everybody who doesnā€™t need a car for transportation is the bourgeoisie and needs to be shot to ensure more roadspace for the proletarian individual automobile

Depending on the country this is sort of true, because many workplaces require a full licence to even be considered for work.

But itā€™s also missing a few important things. What about disabled people? People who canā€™t afford lessons or even the tests? People with no support network (no family, friends to teach them to drive)?

There are many such cases of these, even here on hexbear, we have users in these situations. I was one of them for a period of my life and it fucking sucks, socially itā€™s embarrassing to admit you canā€™t drive, and professionally? It limits your options so much, even in cases where it shouldnā€™t.

Carbrain is awful.

love to be the homless bourgeoisie

Point begin even this argument among class lines always ignores the low end of the working class who do not have cars because those cost a decent amount of money

Right, but I did outline cases where itā€™s just pure carbrain

What about disabled people?

I have a processing delay that makes operating a car feel way too abrupt and terrifying to me, so Iā€™ve never had a license, I have always biked and bused. Not that I have ever been able to afford a car, I would be terribly vulnerable in a place where you absolutely need one. A cluster of hidden disabilities that make exploiting your labor unprofitable by a thousand cuts has a special sort of stigma attached to it, and itā€™s a special sort of mindfuck to gradually break free of the cloud of eugenicist denial you were raised under and see it for what it is.
