    People are so bad a naming causes.

    This toxic ass community is the same as BLM and anti work. Both have good intentions but alienate most people with their terrible names.

    At least anti work had a better named workreform equivalent. But BLM shoulda be accountability for killer cops or something. I bad at naming shit too but hopefully you get my point.

    Fuck cars is about infrastructure and mostly just cities. But it’s so terriblely named it will never catch on.

      Fuck cars is mostly a meme community spreading ideas from the larger urbanist movement, which has the benefit of having a less hostile-sounding name.

      The meme community inarguably manages to recruit new people into the urbanist movement, and I haven’t seen strong evidence that it’s alienating more people than it is recruiting, fwiw.
