Jaywalking is just one symptom of the collapse of civilisation
With the greatest of respect, bullshit! Jaywalking was invented by the US Automobile industry to make it easier to drive, and therefore sell, cars.

I'm aware of that argument, and was expecting it. Within the limits of what I could be arsed to type on mobile, I thought the shorthand would be sufficient and most people would be able to look past the narrow US legal meaning to see the broader concept of walking in the carriageway without regard to the safety or confort of other users.
There is a much graver problem, which I attribute to similar social causes, of jay-driving.

Because they wish they were entitled cunts, but it turns out the only real agency they have in their pathetic little lives is to make other people's lives worse. Jaywalking is just one symptom of the collapse of civilisation. As we gradually return to feudalism, expect the peasants to become ever more revolting.
