@ZachWeinersmith Yes! the contrast between the actual piracy shown in Pirates of the Caribbean (once, near the beginning of the first film, when the Black Pearl crew are still the bad guys) and all the “it’s about freedom” rhetoric afterwards is really bizarre when you think about it.

@LucasWerkmeister @ZachWeinersmith They had the freedom: to get booty. That is: they were filibusters (Wait, that means "pirate"?)
