    Thread a good example of a certain strand of libertarian corporate bootlicking: upshot is Ditko's family not entitled to any rights of his labour but Disney/Marvel arehttps://twitter.com/DocIncredibleX/status/1441651802357870593 …

    ☭⃠ DocIncredible ☭⃠ @DocIncredibleX
    Please remember: The Ditko Family did not create Spider-Man, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee did, and no one is entitled to the fruits of someone else's labour, especially for as petty a reason as familial relationship. https://twitter.com/shmegegge/status/1441509890015449088 …

        in theory yes, but the people arguing against disney here are doing it from the reactionary position that it's disney and not some principled copyright position

        I've always been puzzled that libertarians don't support 100% inheritance tax. I've never heard a good argument either. Devolves to "taxes are theft" stuff. A big philosophical inconsistency, IMO.

        "I've always been puzzled that Libertarians don't support the government taking their stuff." Libertarians believe that they should be free to do with their property as they wish, without the government inserting themselves into the equation. How is that remotely confusing?pic.twitter.com/q4FJM3yZPY

        Somebody who bought Disney stock yesterday makes more money off those characters than the creators or their heirs, and that's supposed to be a good thing?

        Funny how individual absolute rights fade off into private tyranny of corporations, for libertarians. Funny how that goes.🤔
