Usually freedom is thought of in terms of the individual (e.g. MY right to practice religion). Does group freedom also make sense?

You are imposing a negative fractal on nature. Inwardly imploding fractal, with your question.

Do you have the freedom to do that?

Ya, angry mobs have the right to be angry mobs! Sometimes they even succeed, like in Europe in the 90's... something.... I remember that drunk russian Yeltsin ceasing power and some Yogoslavian thing! All power to the drunk mob! Ya!!!

Oliver Cromwell, George Washington.

I consider your putting down the "angry mob" in Slavic countries as if you had no insight into what makes people angry, and you are judging who has the right to be angry and who does not.

Of course you did not put "Solidarnosc" and "The Quite Revolution" down. Or the uprising of '56. Because those are "cool" angry mobs. The West even supported them. Of course they are different from Yeltsin and Yugoslavia. Even a fool can see that.

A fool that relies on Newsweek, USA today, and the 6 o'clock News for his opinion. It's ready made, served to him on a platter complementing his TV dinner.

It's because you and your kind soooo believe the Western media, which is biased according to editorial policy, which is mainly dictated by Washington. (Not the dead president. The other Washington.)
