One of the most important words to describe what we aspire for in our freedoms is uncontainability. It should be impossible to impose any societal assumptions or containments on a given individual without their own approval, except in cases of verifiable disease transmissibility, such as prevention of the spread of a pandemic until the risk of catching it is itself brought down e.g. by vaccination. The containments that society tends to impose on people include such things as social expectations (forcing and guilting about attending to family events, e.g. birthdays, parties), clothing, a presumption of housing that doesn't allow the unhoused to engage with many things, rent, capitalism in general, drafts to militaries, corrupt policing and false imprisonment, gerrymandering and limitations of political choices, the imposition of specific pigeonhole categories and labels on personalities and body types, genders, sexualities, places of origin, skin colours, etc. In these ways and many more, we should become uncontainable as well as ungovernable.
