It's amazing to me how that happened. It almost feels like it's part of some one-upmanship campaign for different propagandists.

One says "Ok, I'm going to take a boring, UN plan about sustainable development called 'Agenda 21' and make people think it's some evil conspiracy, despite the full text being available online."

The other says: "Nicely done, but you think that's good, I can make people hate the concept of pleasant, walkable cities!"

Yeah, I don't think it's about one upmanship, that would be almost forward thinking.

I just think it's the old boring people don't want to change.
