it would be nice if i could walk places actually
THAT'S FASCISM!!1!Those with no chip must use right lane
This is literally just a toll road and we've had them in Texas for decades.
The anti 15 minute city thing is really so incredibly stupid. Anyone who's ever lived in a walkable city knows that it is vastly superior to anything based around cars.
15-minute city, 30-minute city, 57¼-minute city....
These are average commute times. Why do you oppose short average commute times?
That's what I'd say to these people if I ever encountered them. I'm not about to head over to their websites to talk to them.
The people who say this stuff don't know anything about it. They live in a world of "scary things" that Fox news tells them about. They learn nothing about 15 minute cities, only that they are "bad" and will "destroy America" so they hate them.
Which is why you get stuff like the picture above, where it shows the exact opposite of a 15 minute city and just says that's what it is.
Yeah I think they think you're not allowed to leave a 15 minute radius from your home or something wild like that. What the hell
It's hard to tell what they actually think on it, because it always changes. If they had a concrete position, that could be combated and they could be reached and educated. If their position changes constantly, they can be kept in a perpetual state of fearful, hateful ignorance.

oh, so that's why conservatives are like that
It’s hard to tell what they actually think on it...
They're conservatives. They don't think.
I have no idea why I assumed their propaganda-version of the 15 minute city still included the "walkable" part. This is even dumber and funnier.
The most unrealistic part of this is that most people are driving reasonably-sized vehicles
Maybe that's the real dystopia they were trying to show: a world where you can't drive Ford F-150s
It’s kind of funny that actual US border crossing have way more cameras.

It is even a bit more perfidious than that, the gate chosen is that of Auschwitz, it is actually holocaust denial and or negation of the Nazi crimes to overstretch political points. The 15 minute city is not aimed at eliminating Jews, LGBTQ*, Neurodivergent, Socialists, Roma and Sinti etc.
This conspiracy theory picture does combine elements of car brain sentiment with anti change and anti minority and classist elements to redraw lines of who are victims and what the problems are. It is evil, which connects with the "all seeing eye" to former antisemite theories, too, as well as NWO conspiracies.
The artist of the original picture is David Dees, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who believes

Karl Marx created communism as part of a Jewish plot to depopulate the earth of white people.
Any holocaust denial is by design.
Thanks for adding that. Once you are aware enough you seem to spot antisemitism everywhere, but then often it turns out it is everywhere.
It helps that he was more explicit in his antisemitism in other pictures.

Of course you don't have to like the guy, but like Trump, I somehow... wish I could get MORE from their best material, you know.
For example his "vaccine checkpoint" art was just
If you really want to look at it, there's an archive of all his work here.
It should go without saying that you'll encounter every form of bigotry yet conceived if you follow that link. Don't say you haven't been warned.
Ask a right-winger to describe a communist dystopia and he will describe a capitalist utopia
I mean the special car lane for wealthy elites is already a thing in modern capitalist Russia
I mean toll roads are basically the same shit. Costs north of $30 in some places to take to fast route.
Those turbocrank dystopia artworks always look cool as hell ngl
Why would 15 minute cities have everyone on 100 mile stretches of highway in the middle of nowhere?
Where is the city? Are these people driving at 400 miles an hour to get there in 15 minutes?
It wouldn't surprise me if conservatives think "15 minute city" means places you can drive to in 15 minutes.
You're really underestimating carbrains hold on the USians imaginations
"Hey conservatives, I'm going to walk to the grocery store and walk to my job"

Oh they're terrified of climate change. After all, they might be slightly inconvenienced by going green, truly the worst fate imaginable to a conservative.
So toll lanes, cameras, cell towers, and cars with licence plates (that can be looked up in a public database for personal data) are what 15 minute cities are? No you ignorant fucks, that's what we have now! And yet you'll call it freedom... More like kiss my ass and keep dreaming bucko, your reality of cities with tracking and surveillance already exist and you have the AUDACITY to call it freedom. Fuck off mate.
"Ask a capitalist why they hate socialism and they'll describe capitalism"
Usually you don't have walking access to a freeway anyway so the razorwire seems like a hat on a hat
