@Loukas I'm sorry what why
Does it stand for "everything within 15 minutes of walking"? If so, why the fuck is it a dirty word? Has anti-livable-urbanism gotten to that point?
@ShadowJonathan @Loukas "They're coming for your cars! You'll need a passport to go to the mall!"
Even as someone who has been around the web since it was born, it's astonishing.
@ShadowJonathan @Loukas They're really like that. They literally think that it's a sinister plot to make you soft and then take away your freedoms. That it starts with you not having to leave your neighborhood and ends with you not being allowed to.
Says the people who haven't left their country.

Thread on disinfo, which mentions an article on the 15-minute city conspiracy theory
♲ masto.ai/@Nonilex/111202702806…
For instance, today NPR has a story about an #UrbanPlanning trend called #15minuteCities —designing cities so that you #access amenities in a short walk, bike ride or trip on public transport. Now there's a #ConspiracyTheory saying that this is a way to restrict people's movement or to trap people in an open-air prison. #ClimateDisinformation #ClimateSolutions #ClimateCrisis https://www.npr.org/2023/10/08/1204548952/the-15-minute-city-could-limit-global-warming-if-it-can-counter-misinformation
@clacke @ShadowJonathan @Loukas @Nonilex thanks, I hate it
(I'd ask "wtf is wrong with these people" but I know. gah.)
