Liberty is a concept for stupid people to say stupid things and further their stupid agenda. It had a meaning once when there were actual oppressive regimes around. The way it's used today in generally free countries has completely warped its meaning.

Liberty stops at common sense and human decency but a lot of people have to take it to its extreme. The concept itself is contradictory because absolute liberty is impossible.

Oppressive regimes are a thing of the past, gotcha. 

No they aren't but the word gets its most use in countries that aren't being oppressed.

Though even the oppressive regimes today are nothing compared to those in the past.
