    I didn’t invent that take if you think it’s strange. Ironically these interpretations of liberty originally came from European philosophers, originally Rousseau I think, so take it up with them. 🤷🏻

    I don’t think they were thinking about in terms of freedom from hate but more like creating social structures in place to enforce people’s freedom in the face of something like hate vs eliminating any social structures that would not allow someone to hate whichever thing and whoever they want to.
