Is it just me or do statists often conflate two very different meanings of the word 'consequences'?
Post Body
When saying "actions have consequences" they're often defending authoritarian punishment by drawing on the definition people have in mind of 'consequences' as something natural and inevitable. Things that follow from the given action without any conscious force making that be so. This seems to be an obvious case of equivocation, and people being so brainwashed as to see state (and other hierarchical) violence as natural and inevitable, as if it's not an example of authoritarianism at all.
