I'm American, and I concur that Freedom is the most important value for a society to uphold.
Thank you for your input, that just confirms what the studies showed. Freedom has many faces, not being left on the roadside because you can't outcompete in the gig-economy is also a form of freedom.
There's an excellent video on the youtube channel Second Thought that goes through a list of freedoms, I encourage you to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xqouhMCJBI
They expose the positive freedoms ("freedom to...") and negative freedoms ("freedom from...") – and also show how capitalism opposes all those freedoms, because they're based.
Examples :
LOL another Capitalism Bad post, how original.
Let me just say for the record, to all of the America haters who will hate my post, that my life in America is fuckin' awesome and I do whatever I want all the time. FreedoMurica! Yeehaw!
Glad you love your life dude, I love mine on the other side of the pond too.
Thanks
Thank you for providing evidence of how much our country sucks.
Well I'm sorry you're such a pessimist, because you could do better. Pessimism leads you down the path of dissatisfaction with every facet of life.
I've lived through poverty for many years and seen the bottom of the barrel that our country has to offer. I also persevered through that and built a great life for myself and my family, thanks to the freedom and opportunities that America offered me. I recognize that the standard of living we have as a baseline for the average American is something to cherish, in comparison to what a majority of the rest of the world experiences.
