    Freedom is a state in which a person’s input into their life has significant effects on the outcomes. Freedom is a state in which taking responsibility is a possibility.

      Thats not freedom? That concept in practice would be. I can work, if I do then I’ll have money. However, if I dont work, I die from lack of money. The way I’d see freedom is, u can work or not and eitherway u dont die. Yk your free to choose what you want or in this case free to make the inputs desire

    Taking a huge, absolutely gut-tension relieving dump, the kind that angels sing and your ears pop afterwards, in a handicap accesible toilet somewhere you either work, or go to classes, that was just recently cleaned and unused by anyone.

      The company I work for installed a gender-neutral bathroom, but in a weird location, down a long hall no one really has any reason to go down other than to get to this bathroom. There were initially grumblings from certain men on the shop floor about “wokeness”. Then they discovered that the privacy offered by this gender-neutral bathroom was available to them too. Now it is the go-to spot for dudes to take the foulest of dumps discreetly.

      Everyone deserves a quiet bathroom and a shit so thorough it drains all tension from one’s body. I’m sure this is what MLK really had in mind when he talked about his dream.

        This is why absolute freedom can never exist as long as there are at least 2 people in existence… Either they must both give up their freedom to harm the other, or soon there will only be 1 person left, maybe 0.

        Its a joke from a new game. Look into Helldivers 2 and the satire of it related to how totalitarian governments use phrases like “managed democracy” and “freedom” to braniwash their populace into doing whatever they want. Great game too

    Having a strong central government, answerable to an educated populace. All necessary services are nationalized. Corporations are not people

        I’m having trouble formulating this coherently because I’m tired and have adhd but here goes. I think that by curtailing the absolute freedom of an individual you can give more actual freedom to more people. Essentially that the government isn’t the only place you should fear tyranny from. A strong government can prevent small tyrants from running roughshod over others. Eg don’t let someone/corps dump waste, this denies people clean water, natural beauty, etc. Robust social programs funded by aggressive taxation mean more people have the freedoms that health brings, freedom of movement via extensive public transport. It also should allow us to tackle big problems that need a lot of coordination, such as climate change
