I now know, thanks to this forum, that SUV drivers are in fact eco/ warriors.
Did you read me pointing out that some SUVS are greener to run than their smaller counterparts as saying SUVs are green? Not really what I said.

A little bit, but I was more interested in the way this discussion developed from:-
People protesting about SUV's miss a wider point about generalised use of motor cars to-
SUV's aren't necessarily as polluting as you might think to -
People who protest about SUV's are Dickheads.
In reality, I'm not 100% convinced by the original position. To my mind - probably incorrectly - SUV's represent a fetishisation of the motor car. They are a car that isn't in any way necessary.
The reason I no longer own a car is that years ago, when I had one I realised I only ever drove it when I went on holiday, the rest of the time it just sat outside the house.
To me, driving to the shops, or driving the kids to school is just preposterous. What SUV's symbolise is that such activity is not preposterous, but rational, which is why I am conflicted.

I have always been of the opinion that people who drive SUV’s are cunts.
Over the years, I have saved a great deal of time that way.
I now know, thanks to this forum, that SUV drivers are in fact eco/ warriors.
I have also learned that people like me, ideologically opposed to SUV drivers are, and presumably always have been, cunts.
Every day is a school day.
I think that’s what Karl Marx was banging on about when he wrote ‘all that’s solid melts into air’.
