There's a conspiracy theory that what 15 minute cities secretly means is that you'll be confined in a sector of the city and unable to leave without a permit or something.
Why anyone would think that, no idea!
I don't think it makes any logical sense. It doesn't need to, because that's not the point.
Repeat the buzzwords (15 minute cities, WEF, replacement theory, etc) on Facebook or Twitter and the lunatic followers/bots will magically appear to follow, like and subscribe you up the social media pages.
Possibly because that’s actually what the fascists want.
In car-centric American cities however, that would be impossible. You can't just block the single street that leads out of the neighborhood!
Oh, wait.
Authoritarians are poor at distinguising "is allowed to" from "is forced to." This is also why they hate gay people-- they think that if someone else is allowed to be gay, that'll mean that everyone will be compelled to.
The reality is that they fear freedom. They like the taste of boot.
Yeah because in their dreams girls should be compelled to have sex with them, so it's a kind of twisted but understandable logic I guess.
And why would a bunch of never-left-their-staters even care in the first place? They clearly don't want freedom of movement
Because that's what Republicans would do, obviously.
Or like, why do they think this couldn't happen in a city with cars?
They can just block the roads and cars are worthless.
