It has been said that the personal car helped destroy the Soviet Union. The personal freedom a car grants is truly under appreciated.
One of the reasons, probably the biggest, why 'carbon' is such a big issue is as an attempt to curtail that freedom. In Soviet era buildings none of the window below the tenth floor will open. The pollution was that bad. The commies don't care about the environment, they just want to put you in a box and lock you in.
I haven't done the research to say I know this is correct but it would not surprise me in the least.
I heard it from a YouTuber who goes by Vee. He lives in Romania and was speaking from personal experience.
Heard about him from Sargon. He's on bitChute now.
