rule of law is only enforced via a monopoly on violence in a geographical area
and you can arbitrarily change it
if you lose to someone else it also changes
Freedom is not supposed to achieve anything on its own. It is supposed to allow people to decide what they achieve individually.
much like the social contract it doesn't exist
Society is a human adaptation for survival and it's why humans rule the world
freedoms ensured by the state are not freedoms at all but temporary privileges
Perhaps.
There are certain freedoms we just expected in certain cultures
that generally weren't taken
like english common law
I think you mean rights
until it was
Well, it depends on your definition of freedom
Freedoms and rights overlap
depends if you wanna go thick libertarianism or thin libertarianism definition of freedom or death cult buddhism freedom
It's talking about the same core liberal beliefs
thick libertarianism = healthcare is required to be an individual with agency
Anarchy is freedom from a state's coercion, but now you're vulnerable to coercion from all the predators the state coercion deterred/killed
thin libertarianism = nothing can be given but also don't take anything away if it doesn't violate NAP
buddhist death cult freedom = life is materialistic in of itself
thus freedom is materialistic
"freedom is a freedom"
woah
Obviously the buddhist slave morality is shit
What about freedom from rapists? To have this you need a mechanism for killing/deterring them
depends how you read it. I don't get slave morality from Buddhism
Lol
@snakeeater stop doing thick libertarianism
it's retarded
it just ends with socialism
The libertarian concept of freedom is property rights, I'm not a Libertarian btw
>everyone needs a gun provided by the state to defend themselves
You are only free from rapists because you live in a state that enforces that. That "rule" does not extend past it's enforement
yes
on a biological level
you will endure what you must
there is no freedom except what is purchased
Freedom from ______. So with no potential oppressors or assailants is freedom even real? Or can it only exist with the potential for harm?
purchased in the sense that you have a monopoly on force
