By defining what you want as "freedom", and any challenge to it as "tyranny" you effectively reframe the argument linguistically, not philosophically. That's why I use quotation marks, not for emphasis, but to make the distinction between a thing, and its name.
What you call "freedom" I want no part of, and what you call "tyranny" has nothing to do with anything I believe or think or want. And you continue to insist I am making a conscious choice for the latter because I fear the former. But with emotionally loaded words substituting for clear definitions, you have rigged the rhetorical game so only you can win.
I don't see your Objectivist, Libertarian universe as a very nice place, much less as freedom, it only favors the wolves, and it appeals mostly to those who fancy themselves wolves.
