Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.[1]
Context
Only the very rich and the very poor are free to do as they chose.[2]
Problems
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal loaves of bread[3]
The phrase "freedom is lost one inch at a time" reflects the idea that the erosion of freedoms often happens gradually, through small, seemingly insignificant changes, rather than sudden, dramatic shifts. This concept is frequently discussed in the context of governance, civil liberties, and societal vigilance. It serves as a cautionary reminder to remain aware of incremental changes that could collectively lead to significant restrictions on personal or collective freedoms.
Solution
The only moral command, and the only law, must be that no one human should ever force another to do something that they don't want to do.
