I've seen Facebook nutters screaming about 20mph limits in residential neighbourhoods.

Apparently this is a Chinese scheme called "20 minute neighbourhoods" to prevent anyone travelling outside their hometown. I'm not entirely sure of the fucking mental gymnastics required for those leaps of logic. I decided not to argue, because nobody wins pigeon chess, and also she was kind of hot.

The concept of 15 minute cities is just urban planning being used as the boogeyman.

And that basically is what we have in the Netherlands and it's awesome. Literally everyone raves about how nice it is when they see it but they hate evil government 15 minute cities

Joke's on you. I am 5G now and thanks to Bill Gates I can control The Windows with my mind.

I'm very happy I have very little real-life experience with any of the anti-vax idiocy, and that it wasn't really a big thing in my country. Seeing all of the conservative 'muricans loose their minds over it has been both hilarious and frightening.

Ukraine became the next big thing for the gov't and MSM.

It’s amazing to imagine an oppressive government wanting everyone to wear masks forever without a religious demand for modesty. Like you have surveillance that relies on facial recognition.
