Absolutely! He simply has a very original take on "freedom", but we all know that's a tricky word to pin down, so don't think about it too much, and leave it to the big dogs to tell you when your freedom is being protected.

How are you defining authority? My understanding is it's specifically referring to "power over"; via implicit/explicit coercion, threat, manipulation, and so on. I don't see why opposition to such uses of power, and the desire to build alternative systems which don't rely on such means, has to be a negative or "naive" or "unrealistic" thing.

They can use the state to do that for them

and the company

Surely the company would never be just as authoritarian as the state!

Thanks for the info.

My concern is less about the reliability of the provided info and more the bias of the voice/language being used, and the choice of which facts get reported on. To me, this Politico article reads as rather sympathetic to the right wing.

Ultimately I don't think "unbiased" reporting truly exists, it'd be better if journalists (and their editors/employers) were transparent about conflicts of interest, like in scientific publications (even though it's not like that's likely to happen, so the reality is that anyone seeking such info has to find it out by themself). Not to mention how the left-right spectrum is pretty subjective and vague.

Does anyone have an alternative source?Politico Europe is owned by Axel Springer SE, and Axel Springer was apparently like Germany's Murdoch.

Not my photo and I don't entirely remember its context but I'd saved it back then because it really struck me how blatant the Bernie censorship was
