you ever see someone accidentally sum up everything wrong with political discourse
Saw this one myself, in one reply he said something like "if people are too lazy to walk 10 extra feet then bla bla bla." I bet Gabriel drives most places. At the very least, I doubt he walks places much. I've had people in cars call me lazy for taking certain shortcuts during a two-hour round-trip set of errands they wouldn't be caught dead making on foot. i've had people online who drive everywhere call me lazy for wanting amenities and transit stops closer to home. living in a north american suburb AND being unable to afford a car means being called lazy by people 100x lazier than you on the regular
i DO get a kind of fucked up sense of rugged, gritty pride out of my stupid circumstances though. like there's a road near my place that's only-barely not a freeway and it has a sidewalk despite being kind of miserable to walk alongside. i use that sidewalk pretty often, though i wish i didn't have to. i've only encountered another pedestrian along that particular stretch of road once in 4 years of living here.
sometimes i think to myself "why is this sidewalk even here, i'm the only person who ever uses it" and while i mostly think this in frustration, there is that strange sense of pride. my stubborn, unwavering commitment to Walking to the Weed Store is kind of heroic if you think about it. truly only i am tough and cool and manly enough to walk down this shitty sidewalk
Suburban American homeowners are, in the main, the most reactionary sacks of crap on the planet.
The primary function of suburbia is producing reactionaries
