If you're going to post something as contrarian as they did then yes. Cars are popular and the American built environment is oriented around them. You might not like it, but nobody will take your seriously if you don't acknowledge the status quo.

The exact set of topics they brought up are very online. I may be wrong about their experience with urbanism but it literally looks like something out of r/fuckcars

Or they're just one of the many people who experienced a similar "what radicalized you" moment.

This type hate is part of the status quo with cars. I've been on both sides of it - there are times I catch the entitlement building within myself as a driver!
