...or to put it another way, "'Mostly free' is still 'somewhat enslaved'".

Exactly.

Once the idea that rights are absolute is dispensed with, the only argument left is the degree of enslavement.

Once the idea that rights(responsibility) are absolute---invioiable...

wouldn't the lack/abuse of responsibility/rights be criminal--tyranny?

I have said from the beginning...means--methodology--behavior--action--example is critical(determines results)---

. . . . ends/philosophy/ideology/words ultimately are drivel-irrelevant!

...the only argument left is the degree of enslavement.

...the only argument left is the degree of responsibility--reality--freedom(sobriety) vs. rhetoric(lies-bias-pretense)!

The "means(sincerity)" predetermine the ends(Truth-love)---

everything else is smoke--mirrors--hype--hypocrisy(slobovia--lower)!
