      Is this a joke or is it more r/neoliberal leakage?

            random word associations with a theme lol. There’s a lot of cross ties between breastmilk and gaming/freedom/raging fascists etc. If I had a nickel…well it would be just a few of them but still weird that it happens.

    Here in the USA, freedom is measured in Freedom Units, colloquially called “dollars.”

    Taking a huge, absolutely gut-tension relieving dump, the kind that angels sing and your ears pop afterwards, in a handicap accesible toilet somewhere you either work, or go to classes, that was just recently cleaned and unused by anyone.

    Absolute freedom would be the ability to do whatever one wants to do whenever one wants to do it. However, the laws of physics and biology get in the way pretty quickly. So that leaves us with absolute freedom within the laws of the universe. However, it’s only possible to have this absolute freedom so long as there is only 1 person in existence. As soon as you add a second person, both must agree to forgo the freedom to harm the other, or soon enough there will only be 1 or 0 people left.

    In a society, the closest we can get to freedom is allowing people to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t effect anyone else. Once it effects others, they should get a say in it, otherwise the person doing the stuff has more freedom than the people being effected by it. This is where we actually are.
