As (perhaps) obvious as this argument is, you will find a large part of US-based commenters claiming freedom-related limitations wilfully ignores skewed power relationships (or deny that they exist). Given that premise, what you see is not a view that will be shared by them.
- Jamwinner 7y agoWe mostly accept power imbalances as a trade-off for more personal choice, and (often erroniously) assume they are temporary and teansient. Its obviously, not always optimal. But the whole "Those who would trade their freedom for security deserve neither" thing runs deep. I can't say I totally disagree, although our implementation clearly needs some work.
- krageon 7y agoAs with all rules, the trouble pops up when it's taken to extreme.
