Reply to comment by ZOMBIESwithAIDS in ‘Vulkan files’ leak reveals Putin’s global and domestic cyberwarfare tactics by boomership

Every idiot I grew up with in rural Canada is convinced Putin is fighting against the deep state to stop the WEF, and Trudeau from forcing us all into 15 minute communities. The same people who think China managed to steal the election for Trudeau. But Russia wouldn’t possibly do anything to subvert our democracy.

No no, only China.

It's funny how almost overnight WEF just became a thing they all obsesses about and blame for all their problems.

Almost like all these channels they glue themselves to are connected and spread the same shit.

It's even funnier when you consider Putin regularly spoke at WEF and supported it.

Yeah, all their talking points are completely predictable, just watch the headlines from totally not biased news sources like the Counter Signal, and Canada Proud. Two weeks later those are the parroted talking points.

I don’t know what a 15 minute community is, but it sounds really nice. It takes me at least 15 min to go anywhere other than the grocery store.

I think that's what it means. You are withing a 15 min walk of everything you need, from groceries to a barber, to a park.

It’s pretty damn awesome. My neighborhood is a 15 minute community. I can easily walk to a couple of grocery stores, a library, three parks, a couple of haircut places, several bars and restaurants, and some general stores.

I can go weeks without needing to drive.

That was also originally the ideal of the American Mall. It was pioneered by some folks who thought Malls were an ideal utopia-like system.

Then capitalism turned them into dystopias instead. They were turned into tax havens for millionaires and billionaires to hide their money in.
