Not related to Hornblower, but I recolored James Norrington's EITC uniform from POTC so that it resembled the typical blue and white of the Royal Navy.

The U.S. Constitution was created to prevent Shay’s rebellion from turning into a bigger rebellion. After the founding father’s defeated King George’s army, they turned around and taxed American farmers just as badly as King George was taxing them. Unjustly taxing your own farmers back then would have been foolish unless they had already conspired with King George or the East Indian Trading company during the war, and had agreed to participate in economic commerce with them.

Separating Good from Evil in the British Empire | Dr. Nigel Biggar | EP 359

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Nigel Biggar break down his new publication, “Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning,” and parse out the truths and falsehoods from the modern day revisionist movement. They explore the ethics of imperialism, the motivations for the British colonies, their role in the slave trade, bringing modernity to much of the world, and looking back on history with a balanced lens. Dr. Nigel Biggar is a prominent British theologian, academic and author. He is known for his work in the fields of ethics, philosophy, and theology, particularly in the context of war, peace, and historical reverence. Biggar has made significant contributions to the study of Christian ethics and has written extensively on topics such as “just war theory,” moral responsibility, and the role of forgiveness in conflict resolution. He has been involved in various academic institutions, including the University of Oxford, where he held the Regius Professorship of Moral and Pastoral Theology.

Speaking on the Ellen Show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “[Cinderella] waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't. Rescue yourself!

Says the woman who starred in a trilogy that said, "No murderers and theives were good actually because they wanted freedom."

Secondo: Pirates of the Caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man that kills indiscriminately and torments the souls of the dead for fun as their poster villain, but then you watch the movie and it’s like “oh, actually, the worst villain in this movie is a small white British man who acts as the herald of capitalism.” Here is a man so heartless he literally cut his own heart out of his chest, but even HE isn’t as evil as the fucking East India Trading Company. That was very very brave and very very accurate of them.

Time travel to do list:

1. Stop the British East India Company from ever forming to prevent the rise of the 2 greatest evils this world has ever known: Biritsh People and the Stock Market.

2. Punch Leo Tolstoy in the face (this one is for u Sophia Tolstoy)

3. Purchase a bottle of the 60 drops of opium cough syrup

4. Befriend that one ancient farmer from babylonia (??? I think???) who was requesting water for his field and basically wrote the first ever "per my last email" and "cc-ing _____ for visibility!!!" In the history of mankind

@ashortdropandasuddenstop sent 🍺 [ x ].

"So y'want to go to the pub me?" Murtogg mused toward the newly appointed Admiral Norrington. Him wanting to go somewhere with Richard, this was a first. Not that Richard never drank, he rarely did. Truthfully he couldn't say no to Norrington no matter how hard he tried. Not after everything they had done together. He looked toward the man he admired ( or rather a lot more than just admired ) and cleared his throat. They hadn't spoken much since ... that heated event happened a while ago that Murtogg still thought about. The one that happened right before Norrington resigned. Now everything was just very awkward. "I'm supposing I can go get a drink with you, yeah. Can't say no to spending time with my commander." He didn't say much of anything else, he didn't even know what to make of the whole situation anymore.

The East India Company: The First Startup of Imperialism

The East India Company (EIC) is often hailed as a groundbreaking entity in the realm of trade and commerce. However, its significance extends far beyond mere economic activities; it can be viewed as the first "startup" of imperialism, blending entrepreneurial zeal with colonial ambition. This article explores how the EIC exemplifies the startup model of innovation, risk-taking, and market disruption, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for imperialism in the modern world...click here to read more

The difference is that Davy Jones is a devil. He kills indiscriminately the way a storm does, yes, but when he acts directly it's because he's collecting on a deal that was knowingly, willingly made by the other party. There's a clear code, clear rules you can use to escape him (stay on land, don't strike a deal).

Meanwhile the EITC is a bottomless pit of capitalistic greed, with active malice against everyone and anyone that gets in the way of that. They pretend to have rules, but those only ever apply in their own favor (which is how you get people like Governor Swann screwed over). You can't escape them because their territory is all-consuming and ever-expanding. Nothing is sacred except money-- and even that only when it's in their own pockets.

Davy Jones is eldrich, but he ain't that eldrich.

Western dealers (particularly the British) pushed the drug hard; by 1832 enough was pouring into Guangzhou – nearly twelve tons – to keep two or three million addicts high year-round (Figure 10.5).
