@cdarwin@c.imTrump is just the worst!
The National Park Service is reshuffling its free-admission schedule
so that visitors get in free on Donald Trump’s birthday next year,
while Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (previously free days) will now require regular entrance fees.

@hex@kolektiva.socialThere are 3 fundamental freedoms outlined in Dawn of Everything:
(1) the freedom to move away or relocate from one’s surroundings;
(2) the freedom to ignore or disobey commands issued by others; and
(3) the freedom to shape entirely new social realities, or shift back and forth between different ones.
I think these can all be captured in one statement when reframed as a system constraint: for a system to be free, participation must be optional for all members.
People must be part of *some* system. Even individualistic survivalism is itself a system (if not a very good one). Then there is a corollary as well: any system that is not free, that is not optional, can turn optional systems into mandatory ones, and thus (adopted from the MLK quote) un-freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.

I'm gonna drop the #Philosophy tag on here because apparently that's where I went with it. Challenges and push-back welcome.
