Of course, your freedom is limited by other people's freedom. However, nobody can force you to buy something, which, in a state, happens all the time.

Pretty sure nature can force you to buy things, in the sense that you otherwise die.

Nature is in a different moral category to a human becuase there are empirical observable differenves.

This isn't an argument, stop pretending it is. It's lazy and not particularly helpful.

It's not an argument it's a fact. You cannot hold nature responsible for its actions in the way you can hold a human being responsible for theirs. Nature has no compunction to be consistent in its moral rules. The fact that nature is violent and arbitrary doesn't mean that humans get to be violent and arbitrary because they are in different moral categories.
