A free society means that not everything will go your way, and sometimes things happen that you don’t like. However, the government exists to prevent others from infringing upon your personal liberty and protect your right to live as you see fit. Individual freedom is lost when academic institutions, government entities, and culture as a whole humor and even incorporate this socialist sense of entitlement. The two cannot coexist. As we see more “woke” elitism and intolerance, the more our liberty is chipped away. Defending the rights of others to act in a manner with which we may not agree is the only hope we have of preserving freedom for all.
