Now there's a film I'd like to see!

A thing I love about Black Sails is it takes "None of these famous pirate tales have ANY evidence" and makes it a central theme of the show.

Black Sails is amazing too and Anne Bonny is such a good character in it. Everyone should watch it (but it's not about this particular duo).

It's not a movie but Hell Cats by Carina Rodney (on Audible) is a really good audio drama all about Read & Bonny.

Debt collectors, hitmen & child traffickers are workers too, but they're not good guys and if they unionise it's Bad Times for everyone else

I'm saying capitalism works by paying all workers less than the value that their labour creates. That stolen excess is what 'profit' is.

Socialism sounds OK in theory. But in practice it's SO good the CIA have to spend billions of dollars doing awful things just to suppress it

Nah dude. You can either have a planet suitable for human habitation, OR any form of capitalist economy. You only get to pick one.

By definition, if a company makes profits and/or pays out big to bosses or shareholders, the workers DO add value they don't get paid for.

The baseless extrapolations in this post are so wild it's like the author was attempting to prove their own point.

He was always an asshole. Just that he used to be an asshole in regard to things you don't really care about.

I'm talking about his actions, not his opinions. He's now a full time anti-trans hate preacher, and this is the moment that started it all.

Only good thing about this post is the one thing Graham Linehan hates more than trans women is people claiming his shows have a laugh track.

...while it was clear he'd messed up, anti-trans activists jumped on him, radicalised him, and his ego sent him down the path he's on today.

This episode is what made Glinner the appalling shitbag he is today. He thought he was writing the joke at Douglas' expense, but... (1/2)

People who hate this plot line are weird. If you can't enjoy giant communist racehorses destroying Space Monaco maybe good art isn't for you

As Star Wars movies go, they're good ones! It's just that the vast majority of the loudest posters on this site are utter pricks.

...and Middle Eastern countries, and Asian countries, and European countries, and African countries...

There's a hell of a lot of oil under Venezuela - US gov. is conspiring with Big Oil and straight-up fascists to liberate that oil.

Attempted coup in Venezuela by CIA, Big Oil, and various South American fascists.

No, the problem is very much that the government doesn't provide free college and healthcare. That's a HUGE problem.

There is no country in the world that needs communism more urgently than the USA.

The problem is charging anything for healthcare at the point of delivery *at all*, not how it gets itemised.

An organised socialist movement supported by mass union membership? Unlikely, to be honest.

Yep! And if his wealth was taxed properly it could pay for a whole lot of infrastructure and services that were actually useful.

Outside very small pockets of the internet he was not that widely loved.
