#victimblaming — Public Fediverse posts

dane here. i talk to many who are scared of #cycling because of #cars.

either they've been attacked or threatened themselves, or they know someone who was hurt badly by #carviolence. many drivers in their increasingly huge #SUVs are distracted by their phones.

a colleague of mine was struck from the side by a van that illegally didn't yield. the driver rushed out to check if his car had any scratches, but didn't bother checking on the cyclist he hit. that's the #copenhagen mentality.

the relentless #victimblaming doesn't help either. #cops will always call it an "accidental #accident" or a "bicycle accident" as if the bicycle is at fault when some distracted driver crushes them. or "the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet," as the newspapers always write it.

sure, #bicycle paths can be crowded — but the reason the space gets so tight on there is that most of the city space is dedicated to the less space-efficient vehicles.

blaming #ebikes (instead of cars) for less bikable cities is like blaming refugees for your rent being too high (instead of landlords), or yelling at a wheelchair user for taking up all the pavement space.

Was das #Mobbing, wie es von z.B. mastodon.art, xim.ca, mstdn.social und deren Freaks mit einem machen können: https://tly.be/pbOoe

Das Fediverse ist kein Safe-Space. Für niemanden, wenn Personen wie WelshPixie, Alex, Schratze oder Rysiek jemanden mit ihren Lügen bis hin zu Suizidgedanken treiben!

I've not planned to translate the text to English. If you need it in another language, use deepl.com and NOT Google Translate!
