**In society it is impossible to have freedom while also safely ensuring it won't be abused at the same time.** You have to choose one or the other.
**Freedom implies elimination of responsibility.** Beginners often erroneously think that freedom must come with responsibility, but investing about a minute of thinking reveals the opposite is in fact true. Responsibility implies punishment for bad decisions, even if the punishment is only internal (feeling bad about what one has done etc.) and a threat of punishment for some decision effectively removes the option, i.e. ad absurdum responsibility is like having a man pointing gun at you, saying "don't you dare do A, or else" -- you are not physically prevented from doing A, but the threat effectively makes you not be able to choose A, reducing freedom. The logic of "freedom with responsibility" therefore argues than for example people under oppressive totalitarian regimes have [freedom of speech](free_speech.md) because their mouth is not physically sewed to prevent them from speaking, they can really say anything they want, they just have to accept they will be executed along with their whole family if they say something bad.

NOTE: One may ask how will [LRS](lrs.md) deal with the above? If we argue for true freedom, do we argue for feeling no responsibility even for things like murder etc.? The answer is basically this: to make people not do bad things don't remove their freedom to do bad things, keep their freedom to do anything while making them want to choose to do good things.
