Rainbow Cloud 18,120 July 6, 2019 Share July 6, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeglow Flicker 13,693 July 6, 2019 Share July 6, 2019 Order or Freedom... The only way I can decide between the two is to flip a coin and hope that it explodes and kills me. So I'll just say neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershutter 2,491 July 6, 2019 Share July 6, 2019 (edited) 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.

Dreambiscuit 9,875 July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon Jet 5,491 July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 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. 1 Dark thoughts are banished!

Yakamaru 3,127 July 7, 2019 Share July 7, 2019 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. 1 “Discovery is dangerous . . . but so is life.

A Small Bear 60 July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 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.

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,611 July 8, 2019 Share July 8, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardust 641 July 23, 2020 Share July 23, 2020 (edited) I'm always for freedom. Not the orderly sort and I like to give people free choice as much as possible.

Dreambiscuit 9,875 July 24, 2020 Share July 24, 2020 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedishy 3,548 July 24, 2020 Share July 24, 2020 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. 5 May the Friendship be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakamaru 3,127 July 24, 2020 Share July 24, 2020 Freedom, definitely. Though without some order our species end up chaotic. “Discovery is dangerous . . . but so is life.

AppleButt 8,675 July 25, 2020 Share July 25, 2020 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.

Early Sunsets 2,107 July 25, 2020 Share July 25, 2020 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. 1 Rainbow Dash Fanatic "You stroll down memories of younger, brighter times 'cause you never realize what you've got till you leave it all behind." ~ dBPony "So we’re here at the end, did we teach you well, my friend?
