I’ve got some of this lot on my LinkedIn, of all places, all hoping to one day stop being openforwork by non-stop posting conspiracy theories where potential employers can see it. Their latest thing is that they saw The Hunger Games and decided that 15 minute cities means walled-off districts rather than simply not having to drive everywhere to get what you need.

Some of the shit I've read about 15 minute cities makes me really wonder how people take those nuts at all seriously ever again.

This is how it works now. Anything suggested to make the system a little bit better will piled on by arguments that make no sense, and don't even seem to be attacking the actual idea.

I've seen Facebook nutters screaming about 20mph limits in residential neighbourhoods.

Apparently this is a Chinese scheme called "20 minute neighbourhoods" to prevent anyone travelling outside their hometown. I'm not entirely sure of the fucking mental gymnastics required for those leaps of logic. I decided not to argue, because nobody wins pigeon chess, and also she was kind of hot.

The concept of 15 minute cities is just urban planning being used as the boogeyman.

And that basically is what we have in the Netherlands and it's awesome. Literally everyone raves about how nice it is when they see it but they hate evil government 15 minute cities

It's amazing to me how that happened. It almost feels like it's part of some one-upmanship campaign for different propagandists.

One says "Ok, I'm going to take a boring, UN plan about sustainable development called 'Agenda 21' and make people think it's some evil conspiracy, despite the full text being available online."

The other says: "Nicely done, but you think that's good, I can make people hate the concept of pleasant, walkable cities!"

No no, you see, they WON, that's why! /s

They are projecting. It would be nice if we as a society had enough resources to ask them what really makes them feel bad.

they think they won a giant victory sigh

Because they got called out, questioned about their reasoning, and had no good rebutle. Question everything, and show your sources.

I'm very happy I have very little real-life experience with any of the anti-vax idiocy, and that it wasn't really a big thing in my country. Seeing all of the conservative 'muricans loose their minds over it has been both hilarious and frightening.
