Literally advocating for 15 minute cities. Couldn't get more stereotypical and Orwellian if you tried.

Orwell is when you live near a park and a grocery store

And you're not allowed to go further than that

Buddy, is that deadass what do you think a 15 minute city is?
Holy shit lmfao, I have no words

What do you think "15 minute city" refers to?
Since it sounds like you think it's this
Celestini explained that the conspiracy theory behind 15-minute cities is that it's a form of government take-over.
People are fearful of a scenario where people would have digital identifications on them and would be forced to stay within a 15-minute radius around their homes, and that if people traveled beyond those boundaries, they would be tracked and targeted in different ways.
It isn't. No one is trying to do that.

Literally no one is advocating for locking people into their own 15 minute city. No one is even suggesting that everyone needs to live in one. They're just suggesting that some people might like that option, and that it's probably a good idea to give people the option to live in a 15 minute city.

That's the problem with you guys. You never think about tomorrow.
Tell me, what happened during Jim Crow when they disarmed black people? In Germany when they disarmed the Jews? And now lefties still want to disarm the people. What happened to the Native Americans when millions of Europeans came in? And y'all still want to bring in millions of immigrants. I can go on, but those are the easiest examples I have.

What does any of that have to do with 15 minute cities?
Also, I guess I should ask before this gets too far... What do you think a 15 minute city is?
-
What do you think a ghetto is? A real ghetto?

I lived in Montreal for a decade, living near all the amenities I needed at a walking distance and I managed to do everything without owning a car. When I wanted to get out of town I rented one for the week-end.
I never felt locked in.

Does New York City and its transit systems not exist in your world?

-
most of the towns all throughout human history must have been Orwellian dystopias then
-
What a dumb take. They didn't have good plumbing either, should we go back to that also?

Please stop flaunting your humiliation kink in public

Poe's law is dead and I can't tell if this is a joke.

It's not; that guy is a Nazi troll.
