Nothing says abject stupidity like taking an argument to its extremes no matter the cost.

Tearing out extra lanes that do nothing but encourage more traffic, adding protected cycling lanes or reducing road speed are seen as extreme by those that made the decisions that have created the infrastructure we have. In reality these are compromises.

‘Share the road’ is not a compromise. Sharrows are not a compromise. Jaywalking laws are not a compromise. Victim blaming is not a compromise. Media dehumanising pedestrians is not a compromise.Nobody ever fucking considered anything else but cars, drivers and the car lobby when installing these things.

Now tearing it out city centers to focus on humans and humanity is extreme?

You would absolutely not rip them out of you want bike lanes, buses etc.

You don’t need 4+ lanes for that.

Yes, you’re right: the conservative media outlet blatantly spinning the quote is being abjectly stupid.

Taken out of context. I also said that you-need-to-allow-black-pride…

But you keep taking the Redditor approach to things, sifting through peoples history to attack things they said out of context, instead of actually making a meaningful attempt at a discussion. It’s BOUND to make lemmy a replica of the place you fled from.

Really meaningful attempt at starting a conversation like so, troll? https://lemmy.world/comment/5742227

Is it also out of context when you compare your straight daughter’s experiences to, and I quote, „Jews during the holocaust“?

Maybe nobody wants to have a meaningful discussion with you because you’re an outrageously obtuse asshole.
