     @lain It's better that Disney control Florida content. I trust people smart enough to monopolize all media with our moral well-being than someone who has to get elected using media.

     I like how MSM is defending how Disney ran as an independent government for all these years without having to pay many taxes or get approval for anything they build or dump.

     They should make a Disney princess more reflective of their business practices:

     @lain I can't even react to headlines anymore, because more often than not the article proves the headline to be a outright lie. Is this just "control" as in "stop controlling"? Where someone disingenuous will portray ending a subsidy as government intervention and overreach?

     @thendrix @mia @aven i just wish people would be fighting to give those 'exemptions' to everyone instead of trying to take them away from disney.

     Disney was the king however they could build and operate power plants without oversight or paying for zoning and environmental costs. While a single family home purchase could be forfeit if some rare pepe (toad actually) is found in their land.

     @thendrix @lain it's not very ancap to get special exceptions from laws from the government so that your monopoly can monopolize more. It's subsidy and getting cozy with government to gain a anti-competitive advantage and make the market less free.

     @thendrix @mia @lain the single family home didn't lobby for eminent domain and special exemptions. By that logic, the Mickey Mouse Protection Act (Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act) was also AnCap, and so is Google by lobbying to be a platform and a publisher at the same time.
     
     None of this is AnCap or capitalist, it's just corporatist, buying the ability to cheat from the government by getting cozy with the government.

     @thendrix @lain @mia it's less "Don't Tread on Me" and more "Tread on Them for Me", there's nothing principled about it, it's just kleptocracy.

     I guess you missed my other reply. My quip was more about principals than mechanics. I do not actually think Disney represents libertarian values. Just that they wish to operate with freedoms espoused by ancaps – while at the same time they would push opposition ideology and lock out others from such freedoms legally. ie copyright extensions.

     @thendrix @mia @lain a king can operate with the freedoms espoused by ancaps, but to paraphrase a Skyrim jarl: "It's good to be the jarl, you should try it sometime"
     
     Sorry, it just bugs me because sometimes I see lolbertarians idolizing Bill Gates because he rich, and being rich is capitalism, or something, and that's what's presented to the public as libertarianism, when it's about as capitalist as Nancy Pelosi. It's a caricature made by anti-capitalists.
