Life is not lived thru a screen.

There is nothing inherently evil about 15-minute neighborhoods and cities. It only makes sense to reduce the time it takes to get from one place to another.

This is best achieved by making smart, positive changes that follow a long-term vision. These may include relocating customer-support offices to the city centre, building underground tunnels for garbage trucks & other service vehicles, and generally eliminating the need (not the right) to use a car.

Government-planning, meanwhile, kills people with its arrogance. We must not allow our cities to become district-apartheid mass-surveillance lockdown prisons that coerce us to follow overlords’ demands. Mandatory kill-switches & speed-limits must be abolished, and surveillance satellites removed from orbit.

The World Health Organisation has overdosed the world with misinformation, inevitably leading to many no longer taking its warnings seriously. Any actual urgent threat to public health will now be harder to deal with.

The WHO snakes’ proposed “solution” to this issue is a long-desired world government supranational treaty that gives them extraordinary powers during “periods of pandemic preparation”.

We must not let them pass it: no entity should ever be able to introduce vaccine passes, censor, and install a one-size-fits-all sick-care model.

The evil masterminds know that the world needs victims, and thus take advantage of public outrage to introduce “solutions” that would otherwise have never been accepted.

This is often done thru false dichotomies, such as the nonsensical left-right & liberal-conservative divisions, and, more recently, the Ukraine-wins-or-Europe-conquered blatherskite. But our world is one of gradients and differences in degree.

It’s time to pop filter bubbles and hold everyone accountable.
