Are you afraid of a little discussion about cars in the fuck cars community? Do you want an echo chamber or a forum?
Is this a serious question? You're in a place called "fuck cars".
Edit: You can tell from their response that this is as far as they read.
Here is the description from the sidebar:
It's not about being "afraid of a little discussion". It's about being able to read the room. The basis for this forum is that cars are "bad". If you want to defend cars, you're in the wrong place. People here have already decided that cars are bad enough that they say "fuck cars."
If you go into the "Science" community and want to post to defend astrology, and somebody says, "Really? You're going to defend astrology in a science community?" it's not an issue of being "afraid of a little discussion" or of it being "an echo chamber". It's that everybody there has decided that astrology is not worth defending in that place.
You could have just responded with "echo chamber".
