I love how you bring it all back to #golang 😆
I believe St. Pope John Paul III defined true liberty as being free to do what is right. That is different from freedom to do what we please, and may actually entail us giving up certain options.
The real question, and this may be the crux of the "fourth turning" the article discussed, is "freedom for what?"
For example, freedom of speech is specifically meant as freedom to speak against the government, so as to pursue the common good in a democratic republic. If we can say whatever we want but have no actual voice in government, that freedom is neutered.
