Cars and trucks are backwards.
I disagree. Consider the actual difference between a car and a truck.
Pretty good example of symbolic vs. concrete thinking.
When I hear the word “car” I think of people in an urban environment, wearing business casual on their way to work, politely obeying the etiquette and rules of the road, perhaps enjoying a chai tea or a latte; etc. The cogs of the machine of capitalism functioning at various capacities across various modalities using the most fuel-efficient means of transport to move about.
Conversely, when I think “truck”, I picture something like a somewhat beat-up 1995 F-150, its front grill covered in mud, with hay bales stacked up in its bed and a shitty old toolbox under the rear window that the owner can’t bear to get rid of even though neither of the latches work and he has to use bungee cords to hold it shut. The vehicle of the individualistic rural man.
Whereas the actual, physical difference between cars and trucks is that cars are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and less obstreperous in general than trucks (i.e. less literally dependent on the machine of capitalism to function than trucks are).
^Which kind of misses the point of your metaphor for increasingly scale’d-up modes of transportation representing progressive steps toward the Human Instrumentality Project, but still. Just seeing the text
“Cars: Individualism
Trucks: Capitalism”
made my autistic burger-sense flare up something fierce.
Nigger, when he says truck, he means lorry or semi. Damn melonboons, get off my lawn!
Welp, I reread Aeolis post. My reading comprehension is off the proverbial charts, but in the opposite direction of Tex.
My take on it:
Cars: Capitalism
Trucks: Libertarianism
Semis: Individualism
How many truckers do you know? Can you define a lot lizard without googling it?

Also, if you can’t put the ass end of a 57 foot tractor-trailer combo into a 12 foot hole hole on your first try, you are a literal subhuman.
Also, a lot lizard is a type of bipedal reptile endemic to the North American continent that will suck your dick for five dollars.
*12 foot wide hole
Ophiuchus, you remind me of my little brother.
He looks just like vox day. Except actually white.

I actually physically resemble Vox Day pretty closely, albeit with a more elongated face, an upturned rather than hooked nose, and a lack of visuospatial retardation.
Phrenology is real yada yada etc etc
