We are made impotent if our security is provided by, or dependent on another person. It is possible for the one who provides our security to be the one to take advantage of our situation; who would we complain to? We are trapped if it is the authority figure in a Society that is exploiting us. The remedy to this is freedom, so that we cannot be exploited.
If we are not the provider of our own security then we have no hope not to be exploited at some time. Anyone that we cannot defeat, or at least threaten, can take advantage of us.
If the choice of freedom (assuming it is present) is less appealing than to remain under the 'protection' of our tormentor then we have a Hobson's choice and will remain.
