One of the things that pushed me into leftism about seven years ago was the realization that there even WAS something to the left of me.
Yeah the same is true for me being anti-car. When I first heard of European congestion taxes when I was car-brained I was like "that is literally insane, how are you going to restrict poor people's right to get into the city". But after learning about other forms of transit and the fact that it's affordable and cheap and objectively better than private vehicles, I realized that just realizing that other transit options exist makes me move further 'left' lol.
