"You can't say you are for freedom when you try to force people to do things your way. Your way seems practical and beneficial but it is not freedom. You can't suppress someone and call it freedom, even if it is beneficial."
When you are freeing the suppressed you are not forcing people to do things your way. You are stopping [i]others[/i] from forcing [i]their[/i] way on people.
For example, to take a page from history without invoking Godwin's Law (since doing to make it [i]far too easy[/i] to prove my point), I wouldn't give a damn for the [i]beliefs[/i] of the Khmer Rouge. They were suppressing the freedom of millions (not to mention [i]killing[/i] several million people, too).
Under World Empress Becky I, the [i]culture[/i] of the Khmer Rouge would either comply with my edicts or face the dire consequences. (I would remind you that the premise of your question gives me both the funding and time to do so.)
Freedom is not free. It must be granted or won and then defended or lost.
