everybody who doesn’t need a car for transportation is the bourgeoisie and needs to be shot to ensure more roadspace for the proletarian individual automobile
Depending on the country this is sort of true, because many workplaces require a full licence to even be considered for work.
But it’s also missing a few important things. What about disabled people? People who can’t afford lessons or even the tests? People with no support network (no family, friends to teach them to drive)?
There are many such cases of these, even here on hexbear, we have users in these situations. I was one of them for a period of my life and it fucking sucks, socially it’s embarrassing to admit you can’t drive, and professionally? It limits your options so much, even in cases where it shouldn’t.

love to be the homless bourgeoisie
Point begin even this argument among class lines always ignores the low end of the working class who do not have cars because those cost a decent amount of money
I have a processing delay that makes operating a car feel way too abrupt and terrifying to me, so I’ve never had a license, I have always biked and bused. Not that I have ever been able to afford a car, I would be terribly vulnerable in a place where you absolutely need one. A cluster of hidden disabilities that make exploiting your labor unprofitable by a thousand cuts has a special sort of stigma attached to it, and it’s a special sort of mindfuck to gradually break free of the cloud of eugenicist denial you were raised under and see it for what it is.

Carbrain is awful.

Right, but I did outline cases where it’s just pure carbrain
