>> Yes, you guessed it, I’m talking about Facebook. And what I’m guessing is that this is exactly what Facebook wants to be. Not a company, a country.
I have thought about that in the past in regard to the Palestinians. Can you be a country without physical land?
I have thought about that in the past in regard to the deep divide in the US. Could we have 2 countries simultaneously occupying our land? I’ve thought about a system where the socialists get what they want, but just don’t get to impose it on the rest of us! Ok, all you socialists, if that’s what you want, here’s a big pot and you can all throw your money in and it will be divided equally. So sign up for that and you get free stuff, so long as the money in the pot holds out. But don’t sign up for that and you get to keep your money, much lower taxes, you have to provide for your own retirement, health care, insurance, etc.
It would be a GREAT experiment! It would be especially fun to see who signed up for socialism and who didn’t. All those rich people clamoring about the poor! Are they going to volunteer to pool their money? Or were they all talk and hoping for someone else’s money to fund their pipe dreams? Middle class taxpayer money. How long would all that last until the pot ran dry. I’d bet not long. I’d bet within a year it would be starting to crumble as the few that were working found out they were carrying the slugs on their backs.
As for FB, I don’t think they want to be a country. Not one of many anyway. I think they want to be dictators of the world. I think that’s what the story of the Tower of Babel warned us against.

I can find articles, but you’re analyzing at a level that just awes me. Really thought provoking.
