i dont know a single child who has the same fears kids in movies do

while you are factually correct that the human is a part of the chain of blame, it is systemically inefficient to blame the driver

in order to make systemic change and make cars safer, we CANNOT say “oh lol drivers fault, get good.” expecting that order of change from hoards of people is unrealistic.

however if i blame unsafely sized cars, fast, wide unsafe roads, a failure of US public transport—these are also realistic points of systemic change that i can point to.

tldr cars are unsafe, cars need to get safer, no amount of blaming the driver will solve things

the car absolutely kills people. that same big mac licking driver on a bike or bus or scooter causes 0 deaths. it’s the cars

we love underdogs with poor human rights records and sentence protesters to death for not moving out of their homes <3 the crown prince of saudi arabia is so oppressed

honestly we should have collectively realized way earlier that putting all the useful, readable, un-touched-by-SEO help content for basically every niche hobby fandom and ideology in the hands of one for-profit entity was not very wisdom-pilled of us
