You Are Being Lied to About Pirates
by Johan Hari in the Huffington Post
... there is an untold scandal. ... "one of the great menace of our times" have an extraordinary story to tell -- and some justice on their side...Pirates were the first people to rebel ... the pirates elected their captains, ...collectively. ...shared their bounty... "one of the most egalitarian plans ...anywhere in the eighteenth century." Modern Somalis are oppressed by the industrial world ...as a great opportunity to steal the country's food supply and dump our nuclear waste in their seas. Yes: nuclear waste. ...At the same time, other European ...looting Somalia's seas of ...seafood. ***Belatedly, this idiot realized that some were questioning both nuclear-waste dumping AND fishing and claims that these are done in different places.We should also respect the democratic process in Somalia where pirates are popular****
... 70 percent "strongly supported the piracy as a form of national defence of the country's territorial waters." During the revolutionary war...paid pirates to protect America's territorial waters,... Is this so different? ****Yes, very different! ****...
****What does Hari like about historical pirates? Egalitarian, rebels, collectivist, distributionist. He forgot to mention another oppressed group: historical pirates were mostly homosexual ( the modern Somalis are probably an exception ).
