That's true. I got to the op article through this one: https://www.der-postillon.com/2025/06/sonntagsfrage-tempo-30-berlin.html
Would this be a good fit? (I don't speak German)

I wish I was that clever, but no. It's from a researcher named Ian Walker, coined in a very interesting article. It has its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonormativity
Also mainstream articles: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579510/car-brain-motornormativity-study-ian-walker
And a video by GCN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_4GZnGl55c
I'm surprised that by being in the fuck cars community you never heard the term!
I'm lost... Can you ELI5?
If the Onion is not out of business yet, it will be soon. Reality is more ridiculous than what they can come up with...
I draw the concept, or write down the formula or even a sentence, on a shared board/screen etc. So I can clearly show my understanding and check where the other person understanding is different.
It means that we have to work together to come to a common understanding.
I cannot read the article, but a part of me wishes that the USA forces Europe to become more indipendent.

There is no need to express opinions when we have good estimates for both your questions:
Sector by sector: where do global greenhouse gas emissions come from? -> https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector
individual solutions reviewed and assessed by Project Drawdown, including their relevant sector(s) and their impact on reducing heat-trapping gases -> https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions
Both the links above are from a very interesting video on the topic that I suggest to take a look at. Also the whole channel is really interesting and well done -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReXaS4QausQ
Wow, this is visionary.
What are your interests?
In the meantime you could follow a couple of communities is where people share interesting videos:

The letter is from 30 associations among which the one of the website I linked. Try to contact them
Also I drive a van and I think it’s cool since obviously I’m cool and so my car kinda has to be, too, so I’m not sure if I agree with your first point
sorry, my mistakes. Vans can be absolutely cool. I think the electric one from VW is extremely cool. It's just not the kind of cool that people with fragile masculinity would desire

You can add a "cycling style" to OsmAnd, the FOSS mapping app for android
(osmand-rendering.github.io)
Thank to this toot i discovered that you can add custmo maaping styles to OsmAnd, and some smart guys made the effort to write some for particular cases.
It looks nice:
OsmAnd is an open source offline mapping app for Android. It allows for a lot of customization, and has advanced modes to edit gpx paths, analyze them, filter POIs etx.

Thanks to a clear and defined strategy, the car number has decreased by 34% since 2017, and the number of cyclists has increased by 70%. In a city where the transit is really excellent.
These are the results that you get when you build quality infrastructure, as already seen in Paris
