>The 11/10ths cynical and optimistic take is that the sooner we make things so bad that the people who don't wanna be involved get involve the sooner the people who think these sorts of "turn people on each other" things are good will, um, return their carbon to the environment.
It never really plays out into violence. France implemented speed trap cams all over their highways and I'm sure they are all 100% calibrated and only ever give out legitimate tickets...
So what happens? People stop driving on the highways. They hit the backroads where those speedtraps dont exist. Then those backroads get WRECKED. They havent had the investment or design for this sudden change in usage.
Hell, I used to live in a small city. Per capita speeding tickets issued was often listed as highest in north america. Year after year. So what did I do? I left. I dont even speed, but it's obvious why the city is in huge decline for decades. Why they objectively have one of the worst brain drain per capita issues in the world.
