People don’t understand how they benefit from other people’s freedom. If they did, then they would have voted this up rather than down.
No. Starting a discussion with the title is political concept X less wrong, indicates that you are ignorant of how this community thinks about rationality and thus get voted down. Not arguing the case for the concept adds further insult to injury.
Even if people would agree with the basic idea, the post likely still would be voted down.
Honestly I didn’t quite understand your post. This is the closest I got...
“People do understand how they benefit from other people’s freedom… but they voted this down because they prefer to focus on style rather than substance.”
The second part can’t be right though so I just chose to respond to the first part.

Engaging in rational arguments is more than a style issue. If your post isn’t making a rational argument for the position that you advocate, then it has no substance, regardless whether there are other people out there how could make a rational argument for the position.

Do you understand how you benefit from other people’s freedom? If so, would you mind explaining it to me?
Yes. No.
Neither of those questions have a relevance to my post.
