    I read something once that made a lot of sense. For the left, freedom means “freedom from”. For the right, freedom means “freedom to”.

      well, all the examples in the image are “freedom to”, and are leftist viewpoints, so I’m not sure about that that statement.

      I mean, for me, it means both. I’m a big believer in FDR’s concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
