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).
{...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.
They may look fancy from afar, but are lethal if you get in their way.
{...The degree of suffering conditions the degree of change...} BINGO !!!
That's why, imho, only widespread, long-lasting famine of a colossal level, including all kinds of side-effects further decimating the populace will bring about any kind of paradigm-change that could be the harbinger of a more peaceful future for the masses ...

True from the first to the last word...
But the wheel always ends up turning.
”The degree of suffering conditions the degree of change”...
Just beware of "turning wheels"...

in a extremely small percentage of survivors ...
Hope it won’t have to go so far, but this is most probable. Unless we all become a kind of remotely controlled zombies before... 🤖🤖🤖
So while we still are human(s) : never give up, etc ! ✊️
Please, don't read my comments after 21:00, they could cause nightmares ...

Maybe they are exactly what my contradictory spirit needs to give me an ”extra kick” to not take off the gloves ! 😉🫸🫷
