Having a vehicle that emits more pollution, does more damage to roads, and is more likely to kill pedestrians is pretty fucking selfish and deserving of hate.
The responsibility of pollution is not on individuals. The pollution from mega corps compared to the every day man is a staggering exponential difference.
More likely to kill pedestrians? All vehicles can kill pedestrians. How is this even a talking point you idiots parrot back and forth.
It’s also on individuals, our purchasing choices shape what corporations decide to make. if people only bought fuel efficient vehicles companies wouldn’t build these idiotic mega polluting trucks.
And trucks are vastly more dangerous for pedestrians than other vehicles. they have massive blind spots, and weight a shitton more. As trucks have kept getting bigger, pedestrian deaths have gone up, that’s why we bring it up.
Why don’t you just let him enjoy what he wanted? If he wanted something else, he’d get something else?
The truck hate on lemmy is pretty cringe

Would you rather get hit by a Ford F-150 or a Ford Focus? Seriously, imagine you’re walking and one of those things plows into you.
They’re unnecessarily dangerous to everyone else. There are plenty of studies to back up the obvious
I don’t think it’s hate, more like second hand embarrassment.
@linux.community
Yeah I’d be embarrassed constantly if I was you too
Help! I got burnt!
Back to the GNUlag you go!
It suits most of us Americans well! Big, fat, slow, and ugly but full of potential which most of us will never realize! Just the way God intended.

I don’t.
I don’t have the room or the skills to grow enough food to feed my family of three by myself.
Sure, how do you propose I go about doing that?
Nah, I’ll still judge people who buy giant gas guzzling trucks and don’t use them for hauling things all the time.
Guess what? I judge him too! Believe it or not, you can judge multiple types of vehicles that people own!
