The premise of /r/frickcars is that dependency on car use is damaging to nature & society and we should be moving away from that; it's a slightly edgy position but most people will be able to agree with it to some degree. Recently, it has had a massive jump in activity and started to pull in more normies as it hits /r/all much like /r/antiwork did. This has, of course, generated a lot of arguments as the invading suburban boomers don't want to give up their lawn and extremists in the sub want everyone to live in pods and eat bugs from the communal trough.
I dont want to live in an apartment
You're either selfish or don't see the wider picture.
Apparently all the problems this poster has with high density living can be solved by construction companies not cutting corners ( 
) and having communal everything. Grow plants? Communal garden. Cook meat? Go to a restaurant. Want a house party? Just have an expensive communal party at the bar. 
At this point in /r/antiwork's life, the /r/all invaders won the consensus and the majority of activity on antiwork skewed away from literally just not working (as the sub founders intended) and more towards worker rights and shitty fake text message posts. After the normification, it was picked up by the media which eventually culminated in our favorite greasy dog-walker's interview.
r/frickcars is prime for the same thing to happen if the normies manage to soften the extremist positions in the sub's message as they did with antiwork. It hits a lot of mainstream progressive talking points (environmentalism, social problems, etc) and it will generate a lot of clicks but is not too controversial so is perfect for the mainstream media to latch on to. Although having 'frick' in the name might be a barrier to going mainstream.
/r/frickcars has a more reasonable position than 'nobody should need to work' and the member interviewed in the linked article managed to not sperg out, but they do look like a prime candidate for dog walking so we may yet have another Doreen situation.
