Terrific article! I think it's really important to name what we're against. The problem isn't 15-minute cities. The problem is the surveillance and government overreach. (Also, having sold my car in 2015, I appreciate livable cities. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater).

Many thanks for reposting Lawyer' Lisa's post.

{...collective effort, strategic planning, and the courage to stand against a system designed to suppress individual autonomy...} 🤔🤔🤔

- Collective effort: Everywhere, by any means, people are very successfully being slated against

each other to prevent this from happening, ever.

- Strategic planning: The current individuals strategic planning is restricted into getting to work

on-time, spend his/her hrs. with slave-work to make ends meet. No time for any strategy but to

think about where to get the next pack of cigarettes, petrol for the car, some junk-food, online shopping of newest gadgets and a little sex ... This is their current individual autonomy.

Only complete DE-centralization, that means: break-down of hierarchical mass-societies of totally interdependent people can prevent people from getting trapped into these open-air, Gaza-like prisons.

This is not for the feeble: It needs real courage, determination, resilience, patience, self-reliance, full autonomy and accountability for ones actions. All things abhorred in current mass-societies.
