No, this is what normal looks like. Being able to wear what you want is not "freedom", it should be considered the bare minimum.

You don't get to pat yourselves on the back until you achieve actual freedom.

What is your definition of actual freedom.

Here are other freedoms you can see in the picture btw:

  • Freedom of and from religion
  • Freedom of association
  • Freedom to dress as you choose (ask Muslim women in France about this one)
  • Freedom of movement

Those are about as good as you can expect from a pic of people on the subway.

And everything except the movement falls under “freedom of expression” which is the first amendment, so you know that it’s important.

It seems silly to argue the semantics here when you both obviously are in agreement.

I'm not in agreement though. It's not semantics to say that I disagree with their usage of the words "real freedom"

What are you on about? How does it being the bare minimum mean it's not freedom?

He forgets that throughout most of human history religious freedom wasn’t “normal”
