US society (IIRC you're a US citizen) definitely is car centric. The issue people have with FuckCars is how it puts the responsibility of the situation to the cars (and their owners) rather than the policies leading to that situation.

!publictransport@slrpnk.net could maybe a less "fuck them" alternative

But !fuckcars@lemmy.world isn't just about public transport. It's also about cycling. And walking. And building cities such that walking or cycling are actually viable, not just because there are good bike paths/footpaths, but also because paths are well-shaded, roads are narrow and easy to cross, and the distances you have to travel are lower because density is higher and localities are mixed-use with local businesses. It's about all the ways that motonormativity is shit.
