"That all men are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights(including life liberty and the pursuit of happiness)and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed"
These arent just pieces of paper,theyre an idea that this country was founded in pursuit of freedom
Beyond freedom, that’s what the every man doesn’t get. Anything that helps the masses ultimately helps us all. We’ve been conditioned to believe the uber wealthy are good for us, they create jobs, keep the economy going, etc. It’s all bullshit, if it doesn’t help the common man it’s self serving
Unfortunately our society is mainly composed of spoiled brats, people who have been raised, thinking that everything revolves around them (me first!) inculcated as being superior or privileged!
Along with our right to personal freedom comes our responsibility to the greater good for everyone. My example to people is this: my right to life, to live, is greater than your right to not get vaccinated.
Freedom isn't the absence of oppression. It’s the ability to think, act, & live autonomously, free from coercion or systemic barriers, while respecting others' rights. It's seized, defended, & rarely regained if lost. A free society is defined by how little control the state exerts over individuals
So true! The idea that people will take care of my when I hit on hard times gives me an immense feeling of freedom. Taking care of others that are not as fortunate as me, gives me a very good feeling as well.
Society requires trust. Not blind. Recourse against deception and abuse of knowledge versus reliance on that transparent expectation. We rely on doctors, tradesmen, merchants, repairmen, on and on, to deal with each individual with honesty and integrity.
Rules, regulations, and advocates mitigate.
I'm bragging-because the women who helped (mostly) raise me...well, raised me right. My aunt & grandmother instilled in me a true feeling of being happiest when I was able to share; to first look upon others with respect and kindness; honesty as a rule. All these require the well being of all.#Lucky
🤔 I guess, that if we are looking for freedom in human society, there can be no freedom...
📌 Society mean common existence, not free from others.
📌 Feeling free is different than freedom, but that feeling we must name as close as possible to freedom. ☝️But not as a freedom.
🙂 Freedom is for wildlife.

Perfect freedom is theoretically impossible
1. You are always a slave of your physical needs of rest, energy, nutrition etc.
2. When you're dead, you're unable to do anything, so you are maximally restricted.
3. When the society adopts perfect freedom, criminals take control.
Does it boil down to some ppl just not having a capacity for empathy? And could that be the case for such a large amt of ppl? I have to wonder since it seems like so many Americans refuse to let themselves care about some things until it directly affects them. seems like a lack of empathy, right?
No, it isn't. It is a less lethal enforcement of interests. Preventing the marginalized people to become completely radicalized. It is not because the US is so good it likes to help people. It is to avoid more real 9/11-s.
More of an issue in the US, the impression of which is of a country full of pubescent moody brats who believe they have the right to do and grab exactly what they want whenever they want. Other countries seem to have more mature inhabitants. I blame Reagan and his greed is good bullshit.
This is excellent.
Right on. We rise together.
Loners are more like Don-boy and don’t care one bit for the welfare of others . We know that doesn’t work. Compassion, empathy, understanding and, yes, even love are what we need. ❤️
Our well being It is not connected to the well being of republicans.

Merika is, was, and always shall be a country of free men - women are chattels - who can carve a 4000 sq ft home out of a single redwood, strike oil in their yard using but a pick axe, & drive $100K pickups to Cabels to pick out their camo wardrobe of the season.

Actually your "freedom" is just a fun little pretending game we play with the 1%er's, as they've proven time and time again, our so called "rights" and "freedoms" can be removed any time it's inconvenient for them.
This same interconnection is also held true for capitalism to fuel the economy for continuous growth of corporations and businesses. D.E.I is the driving force for a healthy economy. Smart companies knows this and will support it and see growth. Those who don't support it will GoOutOfBusiness.Resist
DONATE as much as you can to a group of special elections. This is something that can have real impact if we flip or hold D seats. #specialelections #flipcongress #virginia #endfascism https://secure.actblue.com/donate/specials25-26
It seems freedoms are measurable and we are failing. We are land of the fee not the land of the free. To even name 57 countries would be stretch for me. We aren’t as free as they tell you and you are freer today than you ever will be again
I'm surprised USA is ranked so high. It's still got capital punishment, is imprisoning passive protestors with trial, and is bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase 'wage slave'.
Being ultra rich deprives people of being part of a true community, where members struggle and celebrate together. The isolation causes loss of empathy for others.
That's why we shouldn't totally shun maga & billionaires but we must convince them to be better neighbors & friends to all in the family of humans that they a part of. The hate they commit can easily come back and bite them.

Neanderthals knew this. Early Homo Sapiens knew this. Caring for one another is ingrained in our DNA, it took evil, greedy men to overcome this innate quality.
Yes! Freedom is the plague of autocracy. May democracy flourish & be more contagious than RFK or the psychotic orange traitor ever thought possible!
Refuse fascism!
Revolution is now!

Freedom when applied only on a completely individual level is called barbarism. To have a freedom everyone can enjoy, you need protections from this absolute individualistic freedom.
"How can any Republican stand by Trump as he viciously attacks a sitting judge just because the ruling didn’t go his way? Respect for the rule of law shouldn’t depend on personal outcomes."
Thomas Paine clearly explained this in the First 7 paragraphs of "Common Sense"
Why are so many Americans so incurious about this monumental text? Poor civics education, limited history instruction - or because the right would scream 'indoctrination' if taught?
100% accurate
We live in a society - the success of a society depends on ALL of its citizens continuing to function as a somewhat cohesive unit and working together to protect the most vulnerable.
This is a key point the magats don’t grasp. Right now it’s removing due process from peeps we don’t like or arresting folks expressing their first amendment rights on matters we disagree with. But eventually it will not be those we disagree with or don’t like. Violations like this come for us all
HEY! I don’t know about you, but I had plans 🗒️🖋️, projects I was going to work on this new year. Saving democracy 🇺🇸 was not on my agenda! But here we are. So, let’s get to it. You in?
Indeed. If you want purely individualistic freedom with no consideration of others, you're pretty much relegating yourself to living like the hunter-gatherer Neanderthals, or Ted Kaczynski.
Unfortunately America was built on the premise of rugged individualism and for this reason is doomed. You can’t have a society hellbent on destroying the collective.
"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule." J. R. R. Tolkien
This is why all those that didn't vote, let everyone down. Those that insist on being anarchists, and believe in burning the place down, let us all down. When my SS gets cut/lost and I become a homeless Vet., you let me/us down. When you work within the system to improve candidates, you help us all.
our leaders also let us down by being spineless. By failing to stand up to tyranny, speak out against genodice, or fight gross injustices, they have confirmed the woes of those who did not vote and pushed them away from inspiration and motivation to vote. You have to prove the anarchists wrong.
Partly wrong. Politicians do need to be pushed to work harder for all people, weed out corruption, etc. Lazy voters and people that look for excuses not to vote, are part of the problem. You're giving them license, and are a problem. Anarchists are as bad as MAGA. Don't bother me again.

It's good that people are finally discovering this now lol
In spiritual terms like i.e. 'love your enemies' IMO this is one of the hardest to manifest.......
YOUR individual freedom suffers when YOU do not actively participate in YOUR democracy to protect YOUR freedom!
It is yet to be seen if this republic can survive the GOP CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE assault on democracy!
I tool that as his usual public confession.

USA imprisons more if it's people than any other country excluding North Korea. They are then used for slave labor.
Because the evidence against it is so overwhelming that the myth would have been eaten alive generations ago.

My vote is for continuing the original charter of the USA which is our constitution, and which ensures our rights as citizens.
All means All. All is non-binary.
If US taxes fund ICE committing wrongs I have issues.

US society.
Communitarianism is far more valued, to varying degrees, elsewhere throughout the world.
The US has long been at the extreme of the individualism/communitarianism spectrum, and what is happening there now is the direct consequence of that.
It isn't until we realize its value by losing it that we feel compelled to act. That is a coward's remorse.
The veterans can tell you exactly what happens next to regain it.
Remove corrupt politicians from office.
Reverse the damage.
Reclaim US democracy.
