and business leaders in the US used their freedom to lobby for war in the cases of both Vietnam and Iraq ie they used their freedom to kill millions for a paycheck funded by the people.

or the freedom US carbide used when it killed 10,000 people in Bhopal, India? they had the freedom to not use safety equipment.

hell Bezos and Musk are currently using their freedom to completely undermine the US government and factually the US has not been democratic since the mid-2000s, numerous studies have concluded that the people have effectively no say over policy of any kind and that implemented policy is almost always wanted by and often written by business.

all freedom leads to mass oppression.

finally why is murder worse then not murder? what makes stopping people killing others with force better then letting them kill each other?

ie it would have been moral for the Indian government to kill the regional head of US-carbide in order to stop them using their freedom to kill thousands.
