Maybe you need a break from reality if it upsets you that much.

Damn dude I'm not the one that left 90 comments in the span of a day, I don't think I'm the one you should be worried about here

Well I’m sorry that subreddit is full of extremists, but it has nothing to do with me or the point I’m making.

Log off. You are throwing a fit over an internet community. Go outside.

That's great but the person you responded didn't say any of that stuff.
