>>1561260>Drivers are not "car people"I understand that. I'm a 'car person', but i rarely drive.
But are there, or aren't there car people, who get angry at people cycling on the road and perceive that those people inconvenience them?
To me, that is what matters in terms of hating something. The rest is really semantics. Having an abstract appreciation for a machine, or a lack of distaste for it, is really neither here nor there. And you suggest actually car people's distaste is caught up in social/political ideas, but actually I think it's, most often when it's strongly felt, not that complicated at all.
And that the difference between a 'car person' and an appliance tier regular person who drives, in their attitude towards cyclists on the road, is likely irellevant. Except possibly the car person might also be a cyclist/ someone interested in design & technology. As you say. But really, so what? That doesn't even matter.
For example, I love cars. I love working on cars. I know quite a lot about them. I own and have owned several cool cars. But I dislike car-centric society (in a soulless and practical fashion) and people driving. It's not to say I want some unrealistic eradication of them. But a middleground between nothing changing and your strawman. Now, using your own logic, is all that irellevant just because I appreciate the machines themselves, or atleast, a tiny minority of the cool ones?
