We often hear the terms freedom and liberty thrown around, but how many folks understand the meaning of these words? In a constitutional, direct, or representative democracy, the people allegedly have the freedom to speak their minds and vote without fear of reprisal. The government’s role is to protect individual freedoms under the rule of law.
This Isn’t Freedom
Purposely spreading disinformation isn’t freedom. It is blatant deception disguised as the truth and is meant to control the narrative. For example, imposing draconian government edicts during the pandemic was meant to protect the population, but scientific methods were ignored in favor of a hysterical narrative that constantly changed. Arbitrary mandates just might have contributed to more deaths than should have been the case if factual medicine and science had been adhered to. Moreover, several government officials didn’t follow the rules they created as they subverted liberty.
