Those are all good goals, but the problem is it is being shoved down our throats everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump, while people are just trying to not starve and/or become homeless. The "15 Minute Cities" initiative is also hotly debated as people would be looking at giving up a ton of individual freedoms and it looks like a slippery slope to not being allowed to leave without requiring permission from some sort of authority. There is a massive development in my town (130k pop) that literally has "Sustainable development means making the right decisions NOW" plastered on the plywood fence surrounding the dev. They are putting retail and commercial at ground floor, with 8 stories of "condos" above. ONE driveway in and out, and limited parking planned. How easy would it be to....just NOT ALLOW you to leave? Plenty of nosy Little Hitlers would sign up for that.
"But THX1138, WHY would you need to go anywhere? Everything here is provided for you" Yeah, miss me with that dystopian crap.
Reality SHOULD be" shoved down your throat", you believe nonsense conspiracy theories and do not have a right to avoid said reality. Wanting to be able to walk or bike or take a train to work the next town over is not some authoritarian conspiracy. You legit sound like nazis sending away physisists with their "Jewish science
What exact "conspiracy theories" is it that im believing in, again? Careful , maybe do some Googling before opening your mouth this time.
For example, you somehow believe that 15 minute cities would require permission to leave? That's not just a conspiracy theory, it's a crackpot conspiracy theory.
"Oh no, because I have all necessities close by, I might never be allowed to leave!"
I was sure that i said it was a slippery slope.
Yes, it's a direct slippery slope to the Holocaust. Today you don't need a car for shopping, tomorrow you wake up in the gas chamber. Why else do they need to concentrate people in cities? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
You didn't explain what individual freedoms one has to give up when all necessities are reachable in 15 minutes or less, but that's not necessary, is it?
