“The Ties That Bind”:

I have been reading the glowing reports of how wonderful these little enclaves are, what a virtual boon to mankind!

Conveniently left out is the eventual, engineered geofencing, the limits imposed on ‘leaving’ — (these fines deducted electronically from their complete control of your accounts, for your safety and convenience)….

Even on foot!

So much for the lie of fucking “carbon credits”.

And the massively intrusive assumption that all people actually desire to “mingle and mix” and “exchange ideas ‘creatively’” — blah-blah-blah-blow-me-blah bullshit that does NOT appeal to anyone, except somebody stuck in an endless trailer loop for a Hallmark special.

Goddammit!

I am SO ready to unhinge at the sheer hubris of this charade….and the people here who will grab their ankles for the illusion of “community”. Dear God.
