"you keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means" me, replying to an American friend who just used the word freedom. As a European, to me freedom is much more about "freedom from" not "freedom to". I want freedom from persecution because of who I am. I want freedom from surveillance by the state, from corporate entities, and from individuals. I want freedom from harm caused by others.
This is a fundamentally different way of thinking.
