This article that has been making the rounds about how Google is somehow a state is straight-up idiotic bullshit, and it’s pissing me off.

The idea that “paying tax” is what defines a nation-state is a political conception somewhere between the most child-like sense of socialism and Tea Party…

Something I’m only now wishing I put into my piece on The State: when my mate and I went to drink the cool aid at the cult of the Long Boom, we wound up hanging back, chatting with McKenzie Wark. My mate now works at Google.
