Frequently seen in the sentiment “everyone should be free to do whatever they want” and the part they don’t say out loud is “except form a collective that limits the freedoms of people”.
It also follows from the sentiment “there should be no borders” (as that necessarily sets the demand that everyone should agree with you to not have borders)
The paradox is that to maintain a “free” society, the system must eventually coerce those who do not consent to being “free” in the way the system defines it.
(Also anticipating the harm reduction principle as a protest: who gets to define what is “harmful” and why should everyone agree? It just kicks the can down the road.)
