    I really do not think so. Oil propaganda would support cars rather than be against it. I’m quite sure this is directed at the people who think EVs are a full solution.

        Why, then, does the picture with all the problems depict a gas car, and why is “tailpipe emissions” listed as one of the problems?

        Also, usually corporate propaganda is done by less well-established cartoonists that don’t have reputations to ruin.

        It’s criticising cars in general, one if it’s arguments is that EV’s don’t solve some lf the main problems of cars (which gas cars also have)

        Is your reading comprehension in the shitter?

        Mate, the whole comic shits on cars as a whole, each and every part that electrics and gas both share. The only thing making electric better being tailpipe emissions and nothing else.

        The messaging here is clear, eliminate the car as a concept for transport and stop accepting lukewarm solutions as anything but unacceptable.

      the people who think EVs are a full solution.

      Those people don’t exist. These kinds of arguments are only made to cause disagreement. It’s like car-racism.

          No, I said it’s LIKE racism, meaning that it has similarities.

          Literally NOBODY thinks that EVs are a “full solution” to environmental damage or climate change or whatever the whataboutism is about this week.

          It’s only beneficial to put this argument forward for two groups: Car manufacturers and oil producters.

          Then why is my neighbour down the street spewing this shit on Facebook daily? He is not a car manufacturer or oil producter.

          No, it’s because he has been lead to believe that the smug EV people are going to take his vehicle away. He has bought the lie and now he’s spreading the arguments that will fragment car owners so that nothing will ever change.

          The entire purpose is to split car users and preserve the status quo.

          This is the fuck cars community. We should hate all cars equally. When I see other posters here repeating the lies from the car and oil industries, I have to point it out.
