This was funny in the comics community.
Here however, it comes of quite a bit psychotic.
And in case it needs to be said: NO, blowing up a bridge with mostly innocent people is bad, mkay?
It’s fairly dire to assume that people in this community will read this comic and go “Oh snap! Why didn’t I think about this before?”
As I just posted in another comment, my read on the comic is that the person we see in the last panel is intentionally depicted as psychotic, and not an aspirational figure… but yeah. Don’t blow up people to prove a point about infrastructure.
We are all normal people and realize that blowing up a bridge with cars or people on it is not allowed. It would be great if motorists understood this and did not kill hundreds of people with their cars every day
Of course, motorists, people going about their day, going to work, picking their kids up from work. How dare they not understand that that killing people is bad!
But for real, most car related deaths are accidents. It has more to do with infrastructure and education, both of which not directly the fault of motorists. Feel like your blaming the wrong people.

This is the internet. Everyone is here, even the not-normal people. Even the not-normal people inclined to actually blow up bridges, who will interpret your “cars kill hundreds of people” statement as some kind of twisted casus belli. Everyone is here, even the carbrains looking for reasons to discredit urbanists.
I don’t think posting “art” like this is constructive, to put it mildly.

Motorists generally don’t go out looking to kill people, the majority probably won’t kill someone in their entire time driving, they just want to get to work/other places and try to avoid accidents (but make mistakes), and IMO they generally don’t even deserve angry looks (much less implied death) since it’s really a problem with infrastructure and policy.
