Asking whether someone should be free isn’t just about human rights

It’s also about self-determination. We can keep asking about the latter down to the individual level. It very much depends on context.

the topic is if a generalised group of people should be free. There's no context needed. The answer is a simple yes by default.
It's easy to seem like you have clarity of thought when you ignore all nuance. How far do you recurse this principle? Down the the level of 5 year old children in a household?
So every generalisable group should be free?

Would you include single member groups?

What precisely is your definition of freedom.

Prisoners?
