A majority of human beings don’t care what the State does because most of them in some form or another derive benefits from the State. It’s hard to get support from Mary and Peter when Paul comes to rob you and gives a portion of that stolen money to Mary and Peter.

The State is a flawed concept that derives it’s existence due entirely to human nature. As a single man if he would steal from another, he would tell you no. Ask him if he would accept money stolen from his neighbor, again he may tell you no. However, ask if he would accept a tax credit, and he would most likely accept it. He fails to see that the tax credit comes from stealing money from his neighbor and gives it to him, so he doesn’t think it is stealing. In fact, he would justify his acceptance, so religiously, he believes in the State as an entity that does more good then harm.

The State can indeed elevate a doctor above a man. The State is a creation of fiction, and like any good book, they can make anything they want happen. A “doctor” can be elevated to a “God” with just a few words written on paper. A “doctor” can turn a simple act of self-medication, into a criminal act by simply refusing to act. The State believes it owns you, and as such it can do with you, like any regular master to their slave, that it wants to.

Of course, when the State is put into reality, and other human beings are shown the ‘emperor’ has no clothes, then you are correct, it is indeed absolutely ridiculous. Unfortunately, most human beings believe the State does exists, that it can in fact act as a human being acts, and anything the State says is righteous and true.
