Wow. Petro-masculinity. I feel all swole with pride just thinking about that. And I had no idea I was maintaining my performative masculinity by driving a pickup. Here I thought it was the ******.

"Styling trends are almost as alarming. Pickup truck front ends have warped into scowling brick walls, billboards for outwardly directed hostility. “The goal of modern truck grilles,” wrote Jalopnik’s Jason Torchinsky in 2018, “seems to be… about creating a massive, brutal face of rage and intimidation.”"
"To Albert, the booming appeal of bigger and more brutish trucks reflects “a crisis of masculinity,” he says. “Nothing could be more emasculating than driving a minivan. So you want the vehicle that’s going to maintain your performative masculinity.”"
"Daggett coined the term “petro-masculinity” to describe flamboyant expressions of fossil fuel use by men (and some women as well, but mostly men) as a reaction against social progress. To these drivers, “the affront of global warming or environmental regulations appear as insurgents on par with the dangers posed by feminists and ***** movements seeking to leach energy and power from the state/traditional family,” she wrote."
“Burning fossil fuels can come to function as a knowingly violent experience,” Daggett writes, “a reassertion of white masculine power on an unruly planet that is perceived to be increasingly in need of violent, authoritarian order.”

If the author of the article is offended that people drive trucks, and people who drive trucks are offended that the author is offended that people drive trucks.
Who is more offended?
Disclaimer: I meant that as a joke that people are offended that people drive trucks and not a comment on people posts previous to mine.

Yeah, that part didn't ring true. It's driving a Prius that saps your masculinity. But s/he/it(pronounced shee-it) probably borrows their Mom's Prius and didn't want to **** her(assuming Mom still identifies as a woman, and after seeing how her kid turned out, that's unlikely) off.
And because they go off road and carry lots of weapons. Don't forget the weapons. Although the Raptor isn't ideal for that because the load limit is only 1200lb and you have to leave most of your weapons at home. And the ammo. Ammo is heavy. And weapons without ammo are like bicycles without seats. Maybe the author would be happier if you shoved your weapon where the seatpost usually goes ... you're even disgusting me with that thought. What a sicko.

From her Twitter description:
“Covering the movement for sustainable transport, mobility justice, and livable streets, nationwide.”
I didn’t know Mobility needed justice? I wonder who wronged Mobility.
This feels like code for her not being happy till everyone rides a bike or drives a pedal car.

New Title: "Why Leftists hate big trucks and despise the people who drive them"
New Paragraph 1: "Most people who drive big trucks supported Trump and are white and male and straight and pro-petro, we hate whites and Trump and straight men and petro and the big trucks they drive, we are very angry"
The End

Sorry, you're not allowed to just like the truck. We all know that it's “a reassertion of white masculine power on an unruly planet that is perceived to be increasingly in need of violent, authoritarian order.” If you're not actually white or male, you're going to have to identify that way or we take the Raptor and give it to someone more deserving ... and if you don't get your unruly planet in order, it's off to bed with no dinner for you.
Except out here, all the left-leaning, tree-hugging folks I know actually own big pickups. They're in favor of making them illegal, but have no intention of suffering without one unless everyone else has to suffer as well. I wish we could make them ride @Oldfart's bicycle exclusively.

Man, I think you hit the nail on the head! That should be on a mandatory t-shirt for Joe and his followers.

I’m pretty sure the “author” was speaking specifically about the “squat”, “lean”, mainly GM Junk crowd. They seem to fit the descriptions most accurately.

Bloomberg "news", who even reads that crap. She needs to RUN to her safe space. After all, she only has 9 years left. I guess the thing that really gets me, is that she got paid to write that crap. I want to get paid for the crap I write. I have male white privilege, where is my money?
