“It is my belief that True Liberty scares the hell out of alot of folks...”
That’s why they have their own pseudo-liberty.
The Four Freedoms (from FDR)
1. Freedom of speech and expression
2. Freedom of worship
3. Freedom from want
4. Freedom from fear
As Hayek remarks, “The demand for the new freedom was thus only another name for the old demand for an equal distribution of wealth.”
Well, sure. True liberty requires that one fend for oneself. It requires that one think for oneself. It requires that one let others think for themselves. Liberty requires that we get by on our own strengths and character, rather than calling "Big Brother" to lend us a hand (and at high interest). It requires that we accept that others are going to do things differently. It means that others might simply be different. It means that it is perfectly acceptable to disagree. Liberty means that we must take responsibility for our own actions. There is no "safety net" or "comfort zone" under true liberty. There is no homogenization. The whole concept terrifies the Tories.
