Liberty is also relative

Like freedom, an individual is neither at nor not at liberty, because liberty’s content varies in space and time. Most importantly, however, there is no state where some level of liberty, even minimal, was or is not afforded to individuals, that is, some absence of restraints so as to allow them to be able to process information on the information platform that was or is their state (see also §22.00.08). Whether that level was satisfactory or not each time is a matter of politics (comparison being natural to humans). Freedom therefore, whenever found in political discourse, invariably actually means different levels of liberty, that is, it is part of the discussion on political systems (see §12.00.01).
