Die Dämonisierung von zivilem Engagement nimmt wirklich gespenstische Züge an. Mir macht es Angst, wie Einspruch gegen rechtsradikale, autoritäre Positionen angefeindet wird. Einspruch gegen Menschenverachtung ist nicht nur ein grundgesetzliches Recht - es ist unsere demokratische Pflicht.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving.
