Being free does not necessarily mean having the means to exercise this freedom. E.g, I'm free to drive a luxurious car if I want to but if I don't own or rent

Being free does not necessarily mean having the means to exercise this freedom.
E.g, I'm free to drive a luxurious car if I want to but if I don't own or rent one, I can't.
You may be free, but it does not mean your beer is.
- ThomPete 12y agoYou also forgot "if you _can't_ afford a luxurious car" you can't. In other words we are not free by any definition of the word, so lets stop pretending we are.
- grondilu 12y agoYou're confusing being free with being able. Freedom is a deep concept, but I'm pretty sure not being able to do something does not mean you're not free to do it.
- ThomPete 12y agoOn the contrary I am simply critiquing the use of free since it disguises reality.
