The freedom to exercise aggression with impunity.
this is the big one, but what about the small ones? freedom to spit on the sidewalk? freedom to smoke in a restaurant? freedom to run a large diesel generator near a playground? freedom to teach my kids to be sociopaths?
reply
Pollution could be defined as a form of aggression. Smoking inside a restaurant and running a large diesel generator near a playground would fall under these.
Teaching your kids to be sociopaths is technically aggression too, because your kids aren't your property, even though you're responsible for them.
Freedom to spit on the sidewalk - your own sidewalk? sure. Someone else's? Kinda rude lol.
