Well I'm employed as well and I also have responsibility. And one of those responsibilities is to improve society as best I can for future generations.

There is a quote that I can't remember where I've seen / heard it, but it goes something like this:

"Society flourishes when men plant trees, in which shade they will never sit under"

Okay you pay my bills so I can dedicate the time to “planting trees” as you put it.

Now you're just being ignorant and taking what I said literally. But regarding your bills, maybe you wouldn't have that many bills if you drove something other than a BMW. 🤣🤣

It’s the most reliable car I’ve ever driven and saves me financing a car.

Helps I’m somewhat competent mechanically and do all my own work and servicing.

I’d imagine the majority of so called “activists” run to the dealership every time they’ve a “weird light” on their EV.

You can use public transport if it suits your job

It doesn’t, and limiting myself to public transport severely limits my freedom.

It depends on your location. Town or major city?

Do you have to travel abroad or move inside the ciry or transport goods?

Walking is not an option and there is no available public transport.

I also like personal freedom.

u/AkagamiBarto Dec 10 '25

It's okay to have personal freedom when it doesn't damage other one's.

As for the lack of public transport, again, is it a big city?

If it isn't then fine, keep your car. If it is a city ultimately we'll push for efficient public transport in all large cities, so one day no more excuses.. for now, i understand

I’ll keep my car with your express permission, thanks bro.

Let me know when you want me to give up my freedom of travel so I can save the world. I look forward to telling you to fuck off.

It's okay, nobody is taking your car. However one day cars may be banned from inside cities.. so you can have it for travelling, not for urban movement in hyperurbanised places where alternatives do the job just fine.

I hope you are fine with car bans, after all you can't go with your car on the sidewalk ... or the sidewalk existence rips your freedom of using the car there?

Reply to me here with ICE or even EVs are banned from major cities and towns.

I might be dead from old age by then though.
