Bullshit? It’s like comic book super villan axis of evil bad. Hard to even make hyperbole about how bad the US is. Are you living in Israel perhaps? That’s the only way I could see maybe by comparison not thinking everything the US is doing is just horrendous.
The government is. What did I do as a Native American just trying to live my life and not voting for the current administration? And what does that have to do with cars?
Not attacking you, no one was. The cartoon is a charicature that is representative of common American views. You are in a shit hole country and the heartland of America is full of uneducated hate filled bigots that represent a strong enough voice to shape the government into what it is.
Don’t take it personally. It’s not like everyone in Israel is an asshole either, but as a country, total shit hole.
Assumptions not only consistently backed up with locally sourced data but also very much agreed upon by almost every thinking person both in and outside of your asshole of a country
The only Americans I want to meet are natives. The rest of you are either descendants of religious fruitcakes or their sycophants, even if not by choice
Oh and Afroman I would like to meet him, his new music is a breath of fresh air
America is not the only car centric culture. What is up with all the ‘America bad’ bullshit on Lemmy lately?
Also, I literally live next to a fully separated bike lane in an oil state…
Because unlike other car centric places, the US federal government is actively opposed to any improvement in bicycle or walking infrastructure, though some states are willing to defy the federal government
Add to that how the US federal government is opposed to renewable energy, opposed to protection of the environment, opposed to protection of threatened species, opposed to immigration, opposed to past immigration, opposed to assigned at birth gender nonconformity, opposed to non reproductive sexual preferences, opposed to education — especially of women
Your oil state is probably more responsive to people’s desire to ride a bike without being killed than the US, and yours is an oil state.

Lemmy is big on tankies, and they often make assumptions about how the US and people there are.

Your post is inconsistent with data
