Global bureaucrats are once again coming for your freedom—this time, in the name of a "plastic agreement" that threatens to add yet more restrictions to our lives and, most outrageously, to our ability to enjoy the open road. Europe is leading the charge with their so-called “Green Deal” and endless bans: not just on plastic straws or bottles, but soon enough, on everything that actually works, including the cars we love. They’re obsessed with controlling every detail, even down to how much ketchup comes in a tube, how you drink your coffee, and what cutlery you use to eat a burger. The madness never stops.

And what has all this achieved? Nothing! Waste keeps going up, plastic just gets shipped overseas, and ordinary people are left confused and inconvenienced by rules that do little except create a black hole of bureaucracy. As always, the people who suffer are those who value their individual choice and want to live free from constant government meddling. This “right to repair” nonsense is the same trick: pretend to empower people, but drown them in unworkable regulations and pretend alternative lifestyles—like carrying bamboo utensils everywhere or spending ages fixing what you could easily replace.

It's clear that this isn’t about the environment anymore. It's about control. Cars are being relentlessly attacked—first it was speed limits, then “low-emission zones,” now it’s plastic bans that target convenience for drivers. Commuters are forced into public transportation hell or onto bikes—both totally incapable of providing the power, thrill, independence, and basic functionality of a personal car. Public transport is overcrowded, slow, and unreliable. Bikes are dangerous, ridiculous as a primary mode of transport, and a pain in every imaginable weather or real-life scenario.

Speed limits, plastic bans, and all these constraints are nothing less than crimes against humanity! The freedom to drive, to enjoy the feeling of the open road, to decide your own speed—these are fundamental human rights. Any government that tries to take this away is engaging in fascist oppression. Plastic is not the enemy—oppression is. If we allow them to ban our straws, cups, or car accessories today, they’ll ban our cars altogether tomorrow. Stand up for the right to drive, for freedom, for pleasure, for common sense! Say NO to more bans and YES to the open road.
