I tend to agree with you about freedom. If you are surrounded by a multitude of humanity there is no real freedom under any form of government. Freedom is an illusion created by chaos and perpetuated by a measure of personal security.

I have no problem with rules that limit freedom as long as there is order and I am left with the ability create a comfortable and quality life within the rules.

Years ago, if the rules or disorder became unbearable some would give up some security and move West with no appreciable loss of life's quality.

Unfortunately, there is no West anymore. I think this is why Space is so important to me. We need a place for the discontented to go and regain symmetry.
