High [petrol] prices are revving up this online anti-car movement – CNET

Jason Slaughter began making YouTube videos to document his family’s move from Toronto to Amsterdam a few years ago. That’s how the 45-year-old IT professional became an inadvertent hero of the growing anti-car movement online.
Posting to his orange-themed channel, Slaughter focused on the differences between transportation in North America and the Netherlands, which he chose for its car-free lifestyle. One video details a short but treacherous walk in Houston that required pedestrians to inch over a bridge with little separating them and speeding traffic.
The 17-minute video, which was uploaded about a year ago, struck a nerve with r/fuckcars, a vehemently anti-automobile Reddit community advocating for urban design that’s less reliant on driving.
