Turns out, “free” has always meant “free for people-like-me to exploit people-not-like-me in whatever way we feel like.” It’s never meant human rights.
That’s just about the perfect wording for one of my still-hazy thoughts about freedom or liberty when it comes to politics: there’s two ways it’s understood and therefore implemented throughout a system. One is the freedom to exploit. The other is freedom from exploitation.
I see people basically demanding “freedom” from the consequences of their actions. No matter the cost to society. Free to steal, and not be punished. Free to silence others, without being stopped. Free to behave badly, & not be socially shunned. That’s not what freedom means.
It shouldn’t, I agree! And it seems very fitting in this context, the way you put it. (I’d been thinking about what was so fundamentally different about the US and the Nordics, in particular, and had landed on the concept of freedom as more enabling vs. more protective.)
