I thought bike lanes were ‘DEI.’ Then an SUV killed my father (www.washingtonexaminer.com)

Street safety and bike lanes are not a culture war

Yes they fucking are. The OP was just on the wrong side of the culture war, same as on all other subjects it looks like.

The fact that the culture war itself is bullshit propagated by capital to stop workers organizing is a separate discussion.

Agreed.

Motorists think ANY inconvenience is an impermissible affront to their freedom. (They're like gun nuts in that way.)

Here in Kansas City we had to fight hard locally to get our streetcar and its two expansions because it would reduce some roads to one-lane for long periods of time, and drivers were more concerned with getting to their destination five minutes later than normal than tens of thousands of inner-city residents having quality transit.

It is 100% a culture war and one everyone should be fighting, even if you're a motorist.
