I don't think you realise how much you've been fucked by car. I presume you move out to the suburb not because the city council decided to exile you and never let you stay in the city, you move out because you have a car and can drive 20+km toward your destination, which then mean everything is so out of your way you have to use car to do everything. So no, you're the one that got fucked by motonormativity and yell "cum inside", you don't get to then deny everyone a better solution.
I moved out by rent prices and because no one wanted to rent a flat for family with two small kids, not because of car 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻this is one of dumbest hypotheses I've ever heard
Your argument basically just boiled down to "it doesn't happened to me so it shouldn't be the case for everyone", what kind of self absorbed argument is that even?
So it wasn't for me?
Idk, you decide? Not sure why you're here against the idea when it's not even about you.
