The interactions of negative vs positive freedoms is something rarely discussed in the west. The freedom to something or the freedom from something. Hell, they see concepts like being bound to family, community, and society as oppression because apparently being atomized into a lone individual who inherently is owed nothing and owes nothing is true freedom.
I swear this is why you see people in the US always "searching for meaning" in their lives. Alone and atomized. Not belonging to an extended family, community, and society around them, owing nothing thus owed nothing and vice versa. They want rights with no responsibilities.
Symptoms of social alienation. Surrounded by people but all alone in an atomized society. No meaningful connections to form, a social contract where by default we owe no one and no one owes us. Social structures and communities we exist in rather than belonging to. Outside an isolated nuclear family every relationship is one where we are meant to be in competition rather than cooperation. Why not become a ghost in a society like this one, especially when one lacks the antisocial/psychopathic and narcissistic traits it rewards?
