    Oh the car companies probably, I’m not saying it’s happening but it’s an age old tactic to fund groups with extreme options, you hype them up into saying things like ‘no one needs a car’ then you put in your other hat and go over to everyone else saying 'look at this crazy, they say no one needs car but that’s because the don’t understand rural areas/ disabled people / women / trade workers… (Delete as appropriate for the person you’re talking to)

    Then if they hear a sensible argument against cars the man in the hat says ‘oh they’re trying to sneak in the fuckcars stuff my the back door, remember how they want to take your car away because they don’t care about your situation…’

    Again I’m not saying this is what’s happening, I’m just saying how a very common tactic of PR happens, the oil companies have done it loads.
