Today it's the thread for exploring nuance:
As the initiator of the Mikey is a cunt derail, I've always been something of a car guy.
But, I've always thought internal combustion and car-centrism are entirely stupid, and am militantly opposed to the marginalisation of cycling.
I'm hard, hard left (I don't believe in the private sector; everything should be governed by everyone), but could also describe myself as a staunch libertarian - there needs to be a law against laws which aren't absolutely necessary.
Mikey is on a mission for a heart-rending reason - all power to him for that (wasn't aware of his backstory), and may he inspire an army of militant defenders of vulnerable road users, but I'm damn sure he's applying faulty assessment criteria.
Anyone who invokes the state against another citizen, and crosses the line between - protecting others from a menace | using flaws in the system to multiply their own menace by the power of the state, can fuck right off.
Through this lens, an act like this puts Mikey in the same basket as the vile corporate filth who own our governments, bringing us this car-dominated burning of Gaia at the stake in the first place.
