This is such an important point. If we don't define our terms and what we mean, then we can't effectively communicate. We may be using the same words, but meaning something entirely different. Think we're allied when we are not or think that we are at odds when we are not.
The "Liberty" word has to be narrowed in my opinion just like the "Freedom" word. Humans need specifics. Broad language is brought up with the intent of manipulation. Remember this is Baal world after all.
To me Liberty is the God (or nature) given right I have as individual to manage my own body, making decision I can only make. That includes, yes taking injections, having the right to choose life or NOT, or use certain substances...or NOT, or if (I am a woman) choose to give life or not.
As a society we still have trouble with these basic concepts and we get stuck in trivial philosophical and religious talk where it is very difficult to step on someone toes.
Case in point the abortion issue where both sides are right and wrong.
No woman should be questioned about this. However if you are going to question women about abortion you have to have inplace a system that prevents unwanted pregnancies also.
Curiously the highest numbers of abortions are in the age group 40+ (data from US, UK and Australia), that is something you do not hear from either sides. So again one more time the issues are used to create a division to get people to discuss, fight and divide.
Freedom is something else and perhaps more subjective and connected intrinsically to a culture. Free from the DOME literally........
I’ve always thought “freedom” is a scam Americans have been sold on. We simply have had it better than other countries. To keep my comment short, I think people really want happiness. New listener to your podcast. Absolutely love it.
Another great article that challenges me to view things from a new angle and I appreciate it.
