I actually live in a 15-minute city. So far no WEF members have wrestled me to the ground and forced me to gargle bugs.
In fact it's just like a regular city except you trade the annoying cars hurtling through the town centre with slightly less annoying cyclists who at least don't give me lung cancer.
Yeah yeah I don't care for the environmental larp either and Klaus can go suck on a big fat commie turd for all I care. Doesn't change the fact that it's nice here and that I think living amongst cars is a colossal ballache.
Bug eating optional… phew.. Reduced meat consumption in favour of insect protein, pod living, 15-minute cities and ‘own nothing, be happy’ … these things do seem to get presented together in some quarters.

I can only recommend everyone here to study the Davos conference, the documents they publish and the homepage intensively if there is time. they reveal the entire concept of a thoroughly planned centralized society, whose power nucleus will of course be the wise green climate philosopher who destroys any individual romanticism with the Net Zero lever.

We cannot beat them, as some believe, by just ranting (plenty of ‘influencers’ do that already) we need to take steps to protect ourselves and engage our communities on the issues as they become apparent.
There are some who, in response to the ‘you’ll own nothing and be happy’ essay sent death threats to the author; Danish politician Ida Auken. Regardless of her politics, her personal views or visions of the future we must be better than merely screaming at these people. They will match threats of violence with increased control and further violence. We have to engage and confront their arguments IMHO.

that is absolutely correct. so far we are playing the cards of media work, which we should not underestimate, because the mood is created by the media. quite well. the protests are the beginning, if a spicy economic crisis is added, the whole thing can of course escalate, how it then goes on the devil knows

yes, but that is precisely the point: a population that has to ask permission from its elected representatives is in no way sovereign. we finance this society and a booming, prosperous society needs personal responsibility, which must find itself without a top-down command
