watched the james somerton video by todd in the shadows and the claim that pissed me off the most that pirates were "proto leftists who invested in their infrastructure neglected by their authorities like schools" THEY OWNED SLAVES. SOCIAL PROGRESS WAS NOT IN THEIR AGENDA AS THIEVES AND VIOLENT ORGANISED CRIMINALS. THIS ISNT ONE PIECE

#✂️#im from england specifically from a city with a strong pirate history and genuinely the way that people talk about pirates piss me kff #this isnt your cute little misfit queer stories with chaotic bastard energy and fucking. found family #they were a component of colonialism and imperialism. they were just more vigilante about it instead of naval officers who took orders #from the crown. its like cowboys #their lack of government influence does not mean they were robin hood. it just means they were doing it on their own terms #cowboys (well i mean outlaws but u get the idea) were also famously part of colonialism. fuckheads
