Do you want freedom?

in #life5 years ago

If you want freedom, you must want freedom for everyone. If you want freedom only for yourself, then you want oppression.

A free society differs from a society of oppression in that in a society of oppression there will always be some larger male who will surely oppress you.

If you, a successful white man, want to live in a good state, but do not want it to be as good for women and visitors, then you do not want to live in a good state.
You want to live in a state where the mayor’s son knocks down pedestrians on his SUV, where officials steal billions and spend them on yachts rather than on social programs.

Because the philosophy "I was born better than others" corrodes society at all stages.

Picture with deep meaning. Again.

If you are not ready to give up your privileges for the sake of freedom, then why should the authorities refuse them?
If you think that a woman is obliged to look good for you and not sleep with anyone before marriage, then why shouldn’t a politician think that you are obliged to work for a penny until your death?
If you think that visitors should be silent and not interfere, then why should politicians abolish censorship for us, ordinary people?

If you think that you are better than others, it is logical to assume that somewhere there are people better than you. So you have to be worse than them. Be patient.

And if you think that all people are equal, then you seem ready to live in a good society. It remains only to achieve equality. For all.

And if you think that all people are equal

No one is equal to anyone else.
Everybody is different, ergo not equal.

It's a conceptual fallacy.

You are different than me, we are not equal.

Postmodernist logic, does not logic, make.

@extractum-lunae, Hi, I think this is a bit confusing, if I find out what makes me free I can be without affecting others even without believing that I am better than others. It is very different, I can help everyone discover their freedom by creating their own reality and empower them to do the same with others.
