      This is right up there with the “eat bug live in pod” meme.

      These kind of memes are extremely disgusting because it brings to light a very apparent and real issue (the collapse of material conditions largely caused by ecological decline brought on by capitalism) but then shifts the scope of blame from the actual perpetrators (the ghouls in power) to marginalized groups.

      it’s different sectors of capitalists pitching fits at one another is how I’ve interpreted it

      Some types of financial ghouls want to make money from real estate or something, so some of them have proposed better urban planning, then some other sector of capitalist ghouls (probably oil or cars or manufacturing or something) have a propaganda war against them

      it’s all capitalists fighting each other and we’re stuck in it

        As far as my observation goes, citizens are a big part of the push for 15 min cities because it would increase their quality of life tenfold. Of course there’s always ghouls lurking to make profit, who’ll jump on everything they deem profitable, but they aren’t the biggest proponents of 15 min cities.
