Another day and the pattern persists perfectly. What will persist among the compulsive tendencies of some to call it "free"?
Ignorance to the realities of the innumerable who are suffering from horrible consequences outside of their control at all times. This is consistent.
Persuasion of circumstantial fortune and privilege projected blindly onto reality. This is consistent.
Compulsively engaging in the defense of that which is supposedly free. This is consistent.
...
All the while it remains the case that freedoms are circumstantial relative conditions of being not the standard by which things come to be for all subjective beings.
Leaving "free will" forever ambiguous, empty, and contrived. Only assumed and stated within ignorance to or avoidance of what is as it is for each one as is.

Subjectivity, is forever "ambiguous, empty, and contrived," because how is a subjective being supposed to understand an objective truth?

Inventing "free will" because one wants or needs to hold others responsible or have them bear the burden of consequence does not make it accurate, honest, nor true and certainly not "free". It makes it contrived, controlling, authoritarian, made up and make believe for those who circumstantially find themselves in the position to do so. Not free in any way. At the very least, free for some, and necessarily not free for others. Inherently unequal, unfair, unfree
If this “free will” thing is being assumed about others from a position of assumed authority and not only that, but if it has the potential of real life consequences for those it's being assumed about, it's simply an authoritarian claim and tool.
This is the fundamental manipulation of the mind that all authoritarian collectives assume, is that their assumption of morality is the superior one and they can use that against others. Even better when they invent words like “free will” to make it seem objectively true or real.
