My point is to give you an alternative to polluting threads with “I’m saving this” comments. Consider other people.

There should be an option to save posts instead.
What do you mean specifically when you say “the media”?
Yes I think you’re right about the Kremlin’s approach: they exacerbate weaknesses that are already there.
They understand Kremlin oppression.
Yes fair enough

If someone invaded your country and started murdering people you’d want to win the war.
divide and conquer
Bingo. I wish more people would see this, it’s shameful how badly democracies around the world have been caught with their pants down.
Authoritarian governments have a huge advantage when it comes to malicious propaganda. So much less oversight.
Yeah, I think other factors help them do it. A lot of their propaganda is designed to support political extremes that already exist.
Overblown based on what? Seems to me most people aren’t even aware it happened, and it was close enough that it likely determined the outcome.
Would you volunteer to go fight the Nazis?
I don’t think volunteer armies would have stopped Hitler, or many other conquering forces. Mutual defense is a critical part of society.
I essentially agree with your comment, but I don’t understand what your point is?
Most cities aren’t SF, that’s an outlier case.
Ditching a car would save some people $1,000/month, which would open up way more housing options for most people. Regardless of your personal feelings or preferences, people around the world are moving into cities. Making them bikable makes them more livable in many ways.
That’s without even considering the quickly growing number of people on personal electric vehicles, which use the same infrastructure.
I agree more public transit would be great. Even though I don’t use it often, it’s a critical part of a healthy city.
So they should have just let Hitler murder his way across Europe and then continue his way into the rest of the world?
People can get rid of their car payments, insurance, fuel, registration, tickets, tolls, maintenance, and more, then put that towards better housing.
Better bike infrastructure would lead to some people living closer to their jobs.
Good, more plastic trash. That’s what we need.
Came here to say that. Fuck Tom Cruise, that bastard is a cold-hearted sociopath.
