It is a commonly held belief that cars bring freedom and independence, but the reality may be the opposite. Car dependent cities are Orwellian in many aspect...
Right, leave it to our very efficient and trustworthy governments to create non restrictive 15 min cities that everyone will enjoy lol. What could go wrong?
This ideology could be astroturfed fossil fuel propaganda, but electric cars are being mandated in most countries. Fossil fuel corps won’t hold on to a battle they’re already losing.
The 15 min city “conspiracy theory” comes from people not wanting government over reach, especially since these govs are considering centralized digital currencies. This needs to be addressed.
Otherwise we’re going to trade one dystopia for another.
The 15 minute cities conspiracy theory came from covid deniers who, when it became clear that governments weren’t trying to instate perpetual lockdowns, needed a new thing to latch on to and came up with the idea of “climate lockdowns”.
The actual 15 minutes cities idea is literally just to have the things you need daily within a 15 minute walk of your home. It’s pretty sensible and not harmful to your mobility at all. But now the guy that came up with the idea gets death threats because of people spreading this bullshit.
Most things aren’t created out of malice, like the 15 min city idea. Communism was created in the same light, people trying to come up with a better system.
If we don’t do these kinds of things very carefully though, it will be exploited. Obviously death threats aren’t the answer, but there is legit cause for concern here
The solution is in the video… It’s walkable, cycle-able cities with good public transport.

lmao nice conspiracy theory
I’ll relieve you of this debate so you can return to your regularly scheduled echo chamber time. Sorry to disturb.
I’d be happy to continue to discuss this with you, but please keep your fossil fuel funded conspiracy nonsense out of it.

You’re concerned about having a supermarket too close to your apartment?
