Motornormativity also messes with people's understanding of life before cars, causing them to believe that every household owned a horse and buggy before they switched to owning automobiles.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 3mo agoI'm continually impressed at how motornormativity causes people to create a revisionist history of American cities where they sprouted up fully formed and filled with cars and parking spots. Motornormativity also causes these people to ignore the many places that have reversed car dependency.
