I think many from my side of the isle are starting to be a bit paranoid about encroachment on personal liberty from the Left.

I get that. At least in theory. As a practical matter, not so much.

while promoting freedom, they insist that freedom must be taken away.

Which critical freedom has been taken away of late by the left? Which critical freedom and they urging be taken away? Be specific.

I just pointed out there is very little information on which to condemn, in any way, the man's actions. They are his, not mine or yours.

Regarding his decision to quit, you seem to be forgetting that he was free to make that choice; no one stopped him. I'm just judging it irresponsible wrt his family obligations. I'm free to have an opinion. And he's free to quit short of a pension and then die before he could earn any more.

The meme floating around with Neil Young's picture claiming if "You won't censor Joe Rogan, I won't let you listen to "Keep on Rocking in the Free World". It is a perfect statement of condition.

Who won't let you? Is that not Neil Young's choice to make? He owns his product, just like Rand's Howard Roark. Isn't that the model of freedom? Young didn't even have to blow up any buildings.

the Left want individual freedom so long as THEY perceive it to dovetail with their own freedom

Pot, meet kettle.
