The Illusion of American Freedom
Freedom isn't what most Americans think it is. While we pride ourselves on being the "land of the free," about fifty countries rank higher in civil and political liberties. The dominant American conception of freedom-as merely the absence of constraints or government interference-fundamentally misses the point. In war-torn Ukraine, Timothy Snyder discovered that what people sought wasn't just the absence of Russian soldiers but the possibility for growth, purpose, and a better future. True freedom isn't inherited or given-it must be actively created through collective effort and individual virtue. Countries emphasizing "freedom to" (positive freedom) consistently outperform the United States even on "freedom from" measures. This isn't coincidental-it reflects a profound misunderstanding of what freedom requires. Freedom begins with sovereignty-knowing oneself and the world sufficiently to make value judgments and realize them in action. But how can we achieve this in a world increasingly designed to make us predictable?
