Despite my being an outspoken member of c/fuckcars and my repeated professed hatred of cars, I technically don't actually hate cars. They can have agricultural uses. Like if you own a large farm, and want to go check something or do maintenance, a car or truck would be a valid tool to do that.
What I hate is that people use cars to transport themselves around when there are other overall better, yet slightly less flexible alternatives. And that this decision to go with that style of transportation has so many horrible ramifications.
But anyways, when I drive somewhere, and yes, unfortunately, I'm currently forced to live in a situation where I must drive, I am not some weird ball of road rage, projecting hate at all the cars. I just generally hate the situation.
