> I think it's a huge issue when someone brings up "freedom". What does that even mean? Someone smarter than me once wrote “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” If you can point out that someone in authority is wrong, without fear of death or persecution, then you have freedom and from that germ everything else can be reformed eventually. Dictators know this and it's why they don't let people laugh at them even when they clearly look stupid.
