Seriously, I'm so sick of people throwing around the word "freedom", I am ready to scream. WTF does this word mean anyway (rhetorical question)? It is a complete buzzword that right-wing (and some supposedly "left" wing) hacks use, that is subjective in its context and meaning, and has little place in any serious, objective political discourse. Fuck that word. One man's "freedom" is another man's "tyranny" (another subjective buzzword). Yea, we have the "freedom" to defend ourselves (to an extent, and as long as you are the right race and class), as most western countries do. "Freedom" in America is a code word for white privilege and capitalist supremacy, the right to discriminate those who are minority, female, homosexual, or atheist, as well as the right to subjugate the labor of those who do not own capital (often correlated to the aforementioned identities).
