Freedom as you describe is a good example of how freedom is misunderstood and also not how freedom was ever exercised. Your preference, i.e., that there is "only one right way of going things" is an argument for authoritarianism and totalitarianism. The opposite of those things is freedom characterized not by your right to unethical behavior, that's not freedom but anarchy, but your right and every persons' right to have a say in the laws and how and by whom they are governed. In a free society if people don't like something, or don't like the government, they are free to try and change it. That is not true in a dictatorship.

What's the one right way of doing things and how do you know that?

Well, I think the one correct normative ethical system is the one that relies on empathy as the foundation of human behavior. I think this is a universal truth that can be understood by experiencing it. All evil is fundamentally rooted in objectification, and therefore freedom is synonymous with objectification. And that is why it can't be allowed.

Go ask the millions of dead soviets who died in the name of the union and see how making decisions based on empathy played out for them.

That actually doesn't matter unless they were falsely accused, wnd if they were then Stalin was in the wrong.

Humans have free will. Let it be a gift of mythology or science. You're free to be the way you want to be. There's certainly order that has to be followed for freedom to happen but it's better to have freedom than to never be free at all.

There is no such thing as freedom. Every action or inaction has a consequence.

I mean if you're sitting in jail for a crime you didn't commit, I can imagine freedom would sound pretty good.
