Laser on Nostr: Freedom by itself is not an inherent good. Freedom from what? Freedom from tyranny? ...
Freedom by itself is not an inherent good. Freedom from what? Freedom from tyranny? Freedom from a Christian moral standard? Freedom from any social standard at all? Freedom from God? Freedom from sin and evil? Freedom from globalism? Freedom from nationalism? Freedom from theft? Freedom from an unlimited State?
Freedom requires specificity.
The early American settlers, the Puritans, wanted freedom from the tyranny of the Crown: especially the Catholic church, whom they believed had become an Antichrist institution.
The political elite that later founded the country from it's early colonies and states also wanted freedom from the tyranny of the Crown; especially to be liberated from the monetary theft being imposed on them from across the ocean by the British Empire's system of currency and debt.
Freedom by itself is baseless. To be justified, freedom must be from some evil, enabling one to be fully belonging to some higher good.
