Wow, a complex analysis, apparently comparing pears and apples, but I
see the same mechanism at work. We cyclists are discriminated by our
choice of vehicle, but I don't want to compare bicycles with hoodies
and lose our moral superiority compared to drivers. Actually I think
the system is quite happy to have those going to prison marked with a
hoodie, but unhappy that we ride bicycles. But that's only my humble
opinion.

I'm telling you the name of the game: DEMOCRACY. It's a mind game that
works like opium. You are supposed to vote and shut up. And it's not
only exploitation but the feeling of being ignored. I'm "pushed
around" because I choose the bicycle, a proletarian vehicle that
doesn't make me part of the "consumer society." We have a car but
sometimes we don't want to feed the "beast." I live in the affluent
West, of course.

Most people simply ignore where oil is coming from or what it is doing
to the planet. In this globalized world, there's only two kinds of
people: WINNERS & LOSERS. The winners drive SUVs and live in Gated
Communities.
