It’s genuinely insane that anyone is allowed to put that on a road

    I was talking with a colleague once and he told me to type soemthig (can’t remember the name) into google, and that thing came up.

    Apparently there is a company, american of course that takes already big toy trucks and turns them into… that.

    Their website is full of like post apocalyptic talk. Cuz you know, a giant trucking guzzling gallons of a ressource that will be hard to come by, full of electronics that will stop working after even a tiny EMP hits, will be very useful.

      Fascists are all about surface aesthetics. That’s why everything’s about “optics” and “narrative” these days. They don’t have a sense of solid reality to any of it. So they see a film like Fury Road and think, ‘yes, cool. I must be like Joe’.

      They have no sense that Immortan Joe is a desperate fool who has squandered the humanity of everyone in his orbit. If you try to talk about themes and interpretations, you will be met with scorn. That’s my experience.

        But Immortan Joe’s got the peeps (he’s popular)! He must be fetching Valhalla (he must be doing something right)!

        The fact that Joe has peeps and you don’t makes him a better warrior than you! /s

      There is a use for dual tires for towing large trailers but not really like that and the extended cab makes it worse for doing any actual work.
