The other side of this conversation has been "silenced"?

This is literally the fuckcars community.

There aren't two "sides". That's my point. Considering them as opposing positions is what demonstrates that you and others are considering them as somehow related, somehow in conflict. It's you seeing an argument where none need exist.

You don't have to un-govern scooters to govern cars.

You can say "I think we should limit the velocity of any vehicle that operates in proximity to pedestrians to a degree to keep them safe".

That's what I want. Where is the argument? Are we on different "sides"??

They're implying that people who got hit by one of the other two vehicles in the image are not alive anymore to comment about getting hit by it, hence they got silenced.
