Definitely has his grip on reality, this one

TIL that the US before Ford was communist.
It amazes me that this country literally has state borders built around rail systems, a huge dependence on rail for shipping, but decided to just pave over trolley rails, and jack prices of train transit to thousands of dollars for just a few hundred miles. Then the government forces us to pay shittons of money into our vehicles in taxes, insurance, etc without regulating the private companies that we’re forced to pay. Meanwhile other countries have super fast trains to travel, subsidized with tax money, and travel seems to be more efficient.
That’s the American system working as designed.
Provide no public benefit for your taxes while forcing the populace to funnel money into predatory private businesses. This ensures the powerful can rob the population with impunity and without pesky competition while making the populace distrustful of public programs that might benefit them and deprive those wealthy, powerful robber-barons of their golden eggs.
travel seems to be more efficient.
And they just ignore the negative health outcomes here vs countries where cars are not the norm.

His profile also:
- Says he’s anti-statist, but thinks America should always come first
- Says he’s against communism and socialism except he just calls anyone a communist or socialist if they don’t agree with him
- Uses the R slur
- Is anti-muslim
- Is anti-gay
- Showed a photo of a bike lane as proof it was preventing car traffic (it was a raised, isolated bike lane not on a road)
- Showed a photo of a no-car, walking only street with 50+ people actively filling it up as an example of why they need to close down those areas and open them up for cars instead
- Thinks that there are tons of “woke” people on the right
- Responded to someone talking about the very common sense argument that one bike = one less car on the road by claiming their 27 followers were botted 💀
- Compared Manhattan to Panem from the Hunger Games
- Thinks bicyclists wearing helmets “protects drivers”
- Thinks communism is run by the state
- Spelled “I” as “EYE”
- Complains about “15 minute cities” being controlled by the government as a way to advocate for government-funded interstates
- Compared the integration of black culture to being as obnoxious as a man loudly playing bagpipes on the subway
He’s made a few hundred tweets & quote tweets in the past 2 days.
This man is unhinged 😭

Reminds me of a quote “Every single drop of water felt it could not be to blame for causing the tidal wave/flood” Me remembering it is a little rough, but the concept stays the same lol.
Rain doesn’t "create’ flood. Removing infrastructure from cars, creating parks, using solar panels and gay marriage MANUFACTURE floods. I don’t know how you are trying to talk to, Communist.
THIS communist manufactures floods on a daily basis.
: Waits for applause, but upon hearing silence solemnly picks up his tenth of potato and leaves:
Homie literally said gay marriage is a contributor to flooding 😭😂 hes trolling for sure.
Higher speeds do the opposite for congestion than what you’d think. If everyone and their mum wants to drive on the same stretch of highway at 5pm sharp, there’s not enough space - at speed.
Obviously, everyone fits when standing still. The amount of asphalt is immense.
Reducing the speed limit from 120kph to 80 will allow 50% more cars to fit on the same stretch of road, thereby reducing stop and go, and not really impacting your average speed; you’d be stopping and going during rush hour, anyway. But now traffic flows, which is safer and easier to follow.
Why? Because - let’s assume safe driving - every car has two seconds of safety distance to the car in front. Those two seconds remain two seconds, but that means the distances you need are twice as large with 120kph than with 60kph. Your car length doesn’t even really matter, two seconds at 120kph are ~67m. So the road will always transport 1 car every two seconds per lane, no matter the speed.
You can either rage in a congestion, not knowing if farther up someone has caused a crash and completely blocked everything, or drive slower but steadily. The throughput of the road is the same.
let’s assume safe driving
That’s your problem, caring about safety of others smh
Some Houston traffic napkin math confirms this
You’re right. The don’t create congestion.
They ARE congestion.
This, exactly.
You’re not sitting in traffic … You are traffic .
The guy in the OP also gives off small dick energy. Just saying.
Water falling from clouds doesn’t mean it’s raining.
Cars don’t create congestion, roads do.
I’m confused, does he also get mad at fractions because they don’t reduce the way he wants them to?
My car doesn’t create congestion. It’s everyone else’s that’s the problem.
Like people driving during the pandemic and talking how amazing it felt to drive
Poorly implemented bike lanes do create a lot of congestion though.
My city just half assed bike lanes so one street has them and others do not, with bikes having to constantly enter and leave vehicle lanes as bike lanes appear and then disappear.
This just leads to less people using bikes and then the bike lanes that are installed go unused while taking up space from the road.
Either go all in on bike lanes or don’t, stop half assing it city planners.
Just because you made a bike lane doesn’t mean you are a green city, the lanes actually have to be used!
There’s a ten mile stretch of road that I live in a community off of. It’s a really busy road. Grocery store, gas stations, fast food restaurants, one of the elementary schools, one of the middle schools, and the high school. So while it’s normally busy it’s insane during school start and release times. There is a five mile section in the middle of that ten mile stretch where the sidewalk is on the opposite side of the main road for some reason. They decided to make bike lanes by painting lines and bike symbols on the road on the sidewalk side for the entire stretch of road. While they have crosswalks with lights at all the regular intersections, at each end of that five mile ‘bike lane’ they painted a dashed yellow line path across traffic to transfer the bike path to the other side and put blinky amber lights on each side of the road.
I’m fairly certain you would need to be suicidal to knowingly traverse that bike path from start to finish. It’s bad enough you’re kissing mirrors the entire ride but then you would need to cross a busy street, twice, with no actual assurance anyone will actually stop for you. The cherry on top is there’s also an increased number of student drivers on the road regularly from the high school.
That’s wrong. A bad bike lane is better than nothing. Because the first step is appropriation of the space, once people get use to have a smaller space for cars, the painting can be more easily transformed into proper infrastructure.
The problem there is enforcing said smaller space. Painted bike lanes do absolutely nothing to ensure people get used to having the smaller space because drivers still have all that space. A painted line doesn’t stop them from swerving into the bike lane whenever they please.
At the very least you put flexi-posts on there to enforce it if you can’t build a full curb to protect the bike lane. That tends to discourage drivers if not stop them entirely
Cars are only thing that creates congestion.
Yeah, it’s all those cyclists that you’re stuck in traffic with when there’s a traffic jam.
Yeah, what you don’t see in all those pictures of gridlocked Los Angeles is the huge mass of bike races clogging the entire freeway just out of frame.
It’s a really embarrassing problem for the city, having a bunch of folks with jacked quads lookin’ like highlighters jamming their freeways and stroads.
Otherwise everyone could really hit the gas and go maybe 30 mph without a major collision incident!
(The internet is crazy so I must clarify this is intended to be delivered as satire.)
What is this ‘satire’ thing you talk about?? I’ll bet it’s just another word for CUMMUNISM!!
CUM?! In my -NISM? It’s more likely than you think.
This dude is a fat fuck. Ofcourse he gets mad when people suggest they should ride a bike or walk
Cars create congestion, so they build more roads, so things are further away, so the can sell more cars (and gas), so they can get more tax revenue, but more cars on the road creates more congestion, so they build more roads …
The Soviet Union is long gone. Communist should no longer be a derisive and shpuld sound like a 20th century cliché.
I wonder (can’t confirm) if the evergreen state of communist or socialist as derision is due to the far right propaganda industrial complex still pushing (hard) that anything that isn’t capitalism is a moral wrong.
you expect people that are emotionally stuck in the 1950s to recognize the USSR is gone?
Also there’s plenty of completely car-brained infrastructure in Eastern Europe, built by communist regimes. Budapest is absolutely atrocious.
Any time I see or hear someone using “communist” as an insult, I immediately assume they’re a right-winger using the word to mean “something I’m afraid of.”
My fundie-Christian family members use it as a synonym for “atheist” because that’s what they’re afraid of.
