MODERATORS
Uh, while I also agree modern trucks are unnecessary large, I think you might be a tad lost. Your post history in this community is primarily disparaging vehicles. It's good conversation and all, don't get me wrong, but perhaps this kind of ragging feels more suited elsewhere.
Honestly, as one of the moderators of !fuckcars (and a NA Miata owner, BTW), this is the first version of the "big trucks bad" kind of post that doesn't bother me.
I'm usually very much not a fan of those because those threads easily devolve into missing the point that all cars are bad for urbanism, not just big ones, and end up with people virtue-signaling because they drive small cars instead of recognizing that they're still part of the problem. "Safety" (the subset that applies after already having been hit by a car, no less!) is only a tiny fraction of what !fuckcars is about.
This post, on the other hand, is pointing out the hypocrisy of that sort of thing so I'm all for it.
I think the disparity in regulation is among the (surprisingly large number of) things both communities can agree on!
Speaking of which: my Miata is for autocross and curvy mountain roads. My daily-driver is a bicycle. In fact, having options other than driving is why I can afford to own fun cars instead of practical ones!
