I want my

So much of the argument for cars, housing, indedpendence, "freedom", boils down to this simple sentence, "I want my".

Correct. The car industry intentionally socially engineered the US to associate the giant individual and social burden of car ownership with freedom. A great documentary called Century of the Self covers this and other related things ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s )

Man, my parents are such fools. Driving me to school, to putt-putt, ice cream. Then, off to work in their car just to make a payment and buy gas and cover my college tuition. The doctoral thesis of my post capitalism art history professor proves they were scammed by their capitalist overlords.

Wow, someone named “der_einzige” arguing for egoism! What a surprise!
