> So people like to speak about freedom but are afraid of actually living in freedom?

Many/most of the folks I know who speak out loudest about “freedom” are also the most willing to restrict it… for others.

What’s the saying… freedom for me but not for thee?

Before I come across as overly cynical, let me just add that most Americans I’m around have a very laissez faire attitude about most things. They are just very quiet about it, living their lives peacefully.

I’m a believer in the very moderate silent majority in the US. It’s just hard to notice that it exists when pretty much all mainstream media and social media are designed to favor the promotion of extremist stances.
