Yes, that is an “actual argument” from a Brit on Twitter. Imagine the level of Stockholm Syndrome you must be suffering to believe that people who desire liberty must live like bushmen to achieve it.

To tell someone that the only way to achieve liberty is to move someplace remote, out of the community they were born into, is to admit that you are not free, and have embraced your chains.
