I had a reply similar to that on my draft. It is incredible that people believe such things.
When I was 18 year old I had similar ideas, but later I found a great song by the clash that goes by as: “I fought the law but the law won”[1].
Even the rebellious spirit of 70s punk acknowledges that one may fight(and should) but the law wins, and has power over your body however the law says so. To fight the law you cannot use your body but your mind.
That's obviously untrue. For example the state claims the right to confine (and sometimes even execute) the body of people convicted of murder. And most people are ok with that.
Where the line is, is of course a complicated question, but the absolute version where the state cannot ever control people at all, is obviously false.
