Freedom is a good thing but it also a subjective thing. Individually freedom
without individual obligations and duties, and especially social contract
collectively, becomes a form of tyranny. I don't use the word anarchy because
this word is abused and 
most people do not understand what political anarchy actually means.

That aside, when white men speak of freedom it is usually about privilege (the
privilege of white men re-termed 'freedom'), and not freedom per se, that they
usually complain about. Almost all conservatives argue freedom from this
fallacy.
