There's a conspiracy theory that what 15 minute cities secretly means is that you'll be confined in a sector of the city and unable to leave without a permit or something.

Why anyone would think that, no idea!

Authoritarians are poor at distinguising "is allowed to" from "is forced to." This is also why they hate gay people-- they think that if someone else is allowed to be gay, that'll mean that everyone will be compelled to.

The reality is that they fear freedom. They like the taste of boot.

And why would a bunch of never-left-their-staters even care in the first place? They clearly don't want freedom of movement
