Yes, I understand the point you're making divine1966, and it's a good point, but I actually see it the opposite way.
Karma, in a nutshell, is saying to the person, "there very much are consequences to your actions, both to you and to other people - to the world. Please take full responsibility for your actions. Don't be a fool."
And I think the whole reason why karma is an issue in the first place is because, a lot of people want to be able to get away with whatever they choose to do. But karma is saying "no, you wont get away with it. It's a fundamental law of nature. What you do to others you might as well do to yourself." And why? Because we're all actually connected as one.
So, the awareness of karma is crucial. Your freewill remains intact and you're not a victim. You're just part of a natural dynamic.
