Oh, wait, it’s not a bit and there are dozens of them in this thread. Look at the full comments and scroll down for more blood and soil urbanists

The conservative stance is predicated on government doing little but doing the little they’re supposed to do (prosecuting crime) extremely well.

    Anti-car people who don’t advocate for things like mass transit are my least favorite people, mostly because they’re all gentrifying yuppies who can afford to live close enough to their fake email jobs to bike/walk without having to rub elbows with us scary poors and ethnics.

      What about ones who hate bikes and only want money to go to buses/trains lol? I argued with someone yesterday on my city sub railing against bike lanes because they “only benefit white males with high-paying office jobs and they’re a waste of money”

      A lot of them have absolutely now idea how a rural living condition or the living conditions of less fortunate countries are

      Their whole platform is akin to rich fuckboys living in Amsterdam

    Gee I sure am glad police don’t side with the institutions that make interstates and car dependent infrastructure ubiquitous

    I noticed this sort of thing recently when looking at Christmas decorations, specifically those ceramic Christmas village buildings you stick a light bulb in the back of to make it look like the building is lit up. It’s the most traditional, old-fashioned way to depict a proper Christmastime yet is built around an urban model (walkable town/city, small businesses, density) that conservatives don’t actually want to live in.

      A large part of conservatives kind of do? All the 50s ad (or AI generated 50s retro ad) trad conservatives keep depicting very much walkable, small towns and jerk off over them. It’s just their political approach to the stated end goal goes along the line of only-throw

      It sort of stems from the core issue of main character of the road symptom I think. They want to live in these quaint tradcath sundown towns except they also like big cars because bicycles are gay, which basically leaves you at an ideological dead end as to what you should do

    Hey they have free speech rights and are free to say that they want a nice walkable urban community in which they can watch black and brown people get bludgeoned to death by militarized fascist Stormtroopers. Censorship!!
