    Freedom of what? Freedom from public healthcare? Freedom to harass minorities? Freedom to exploit the working class?

    That reminds me of how the 90-s in Russia were once described on r/AskARussian. Freedom to kill, steal, think of what you’re gonna feed your kids tomorrow and freedom to attack border towns for certain FREEDOM fighters terrorists.

    It is a frustratingly persistent illusion. Thanks, philosophical idealism. People are too caught up in thinking how they might have whatever if they just try hard enough to notice that the game is rigged and that the game presupposes someone is gonna get robbed. And that someone is most people.
