Private vehicles have been getting bigger, heavier and more geometrically aggressive at an alarming rate. This has a massive negative impact for a huge number of people both locally and globally. Politicians refuse to even acknowledge that this is a problem, let alone address it. The industry solution is a race to see who can make the biggest, baddest, pedestrian-killingest luxury electric vehicle. It is absolutely necessary to make owning and operating these monstrosities in dense urban environments less appealing as fast as possible. It's been documented that these campaigns have a real impact on which vehicles people choose to buy. If all the tyre extinguishers around the world met in one city for a non-disruptive protest, it wouldn't even be enough to generate a single headline. The unprecedented state of emergency we find ourselves in both requires and justifies drastic disruptive action from anyone who is able.
You don't have to agree with it, just please stop finger wagging and telling desperate activists that they're protesting wrong. Have a better idea? Go out and show us.
