@jensorensen@mastodon.social Realtalk: the massive upsurge in truck and SUV sizes are are about fear. It's the bunker brutalism of the 1970s (which is what ruined brutalism's reputation, really), but this time vehicles. All these buildings became bunkers because the war generation was _terrified_ of the civil rights movement and 70s crime so every new building for a while there became just a bunker. This is the same urge, but it's vehicles.
