    What is this fantasy realm where unforgivable monsters who want [SA] victims to give birth are somehow above blame because “they don’t know any better”?

    jesse-wtf we’re talking about people driving cars.

    Urban planning isn’t what makes people buy giant gas guzzlers they can barely afford.

    Yes it is. If we’re gonna continue this you’re going to have to move away from this vibes based approach you’re attempting.

    Urban planning is not why 40% of Americans believe in ghosts and horoscopes but not evolution. Urban planning doesn’t cause misogyny and homophobia. And it certainly doesn’t force people to knowingly eat the flesh of tortured animals or support murderers and [redacted]. What we are seeing is a fault in human nature that can only be corrected over the course of generations. Unfortunately, our environment may not have that long.

    wtf-am-i-reading
    Normally when people attempt to move they goalposts, they stay on the same field.
    We’re discussing why people choose the means of transport they choose. Within this subject urban planning is paramount. People choose vehicles because of systemic reasons, not because of some nazi-like idea of “the triumph of the will” or weird national essentialism about the American brainpan.

    This is really shitty debatebroism of you. You’re not engaging with the arguments, you’re not engaging with the science and you’re trying to make me out to be someone who defends all sorts of weird shit. Also put a spoilertag on your mentions of SA, you piece of shit.

      I fucking hate how libs will act as if good and evil are inherent traits and Trump supporters were apparently just born that way. I suppose if people’s material conditions determined their behaviour it would mean libs aren’t as “above it all” as they think they are and are just as much a product of their environment as Trump supporters.
