  • Fascism doesn't have to model reality, just knit together a story that confirms underlying biases of the "middle class" without questioning the system that privileged them, but is failing.

    Leftists have the advantage in that we can describe exactly why your material conditions are eroding while we are more productive than ever, but for someone who was privileged under capitalism, its easier to believe the system that privileged them is good and just, its just foreigners and minorities who are exploiting them.

  • That doesnt really match my experience, every region has a distinct reason they don't use turn signals; American drivers are too self-centered to signal, Indian drivers don't use the turn signals because it broke 12 years and 800,000km ago, Vietnamese drivers/riders are too busy on their phones or stretching their legs to use a turn signal (vinfast drivers are just afraid it will drain the battery), South Korean drivers will have already made the turn or merge by the time the light reaches other drivers so they don't bother.

  • Every driver in China is like that. The popular consensus seems to be if other drivers know what you plan to do, they will use it against you.

  • The STUPID Laws That Make THIS a ‘Bicycle'

    Jump

  • In most countries, <50cc scooters have no liscense requirements and therefore quite popular. They're not popular in the US because they also have the requirements of a 1000cc bike.

    The core issue here is that motorbikes are overregulated in the US compared to cars.

    My perspective is biased because I've only lived in car-hell where it was extremely dangerous to ride a motorbike, and places where riding ~<150cc motorbikes and high power electrics on bike paths or even sidewalks, at relevant speeds, was perfectly acceptable, and its not uncommon to see electric scooters doing 35 on a road or 8 on a sidewalk.

    Maybe the solution is to have speed limits for sidewalks and bikelanes.

  • I am in Sa Pa right now, but most of the cities are like that, especially the smaller ones. They could do a little more for pedestrians, sometimes you have to walk on the street, though it doesnt feel unsafe, and only the steepest places have stairs for pedestrians, but I really like this town.

    Nothing will solidify your hate for cars more than seeing literally hundreds of riders stop every 5 minutes because 3 cars have to come to a complete stop every time theres an oncoming bus or van.

    It’s not even license requirement

    Isn't it? My understanding from the video is he wants this popular non-car mode of transportation to regulated the same way that motorscooters of similar power are regulated. If this happens, I expect these unregulated motorbikes to become as unpopular as regulated ones, as former riders go with the next most convenient way to do 55mph, a car.

  • I'm not saying no laws should protect people from themselves, but there is a big difference between a machine that is likely to harm someone else vs just the operator when operated unsafely.

  • Its been achieved here in vietnam, and I wouldnt be surprised if parts of several chinese cities were close to that.

    Its actually crazy being able to cross a city or town without having to stop for traffic (outside hcmc and hanoi) and park 3 feet from that cool place you just saw's entrance.

    As long as addressing the issue discourages riding, its better to kick the can down the road.

  • 100/hour? That might be enough, but we really want wider safety margins, don't you think?

  • We can address this after cars make up less than 10% of traffic. Until then, subjecting ebikes with less power than a 49cc toy to the same requirements as a 1000+cc bike only serves to encourage driving.

    Hell subjecting that 1000cc bike to greater requirements than a an f150 is insane.

  • Wait, did my neighbor spend a year screaming at anybody that tried to tell the guy killing baby after baby that if he doesn't stop it, someone else is going to come kill 10 babies?

    This isn't a good metaphor. The libs who got us here aren't the victims.

  • Learning what they did doesn't help, the only tool we have to make sure ratfucking isn't an effective way for conservatives to gain power. When progressives get ratfucked, the republican agenda moves forward no matter if a republican or republican-lite who is happy to work with republicans wins.

  • Yes, thats the fucking democrats. They knew genocide, sending cops to kick the shit out of the politically engaged young people that make up the core of dem ground game, while calling them antisemitic, that trying to be republicans all lower turnout with the base, they did it anyway, they intend to do it again.

  • So why is your ire with the people who don't trust the guy who refuses to stop killing a baby every day? You get the guy to stop killing a baby every day and you'll have no issue getting people to trust them over the guy who kills 5.

    But its really, really difficult to get people to enthusiastically support the guy who killed a baby every day, and promises to do it again.

    It would be trivial if instead of killing babies, they stopped killing babies, then I could say "vote for our guy, the other guy is promising to resume the genocide", but instead we had dipshits in November of 2022 telling us to vote for more dead babies instead of telling the only alternative to the republicans "what the fuck, are you trying to lose?"
