Meme contrasting a pedestrian’s list of rights and safety points about using a crosswalk with a wide-eyed TV character facing an older man and the caption “But I’m in a car,” mocking driver entitlement over pedestrians.

Die Macht der Worte und Medien, welche eklatante Fehler machen – #Auto #Motonomativity
Die Aufgabe von Journalismus ist eigentlich Dinge kritisch zu hinterfragen und dann darüber zu berichten. Dies sollte auch auch bei Behauptungen von Behörden immer der Fall sein. Ebenfalls muss guter Journalismus auch sich selbst immer wieder hinterfragen. Ansonsten passiert genau das, was derzeit geschieht, das Vertrauen geht verloren. Und das fängt nicht unbedingt mit der Verbreitung großer Lügen an, wobei auch oft genug der Bullshit aus der Politik einfach weitergegeben wird, obwohl offensichtlich ist, dass das nicht stimmt.

I honestly feel that it has a lot to do with a lost of humanity & ability to empathize stemming from both motonomativity & increasing use of generative AI. In terms of AI, I keep coming back to how anger is prevalent in dementia patients. Using AI for basic tasks diminishes critical thinking.

Critique of misrepresenting "We should make it better and safer for people to bike" as "Every person must ride a bike for every situation, everywhere, every single time," ending with the question, "Could we please stop this childish game?"

Two people walking on a pedestrian crosswalk, each carrying large car seats on their heads. The crosswalk is part of a street scene with a cyclist and a person sitting on a curb in the background.

A black-and-white line drawing of a coffee cup on a saucer, accompanied by text that reads: 'prioritizing youth mobility is prioritizing adult relaxing. When kids can walk/roll safely and independently, adults can enjoy some peaceful time to themselves.' The image emphasizes the benefits of safe, independent mobility for children, allowing adults to relax. Credit: Rovelo Creative.

They really shouldn't let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I'm going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.

Call me conservative, but I say we bring back the “Death-O-Meter” that keeps a running tally of those injured by cars near major intersections

Graphic titled “Culture shift” contrasts two columns labeled “Normal” and “Radical.” Under “Normal”: Accepting road violence, accepting road fatalities, accepting pedestrian fatalities, accepting cyclist fatalities, accepting excessive speeds, accepting unsafe streets, accepting pollution, accepting gridlock, accepting the loss of youth mobility, accepting the loss of senior mobility. Under “Radical”: Wanting to prevent road violence, wanting to prevent road fatalities, wanting to prevent pedestrian fatalities, wanting to prevent cyclist fatalities, wanting slower speeds, wanting safe streets, wanting less pollution, wanting less gridlock, wanting youth mobility, wanting senior mobility. Text below reads: “It’s time to rethink what’s considered normal on our streets.” Logo: The Biking Lawyer LLP with a bicycle icon.

No sidewalk. Because 5 percent of the population owns a private car.

A person walks along the edge of a paved road in Antananarivo, Madagascar, pushing a wheelchair because there is no sidewalk. Cars dominate the street design, forcing pedestrians and people with mobility aids into unsafe conditions.

A satirical graphic by Rovēlo Creative showing exaggerated reactions from various people, including shouting, screaming, and facepalming, surrounding the text "Cyclist rolling through a stop sign." Below, in contrast, the statistic "1.35M annual worldwide road traffic deaths" is presented over a barren desert scene with a lone tumbleweed, highlighting the disparity in public outrage.

Photo of three cigarette packs superimposed over an image of gridlocked traffic, symbolizing car dependency. The cigarette packs are labeled 'Gas' (standard cigarettes), 'Hybrid' (Light cigarettes), and 'EV' (Ultra Light cigarettes), representing different types of vehicle energy sources. The phrase 'TASTE THE FREEDOM' is prominently displayed, suggesting a commentary on transportation choices and their impact. Design by ROVÉLO CREATIVE.
