    No no, the conspiracy is that by living in walkable cities, you’re easier to track, because nobody in city has phones and there’s no cameras anywhere in cities, and of course everybody in cities pays for things in cash…

    Incidentally, the people I know who’ve fallen for this canard also live in the countryside, make it a point to never go to the city, and also have phones and debit/credit cards and spend time online…

      Abigail Thorns video on the subject briefly yet beautifully dunked on the idea that taking away cars is taking away “freedom”, since you need a government issued photo ID to operate them, registration and strict rules to use them on the roads, and new cars are full of computers monitoring you and sendingndata to insurance companies. To quote directly, “you know what doesn’t do any of that? Fucking feet!”
