Why are so many people in such a rush to reach Totalitarianism? It always amazes me that so many support this rush. It really is perplexing.
Freedom is an old an idea as the Earth. It's a natural instinct, it's not something new and profound.

Freedom is not an instinct.
It is a condition of the people in a society and it is more rare than you think.

You don't know what I think.
It is a human instinct. I was born with it.

Sorry but freedom is not an instinct human or otherwise.
If you were born somewhere else and sold into slavery as a child you would have learned differently.
And I know you don't know what you're talking about.
An instinct is an unlearned, species specific set of rigid behavior patterns independent of learning or conditioning.
Since not all humans exhibit such a behavior pattern (species specific) and there is nothing we do that is independent of learning or conditioning there is no such thing as a human instinct
The very fact that people accept living in bondage or under oppressive rule negates your claim that freedom is an instinct.

That's a relief. I guess since people born into slavery don't know any better the must be content.

It is sad
A lot is due to the poor education in the US; the public school system is closer to a socialistic
entity than most things in the US. No surprise, it pushes those values or at least does not
teach the values important to our freedom.
As such, many want and desire certain ends with ever understanding the means.
Also, it is mentally easy to be a liberal
and say the gov't should
-feed the poor
-spread the wealth
-make everyone have health care
Takes no brains for that and it makes them feel better about themselves
They are good people because they care
They may send their kids to private school, like Papa Obama, but he still cares
Exactly, that argument is ridiculous.
"since people live oppressed, freedom isn't an instinct".....................gee, I wonder how many beers it takes to deduce that sort of logic.

If you're going to quote me get it right.
That people ACCEPT living in bondage is what I said. If freedom were an instinct as you say it would be impossible for a human to accept that living condition by definition.
Instincts refer to behaviors and freedom is not a behavior it is a condition.
I don't always eat when I'm hungry, or drink when I'm thirtsy.
eating is not an instinct. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaaaa. You're an idiot. Babys cry when they're hungry because they were previously taught to eat......rye? rye. stfu dude, you're bloviating and blabbering

An instinct is an unlearned behavior. If eating were indeed instinct then you would have no choice but to eat. The very fact that one can choose not to eat even up until death is proof that eating is not an instinctive behavior. It's the same with the so called survival instinct. That you could choose to jump off a bridge is proof you have no instinct to survive.
If babies had instincts to eat they would not have to learn how to eat.
Crying because in pain from hunger or gas is not the same thing as eating.
The crying might be argued to be an instinct as the suck reflex may be. But if they are instincts then they are temporary and that lack of permanence puts those behaviors in a different category.
You are a very simplistic thinker if you can't differentiate between learned and unlearned behavior patterns as they apply to a definition.
