>>1821553I agree it's often best to frame things positively, and to be constructive like that, but conservative people will just read that as bullshit and on many levels it is.
Also, I think one of the reasons you have 'millions of zoomers' who are actively anti-car is that it is a positive position, they're enfranchising themselves, they're framing their thinking in a way where their goals and really, a required outcome from climate commitments, isn't something which impacts them negatively, whereas probably you, I, conservatives, and boomers, we like cars, like driving and see change in part as a sacrifice, or, want to pretend it doesn't have to be when it does. In many ways, a staunchly anti-car position is putting a positive spin on your thinking, whether that's delusional or not.
I think it's kind of the same as neets on this board who are anti-car because they never got a license or can't afford a car. It's a literal cope, but having coping strategies in life is constructive. It's better to cope and be delusional about not having the freedom of cars than to cope and watch the planet burn and have shit cities.
I have a bit of a boomer conservative position in my personal life, i have a car that i love, i'll be able to drive it for some time to come, it's not political because i'm largely anti-car but i'll just get mine while it's good. It's very easy to live that life without morphing it into a political position.
