Where is lawbreaking not just visible, but designed to be seen? Where is antisocial behaviour worn as a badge of honour? Where is pleasure gained directly from causing distress? And where is reckless endangerment often ignored by the police or treated with the mildest of punishments? The answer is on the roads.
culture war? class war? as far as I can tell it’s a battle between the rich and stupid who want to pollute and don’t give a shit for future generations, and the rest of the species who just want to fucking live.
I’m reminded of the anti-union poster suggesting not paying union dues, rather buying a game console instead.
After the 2024 election it appears that Americans genuinely cannot think further than their own impulses.

valid.

depressingly accurate.
I just don’t see it as upper class vs lower class, as much as polluter enthusiast class vs. the rest of us who like breathing
the rich also want to polute, not just the stupid
so make it into a class war the rich can manipulate with ‘they’re gonna take your vroom vroom’ and see how far you get.
ah the polluter class has spoken
Petro masculinity 😂.
It’s like they want people to make fun of them.
Woke 1 cringe must go
gonna be a fascinating time as gas spikes and these chuds lose their whole personality over not being able to drive their roided up shitmobiles everywhere.
same with monster truck rallies - how long can that garbage continue? or any conspicuous consumption?
we’re better off with it all dead.
Petro-Insecurity, not Petro-Masculinity
Rolling coal, giant lifted trucks, all this shit, just take their licenses away forever and let them drown in the car-centric cesspool they created.
My wife does this and she drives an EV. So what’s “Petro” and “masculine” about that?
She street races and rolls coal in an EV?
She’s gotta keep that kettle grill handy to roll charcoal and own the flavorless gassers.
Was about to say the same, almost. I see plenty of women drivers who approach my vehicle from behind very rapidly as I’m going the speed limit, so clearly they are going very fast, and tailgating as well. This is not just men.
Also I hope you tell your wife to slow down and not be a danger/annoyance to others. ❤️
Also what’s in the Epstein files?
Look at history.
“Whippersnapper” came from young men racing horses and buggies on the roads. They’d snap the whips over the horses heads to make them go faster.
Because a cop’s job is to protect the rich. They do the bare minimum to keep us in line, to keep the people from considering rioting, to keep us going to work, etc.
Power doesn’t care whether we kill each other, wreck cars, plow over kids in the cross-walk, etc. Power has no empathy. Power only cares when we get so fed up we take to the streets and show up at their front door with torches and pitchforks. That’s when the cops earn their pay, when they show up in force, kitted out, and ready to rumble.
Kids being shot inside the school? Hold back till the shooting stops, don’t want any of us getting hurt.
People rioting and threatening power directly? Bring out the tanks. Remember the George Floyd protests?
i see people switching lanes suddenly without warning is more dangerous.
Maybe play up their petro-instability. Describe how much more aggressively they can drive with the massive instant torque of an EV, compared to their obsolete clanking collection of gears
Honestly driving fast is kinda overrated and probably a consequences of driving big comfortable cars and people bring dopamine junkies
Trump is solving one part of the problem… Now only rich assholes can have a big ass truck. So they’ll probably be less and probably have insurance. Probably.
It’s ignored by police because it’s one or more less vehicles traveling fast. Not every State Trooper or Police Officer is trained to drive 140 mph or higher, I would guess most aren’t. I’m sure the idiots in the trucks don’t know how to drive that fast either.
Racing has existed since the beginning of time, ever since one person challenged another that they are faster, and the bet was called. The Need for Speed is not just a cars problem… From horses to bikes, autos, boats, airplanes, and even commuter trains, someone wants to go fast. Best we can do is enforce and penalize dangerous behavior on the road and not shut down every motorsport park that gives people an “out” for this.
And racecars are known for lowering efficiency and wasting fuel by “rolling coal” 🙄
They’re not talking about people racing in cars.
M.A.D.D. was too weak for the Vin Diesel onslaught. Also, fuck Jackie Stewart! /s
