That's less fuck cars and more ACAB if you ask me
Por que no los dos.
i would even argue that by necessity both movements must be connected. the reason at the core of the fuck cars movement is that cars are an unnatural status quo. our cities are designed for cars instead of people because the petrochemical industry makes more money if our cities require us to exist in isolated rolling boxes.
meanwhile the reason at the core of the acab movement is that cops exist to unnaturally enforce status quos. we could move on and create new ways of existing, but the cops need us to all stay as things are because that's what serves their masters
And that's without mentioning that the majority of police departments time is spent policing traffic violations instead of doing actual work to prevent harm to persons or property. Getting rid of cars is the first thing people should be looking towards in order to defund police departments. Once traffic enforcement is no longer needed the entire department starts looking like a big joke.
