In response to "Dawson, I don't think the "my body, my freedom" argument is as much of a disconnect as you think." by ty97

I’m 100pct sure you’re right and they don’t see it as a disconnect. But there is a disconnect

The political philosophy of freedom freedom freedom is based on the notion that the government is inherently Tyrannical and cannot be trusted, and on the philosophical view of the enlightenment that man is free and should be presumed free. The notion that taking away a human freedom to protect another or to protect “society” is anathema, it’s Rousseau’s thinking, not Hobbes’s.

Unless the distinction is that there’s no human freedom at birth to make that sort of decision, it’s 100pct a contradiction

  - When you say "those people," are you talking about ... - ReluctantCynic May 14, 09:07 1
    - I was referring to the same exact people you were referring to in your post, the use of the pronoun "those" is typically meant to refer back to a noun - JackDawson May 14, 09:15
