Why is it not obvious to people that their freedom comes from their feet not their voice?
For those of you who haven't figure this out yet don't feel bad, even I spent half my life not understanding it. But the truth is it is right there in front of us demonstrated in every relationship we have ever been in!
Your freedom as defined as your is your right to do and act for yourself is directly depended upon your ability to leave. That ability to leave is the only real option and leverage anyone can have.
This is true of your personal relationships like friends & family, and your economic & political relationships, like Jobs and Government.
Wherever you lack the ability to leave you lack a great many other freedoms and good treatment as well because the interest of the origination regardless of how its defined it need not be concerned with your interest.
Think about it, and you will see the pattern everywhere.
Your family, your employee, your government. The more practically you are able to walk away the more free you are in said relationship.
This concept is pointing out that your freedom, and all reason to respect your interest in the relationship comes from your right/ability to leave.
No relationship is without some benefit. The question is only whether or not that benefit outweighs the cost.
Your right to leave is the only leverage you have to insure the relationships is worthwhile to all parries involved.

That's spot on , you must have that freedom to depart/ leave , its does appear this is made increasing difficult in certain circumstances. But , the most shocking thing with regard to Covid 19 , was how easy it was to make people rollover / comply , I simply could not believe how fools could just " accept " , now you can choose to isolate if you wish , you can choose to not travel , not move around -- But NOONE , including governments have the right to take away my right to choose , but they did !
It happened , it was in part violent , law enforcement , state of emergency , all in the name of " The greater good " , this is socialist europhoria. It must NEVER happen again , but with China playing the long game , and the reaction of people , the brainwashing element of same , it will continue to happen.
To walk is always key to freedom , and right now I've never seen so many citizens walking away from the USA , we are seeing more and more of them here , and I can understand why. USA is the representation of world freedom , free markets , free opportunity.
While goverment represents a great example, the right to leave is just as important in every other kind of relationship to your freedom.
Your freedom comes from comes form this right. That we trade some of it for security in a world which will not let us leave entirely all the time. Does not change the fact that we only really reclaim our freedom when we reclaim the right to leave.
I'm referring to all relationships - business , government , personnal , friendship , sporting clubs , and more , Covid is a govt example.
Well im the opposite 🤝 i'm more on the debates scale first, than taking into actions

I'm afraid you misunderstand the concept. I am not telling you to leave, you should certainly debate first and negotiate. I'm telling you your right and ability to leave is what protect your freedom and interest in the relationships.
Your choice to do so should only be taken if the other controlling interest refuses to strike a balance that is more beneficial that it is costly to you.
Ah I see, yea it's still the other person's choice
