“Sure, freedom means that different people can express different points of view, that they are polarized politically. Better to debate the issues that create polarization than to suppress dissenting opinions, pretending that everyone agrees with whatever the government leaders do for their own good. Large-coalition governments are about easily throwing the rascals out; they are not about consensus. Dictatorships, as the word indicates, dictate consensus and punish those who openly disagree.”
