It does.

Until you start redefining "free" with State power, that is.

Either way, you're never conceptually "free" from consequence, official or otherwise.

Depends, personal freedom or more of an ethical freedom?

At some point, unlimited personal freedom begins to look like taking away the freedoms of those you're targeting.
