I suspect this is a universal truth.

Freedom is the vehicle that maintains these things.

Yes, but apparently the price of that vehicle is preferably paid by others. And I believe that is not how it works.

Given the amount of covid alarmism even now, I'm not so sure. There are people out there protesting to re-instate mask mandates.

People like being governed. Life is hard on your own.
