I own two SUVs because they are useful. Can't we be critical of ourselves and some of the consequences of our own choices?

Yes, we can be critical of ourselves. I guess your description of SUV-drivers looking at pedestrians with disdain and buying a car with room for more passengers to intentionally exclude potential passengers is an accurate reflection of your own opinion?

As I said, I don't believe those are very widely held and they certainly don't reflect my thoughts, so my criticisms would be quite different.
