Around me and in academic circles you would be called antivaxxer for even questioning these things.
I think a mass exodus to the seas and a rebirth of the age of piracy is one of the most viable way to keep men free low key
Ways *
And be bound by to a vessel? No thanks
Nation states infringing on first world folks rights and ability to do things
Just leave the nation state
Rob from the global market
And die for a cause
@Stipler Monke like Somalia? lol
I believe the benefits of the nation state have been evidenced throughout history
But smarter
Human corruption is the same everywhere you go
Somalian pirates are very unorganized
Boat life is rough.
Yes
Ship*
But if you become a reasonable force in the international market by the way of just: selling commodities at bulk and cheap to struggling 3rd world economies at a huge profit because it’s stolen
Piracy but instead of the goal being to benefit only the crew
You generate economies by educating and helping infrastructure to struggling countries
@Stipler Monke all you can sell to third world countries is what you catch at sea. Be nice or they will kill you.
Well obviously
The whole world is going to try and kill you
They have shit economies because they have low IQs.
A North American rebel cell in NAFTA waters. Oh man you’re going to have guns on your ass 24/7
Unless
You get good publicity
Living on a boat is unrealistic.
Poor countries also have poor economies because if they were booming and had a better quality of life it would be more expensive to transport good and pay them for Labour
The thing that would make it unrealistic is how prepared you are
People are not all the same.
You can not make geniuses out of morons.
That is why communism fails.
@Lᵃʷ ᵂʳᵉⁿ anyway, you know the "sciences" are filled with dogma these days. Colleges are where ideas go to die.
It is all about money
, who can bring in the largest research grants.
The biggest spenders decide what is researched and who gets to do the research.
People who memorize things and follow orders blindly do well in that environment.
So if you had a crew of North American dissenters who come from educated backgrounds who weren’t with any state and say idk set up a shop in let’s say Argentina. And let’s say this shops sells... meat. You aren’t going to be able to continue that shop if you don’t have a steady supply of livestock. And you can only have a small amount on the ship right ? So if you want that to succeed your priority in setting up said shop wouldn’t be to sell the meat. But to network to a farmer to send cattle in. Once you have people bringing in slaughtered cows. BOOM networking. Teach some workers how to cleanly butcher the meat. BOOM seized an entire branch of production. Where ever you put down that shop you just developed commerce where you landed. So if the place starts getting too successful. Sell it off and BOOM you just eliminated a small amount of market stagnation where ever you set that shop up. So! Say you sail around for 6 months before going back to that same port. If you set up and sold your meat market well enough you will have generated more commerce in that area. Which as a pirate you can 1. Take that capital entirely from the area and plunder them for maximum short term profits and decimation of what you set up 2. Set up a fence and create a trading area for yourself and continue helping the people in whatever way you see fit so that you build a good image for yourself and possibly gain protection from the public opinion
