You can be a normal person and still wish human societies didn’t pour so much time, effort, and money into destroying the planet for greed and convenience. You are allowed to have a negative view of cars without being a zealot. If anything, this actually makes you a well adjusted human being. Who in their right mind would wish for more pollution, more highways, more destruction, and less wildlife? But this is still portrayed as an extremist, irrational point of view because it makes it easier to dismiss. It’s big oil’s playbook for global warming. Although it’s becoming a more accepted point of view, we’re still ways off. What if it’s already too late?
