What is Liberty?

Basic common sense laws aren't antithetical to liberty. It's about having the most personal freedom you can within society but again within reason. It's very useful as a basis for a society because it protects the personal freedom of the individual against the whims of the collective and people are ultimately happier/better off for it. I would love it if SJWs and some religious people would adopt liberty as a basis of their beliefs, we'd be better off. 

 

The problem is when you start to believe that the current way is the ideal way, and groups that attempt to change that (such as "SJWs" as you say) are upsetting the order of things, without considering that change needs to be made in order to improve things.

I'm not against change in general but that's a case by case kind of of thing. I won't buy into something just it's some kind of change or labeled as "geared toward progress". I'm not fine with how things but I highly disagree with the kind of change SJWs want because it's counterproductive to real equality and progression. I want equality in the sense that people treat each other as equals and not based on their sex, race, sexuality or religious beliefs. Liberty is conductive to that.
