Some days you just want to head down to the docks, join a mercenary and ruthless pirate crew, settle upon a harsh but fair code of buccaneer justice to rule the ship, and cruise the Spanish Main for treasure

Maybe you’ll get a decent captain like an Edward Teach. Maybe you’ll have to deal with a Stede Bonnet, you can never escape the underqualified and overconfident

@liamvhogan you had me at "treasure"

Graeber is wrong [clank] to identify pirate institutions so strongly with democracy because any necessarily command organisation like a ship needs a consent basis—it’s not necessarily democratic at all, just permissive, even transactional.
The appeal of pirates to us is that they get to sail around doing cool shit, they have a job that makes sense, they wear awesome clothes, and get the best lines. What’s so hard to understand

@mike anyway, booty calls so I should head to work [a young person whispers in my ear] oh no, that’s not what I meant at all

@liamvhogan better to be a pirate than join the navy, because only piracy admits the possibility of a better world

@liamvhogan One of my favourite, underrated songs
Chorus
Travellers of high seas/travelling trains nightly/the city’s a sea and/seein’ pirates is likelyFave lyric
Captain slash pirate/pirate a.k.a. captain/many things get broken/when thunderstorms happen
To those corrupt executives/that can’t tell the truth/arr-harr m’laddies/we’re here to steal your loot -
