    The code is very simple: when they speak of freedom, liberty, etc., there is a very strong ingroup/outgroup divide. The freedoms and liberties are only for the ingroup, and they are freedoms and liberties to do certain things to the outgroup. In other words, said freedoms and liberties are negative-sum; they are the freedom to remove *other peoples'" liberties.
