Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."

This political compass map may look nonsensical at first, but it follows a consistent internal logic. Within the rules-based international order, freedom is not understood as a set of inherent natural rights that must be protected. Instead, it is framed as a continuous process of negotiation, where individuals and groups form voluntary associations through multilateral institutions. From that perspective, being born into a particular nation or culture is seen more as bondage. Look at the map again with that definition of "freedom" in your head. It'll snap into place. American political traditions and the globalist framework rest on fundamentally different epistemological foundations. The American model is grounded in the idea of natural rights; the globalist model prioritizes institutionalized pluralism and negotiated order. You can see this distinction in Soros’s own words:
