The truth is you can never be free, just as you can never be equal. A man who is self-employed merely makes the market his master. A man who has no leader makes NATURE his master, and Gnon is a harsh and inhuman master, worse than any manhttps://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1038056707979530240 …

As they say, necessity, which is the bondage of man to nature, is the mother of invention. Creativity is defined by constraint. A world with no constraints is a world with no creativity, a world where the soul, having never been earthbound, is never able to soar

An excess of freedom, most of all, a freedom from consequences, turns you into useless mush. If you were too free, if you could never be bound, then no one could trust you. Freedom isn't the grease for the wheels of the market, it's the heat which must be dissipated

It is hardly necessary to point out how many people, being granted a high degree of freedom, only use it for moral licentiousness, or who, upon being emancipated, would literally die if the state were not there to care for them. In what sense are such people “free”?

Of course if we did “liberate” everyone to the vicissitudes of the market, there would be what the darkly enlightened might call a grand correction. Know that if you are on the side of liberty, you implicitly support the death of billions

There are many misconceptions on the right about freedom, another is that freedom stands in opposition to equality. It’s true in a limited sense, but freedom-as-goal is a back door for other, more insidious values

If we treat freedom as a goal, then we quickly become saddled with a goal of freedom "for all", which is to say, equality in freedom. If your morals are properly calibrated you will react to this with a tinge of nausea. The left beats the right time and again with this formula

Libertarians are at present being overrun by the social justice left because their frame of “rugged independence” is fundamentally and irrecoverably vulnerable to the frame of “universal emancipation” via accusations of moral callousness. Libertarians can never recover from this

The only way out, in this case, is to reject the value of liberty out of hand

Liberty is is a bad goal because it is incapable of existing in the abstract. The moment freedom itself becomes free, it becomes suborned to some other purpose, and that purpose, left unspecified, is chaos.
