There needs to be a balance between the two but I lean strongly towards freedom as I'd rather live in a society where you have rights and freedoms than one that's oppressive and authoritarian.

Freedom all the way!

"Order" is just going to be one group or one person's idea of how things should be. Life is never going to be perfect but at least with freedom everybody can try to have what they want.

Alright, I decided to be contrarian and vote "order" since pretty much everyone here seems to have spent too much time watching Mel Gibson movies.

You're free to go against the group. :pinkie:

I’d prefer freedom. If the strong control the weak then it’s up to the weak to use their heads and rise above it. Everyone responsible for their own success or failure is best for me.

I would go for both order and freedom. Order to keep things under control and everypony safe from harm and crime. Life without rules is chaos as Benson from Regular Show would say. Freedom for everypony to do what they like depending on their special talents and not become forced into anything they don't want to do. If you balance order and freedom together, it could make a world where everyone can be happy.

Fun fact, the Splatoon 2 Final Fest is similar to this topic.

Both.

Freedom to do whatever you want within the boundaries of common sense, but have enough order for society to keep itself stable.

Life without order is chaotic and is prone to abuse. Life without freedom to me is meaningless, as we are a naturally rebellious species that wants freedom to say and do whatever we want within reason.

So I am for a balance of the two.

This is kinda a loaded question. Both are very important I think. Order is necessary to protect freedom and freedom is necessary for people to want to uphold order. I think I'll put my vote on order since I do like the safety that a decently run government provides, but I do think personal freedom is very important.

Order for sure. I would prefer that peace of mind. Stability. Plus, at least in regards to me, freedom is overrated when nothing I do or say matters anyway in the grand scheme of things. One example is that currently, I can criticize something like the government as much as I please. Thing is, the government doesn't care about what I say, so it is like I am not saying it at all in the first place. Give me peace of mind over that any day.

You need both to have a fuctioning society, because one without the other will create problems.

At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

I'm always for freedom. Not the orderly sort and I like to give people free choice as much as possible. 

Ofc I wish for balance (order is necessary ya know) but yea that is what I skew towards.

Order and freedom don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Order is civilization and common sense, which shows the necessary maturity to be free and self-governing. Treating others as we want to be treated is pretty basic and doesn’t require anyone to give up freedom. It’s when people throw order to the wind that freedom is taken away by necessity. If you can’t play nice, you don’t play at all. I’m pretty sure that’s why they have prisons; for those who threaten the freedom and security of others.

Freedom trumps order however order is a necessity. Thus we need a bare minimum of rules that curtail people abusing others and that's it. In short order is to serve freedom.

Freedom, definitely. Though without some order our species end up chaotic.

You can’t have just one of those and expect a properly functioning world.  We need both.

Sometimes it’s best to inconvenience yourself with order than to worry about freedom. 
 

Like wearing a mask for example.  Some people feel their freedom to not wear one trumps the safety of others around them, and that’s not okay.   We can’t have that attitude if something even worse comes about.

North Korea or anarchy. Both are terrible, but I'd say anarchy is less bad.

Ideally, freedom with just enough order to keep people in line. As long as you're not dicking people over, you should be able to do whatever you want.

I’m gonna go with Freedom and also order is needed in some situations.


Like when I visit a takeaway shop, I always have to order or I’ll never get to eat.
