Gary North’s comment in his recent article that “it takes an estimated 100,000 employees in China to regulate the Internet” reminds me to say that the state needs you to do its dirty work. And that certainly goes for the American state. This is why I am so hard on Americans in the CIA, military, DEA, NSA, TSA, IRS, etc. They are the ones empowering the state. The state lives and breathes through them.
