The idea that freedom is hierarchical...
...clashes with the idea that freedom is fundamentally for everyone.
While some have more power, freedom should apply equally. A fair society ensures everyone has fundamental liberties.
2 ...also goes against the view that freedom exists on a spectrum, not in a rigid ranking system.
Instead of a hierarchy, freedom exists in varying degrees. The goal is to expand that range for everyone, especially the marginalized.
3 ...and doesn't acknowledge that freedom is deeply connected to our relationships with each other, not just something we have as individuals.
Freedom is tied to our relationships and communities. True freedom requires mutual respect, empathy, and a commitment to building a just and equitable society.
4 ...plus, it ignores the fact that freedom is about not being oppressed, not just having power.
True freedom comes from dismantling oppression, so that everyone has genuine autonomy and agency.
5 ...and it contradicts the basic principle that freedom is a universal human right, not a privilege for a select few.
Freedom is something we all possess simply by being human. Therefore, any attempt to rank people's freedom violates that core principle.
