It sounds to me like James is not considering these businesses to be heros.
Thing is, my message makes sense only if you know who James is. Take into account for instance James' message from last week or so about the arch-criminal elon musk. You can get some more info about James' political views here : https://jim.com/blog "Child protective services abducting children from Christian families and selling them to gays" "The silicon valley meritocracy exemption has collapsed, and now silicon valley is collapsing because of affirmative action" "The pope worshiping naked pagan idols." et cetera...
I'm pretty sure like libertarians are counter to top-down control,
that's correct. REAL libertarians opposed top-down control.
don't really know.
Punk, in your other email you mentioned receiving bitcoin (in a way I felt confused and pain for James when reading).
Not sure what you mean? I don't think there was anything confused in that message =). I'm also pretty sure that James is clever enough to appreciate every bit of sarcasm contained in that message.
So you know, I didn't receive a bitcoin address in that email. Did you know bitcoin is designed to resist all censorship?
Is it? I know that all bitcoin transactions are public, and I know that 'miners' get to decide which transactions are included in the chain. I also know that mining isn't too 'distributed' and that the supposed creator of bitcoin wasn't bothered by mining being done in the NSA datacenter. So it doesn't really look like "bitcoin is designed to resist all censorship". Rather, it looks like whatever 'censorship resistance' bitcoin now has is accidental and won't last.

That's your beloved capitalist libertarian heros James. You wouldn't be complaining about the actions of the Capitalist Masters of the Universe would you?
