It's not freedom, it's selfishness
Freedom is an inherent condition of the human being. For it, or, rather, for the longing for it, great philosophical treatises have been written, revolts started, and wars declared. The ability to act in one way or another according to one's own determination goes beyond being a right (acquired over time), but is an intrinsic need of our species. This freedom, so longed for in the past and whose search was the pure essence of our existence, in recent times has become a prostituted and distorted concept. It has served, and serves, as a childish excuse to motivate decisions of all kinds without greater endorsement than invoking freedom as the end that justifies any means. And beyond the philosophical debate that could be generated under these premises, the main problem is that this “freedom” that is constantly referred to is, simply, a fallacy.
A poor excuse from someone who wants to hide his true motivations (often childish) behind a smoke screen anointed with the respect that this word generates in us, almost automatically. Unfortunately, part of the responsibility for spreading this practice lies with politicians (not all of them, just the Belgium Mobile Number List bad ones), who constantly take advantage of these tricks to seek support for their most controversial proposals, knowing that, in this way, they will have more opportunities to achieve success. As a reliable example of this deplorable behavior, we have the example that we have been suffering for years in the Community of Madrid. Isabel Díaz Ayuso , leader of the PP in our region, could be considered an expert in the “art” of ideological sleight of hand.
Her permanent invocation of her freedom as a pretext for each of her governmental eccentricities is a constant attempt to cover up a disastrous management and a lack of ideological substrate behind her few and misguided actions. She embodies, almost perfectly, the aforementioned moral and intellectual baseness of someone who tries to hide behind a concept much more powerful than what her capacity can encompass. So much so that he has taken his pantomime to the limit of reason, presenting himself to the citizens under the motto “socialism or freedom” (as if they were exclusive), almost trying to embody, in a version of very poor demagoguery, the work of Eugène Delacroix. “Freedom guiding the people”, replacing the weapons that the people carry with the beers served in our bars.
