Sometimes, we must face reality.

Why would I accept a reality that I think is fucked? No I am not gonna do that.

None of this applies to whatever the fuck the original post is about though.

Yeah but side tangents are fun.

I claim that this particular aspect of reality is actually fine, definitely acceptable and possibly even good. As I said, new/better car safety features do reach the cheapest models within a number years, making it a net good. Of all the things car companies do wrong, such as privacy, I really don't think this is one of them.

As for directly answering you, "Why would I accept a reality that I think is fucked?" -- I think I'm misinterpreting you when I interpret that as you basically living outside of reality. That's an option, I don't think it's a good one.

When I say accept I mean any of the first 4 definitions from Merriam Webster excluding 3c.

Of all the things car companies do wrong, such as privacy, I really don’t think this is one of them.

My problem isn't with car companies it is with capitalism just to make it clear what I am against.

Thanks for being my first non-toxic conversation on Lemmy :D
