Yet another example of narcissists attempting to tell you how you will have to live to be “sustainable”.

💥Newsflash to the perps💥…we won’t get fooled again. Take a hike.

Keep your powder dry, people of America.

True, but I think a major design goal is to prevent any possibility of a community spirit developing among the inmates. You will only interact with the few people nearest to you, and the arid design of the anti-city will stifle any breath of freedom.

You are spot on. In an almost oxymoronic (and frankly axiomatic) sense, we gain our independence because of our community. Don’t let the perpetrators steal your community’s identity!!

When I was a kid in the 1950's. people's (older) houses all had front porches, and neighbors would take walks around the neighborhood, dropping by to share conversation with the folks sitting on their porches. I clearly remember fewer and fewer families using their front porches this way & less community strolls as TV became more prominent and addictive (and air-conditioners made indoors more tolerable in summer heat). A real loss...

Many jokes come to my mind. I will leave out the darkest ones (I'm in dark comedy mode today)

1 How do you call two citizens of The Line city who steal panties from ladies? Pantyliners.

2 Two Liners, named Ali and Ali, meet on the street, and Ali realizes he is lost, and asks Ali for directions. Ali responds to Ali, "to go back to your apartment, just walk this street, then turn straight, don't turn right or left, because there is no where to go and this city was built by autists for autists out of the concentrated despair of neuroconvergent heretics instead of concrete; Then continue straight until you find Ali, and ask him for more directions. Everyone is called Ali here. So straightforward. You can't miss your apartment."

3 A Liner girl, named Sheherazade, asks her teacher, Mrs. Sheherazade to tell a different story than yesterday. The teacher, angry, explains: "We've been through this before: in Line city every story is the same story, and all the characters are named Ali, that way is easy to remember and we don't waste energy in useless things. I lament that you are being obstructive and conflictive. If you keep this up you will be thrown into the hexagonal room, as punishment. You've been warned."

4 What is the diet of the citizens of The Line? Spaghetti, straight from the box, uncooked.

5 What does a pilot think when he approaches the airport at The Line, to land? "I cannot miss this one! If I fail everyone will laugh at me! I cannot stand this pressure! AAAARRRGGHHH!"

6 Why gay men are not allowed to enter into The Line? Because they are not straight.

7 Why are there no coins in The Line? Because the autists would start screaming because they don't understand discs.

8 What does a psychotherapist in The Line tell always to her clients: "I will give you a straight answer: you are not crazy, you just have a horrible personality and no imagination at all."

9 Scientists are not allowed to show charts with curves. All charts are unidimensional, bar shaped and contain the same information.

10 What's the numeration system of The Line? A unary system, composed of one (1) line, that is longer or shorter depending on the magnitude of the quantity. They cannot represent zero, so instead a man named Ali will blind the people who ask for zero using sand.

11 Don't ask any question if you go to The Line. and, most of all, don't mention that their way of thinking is circular. They behead people for that insult.

I have known about those so called Smart Cities for while. I posted a very sardonic post .. may even on my Blog.. about Chinese Smart cities and I had photo of Emerald City.. on it.. I have deeply cynical and sardonic side to me.. as you can imagine... but yes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjF6oYpwUnM I think is one on China. I couldn't imagine a bigger HELLSCAPE.. except HELL ITSELF. Yes that is part of the goal HERD ALL HUMANS INTO ON URBAN HIGH RISE .. like China so when they lock down they can LOCK THE BUILDING DOWN: One of the reasons for the SUICIDE nets.. around the high rises.. not just the slave labor of the Chinese people, As a Christian: I have NO FEAR of MAN's PLANS FOR HUMANITY.

I read about this years ago after seeing "sophia' get citizenship in SA. The women were angry as you can imagine...this 'woman' , addressing mulitbillionaires and then remember how they were all held hostage at the hotel? I bet youve forgotten...! Crown Prince made them 'p[ay..' but how much??? AI controlls all of it... , so thats whats going on under our noses in our faces. It is all about AI Beast system CON TROLL~ 'she' tells you "humans are programable creatures' blah bla...just like Harrari, WEF demonshill.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMrX08PxUNY

the end of humanity, and "the Line" is for slaves. Just say "HELL NO" but there are more steps to lead us into their Demon system....Ready to Say YES to Jesus, NO to anything else they want to make us into 'their own image' .

I met a Sri Lankan man when visiting that country who had worked in Saudi Arabia to send back money for his family, and he was very damning in his description of the situation there, explaining how lazy and self-important the oil-rich Saudis are, treating the foreign workers like sh!t, blaming every problem on them in spite of the fault being the boss' stupidity--and I have read a number of news articles detailing court cases where foreign women hired as maids were abused, even tortured by their employers. So of course they would fear the foreign workers, just like slave owners feared rebellion by their slaves back in the day. Saudi Arabia is not really our friend, I'm afraid, and the West's addiction to cheap oil has created an ultra-wealthy abomination. NEOM is a true sci-fi level dystopia designed somewhat reminiscent of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon but even more degradingly inhumane, and, as the article points out, at least as bad for the environment as it will prove to be for the human spirit.

This is something about which I was completely unaware. I have watched the reception the Saudi's gave to President Trump, and was in awe. However, I am reminded of a prediction by one man years ago that MBS would, in his opinion, become the anti-"christ". Something to keep in mind.

But this Neom project is insanity. No American or any independently minded person would want anything to do with it, and certainly would not choose to be enslaved in that environment.

Be wary of any city that is pushing “Sustainable Development Goals” which is just another watered down name for smart cities or prison cities. Remember the WEF’s ludicrous commercial with the smiling guy “you will own nothing & you will be happy?” As you eat crickets, live in a tiny apartment, walk to work since you don’t own a car. People need to wake up.

It makes me think of this: "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech."

The Babel effect, if you will, is happening all around us. We have multiplicity of words with no meaning, and copy-paste phrases that no one understands that only fill space. Of course we don't understand each other. Of course that creates tension, chaos, hostility... But we have those towers, i mean rockets, whose tops reach heaven. For now.
