Okay, first, go fuck yourself with this holier-than-thou attitude. You started this shit, not me.
Second, my attitude comes from smarmy little fucks like you who I thought to god I left behind when I left Reddit.
Third, I very much doubt you need an explanation as I believe you are not arguing in good faith, but I’ll humor you anyway, for posterity. Your comment is what’s know as a whataboutism. This is essentially an argument which ignores the accusation at hand (the overreliance of the US on cars) and instead makes an unrelated accusation (that I deny overreliance elsewhere).
Now, I ask you, where did I state that nowhere else in the world is there a country overreliant on cars? I can’t find it. As a matter of fact, I can’t seem to find anywhere on this post about tariffs in the United States, in this thread about used goods in the United States, in the comment I replied to discussing more specifically used cars in the United States, where anyone has said one goddamn thing about a country other than the United States. You make arguments in your head then ascribe them to me. I have said nothing about the state of cars elsewhere in the world, because it is several times removed from the subject at hand.
Fourth, yes I travel. Most of my family lives abroad. It is through my travels that I know there are better ways of doing things than the US is doing now. (Oh, and as long as we’re talking about logical fallacies, that’s an Ad Hominem). This point has especially stuck in my craw. Don’t act like you know anything about me you shitstain.
Finally, if it seems like I’m being harsh or overaggressive, it’s because I’m well sick of this shit from the days of Reddit, and I won’t tolerate it here. If I see someone using shitty tactics to start shit online, I will do my best to nip it in the bud. Frankly I probably wouldn’t be this irrationally angry if you hadn’t not only doubled down on your shit take, but try to drag me down in the process as well. Now, do us both a favor and cut that shit out.
Yup, the US has managed to turn cars from a luxury item to what’s essentially a necessary good.
Like there aren’t cars outside of the US.
Your reading comprehension is disturbingly poor.
You know full goddamn well that’s not what I mean. If you’re going to argue in pithy whataboutisms then take that shit back to Reddit.
Check your attitude. And no, I have no idea what your point is. Lots of non-US places are auto dependent and cannot be served by transit.
There are over 1.4 billion cars in the world, and less than 1/5 are in the US. Most vehicle sales are outside of the US.
Do you even travel??
