The concept of the pirate life is one that has fascinated children and adults alike for generations. It's the idea of pure unadulterated freedom, living free from the shackles of responsibility, regulation, and reality. On a lone vessel dancing along the waves of a vast ocean, the world is truly your oyster, and the possibilities are endless! This swashbuckling fantasy has been fueled time and time again by classics like Pirates of the Caribbean in the early 2000s, Treasure Island in the late 1800s, and A General History of the Pyrates in the early 1700s. So considering how impactful the pirate genre has been on the greater populace, it might come as a shock to learn that our understanding of real pirate history is relatively meager. That last listed classic, A General History of the Pyrates by Captain Charles Johnson, remains one of our most primary sources for pirate history during the Golden Age, a novel which we know to have exaggerated and stretched the truth for sensational effect. While unfortunate, it does make sense that accurate recordings of the true history of piracy are scarce given the criminal and elusive nature of pirates themselves. One isn't really an efficient criminal by making their personal information as known as possible. Combine that with the fact that most pirates came from poverty and low social status, and the fact that many primary court documents have been lost to time, it makes sense that this history can be hard to accurately map and result in much speculation. In this video, much speculation must be made to connect the dots we have about Stede Bonnet's life for example. Naturally, this can lead to inaccurate assumptions, so with that in mind I tried my best to choose language carefully when telling this story. Take note of the numerous sentences initiated with, "It's believed" for some insight into when speculations are made.
The illusiveness of pirate history feeds into the fantasy. After all, these were criminals, and if we could go back in time and ask them, we'd find many of them wouldn't choose this way of life if given the choice. The story of piracy is the story of class struggle, with rare exceptions like Bonnet aside, the lowest rungs of society were the ones who populated the pirate ranks. Poor sailors who lost their livelihood, impressment victims seeking freedom, privateers losing their state-backed support, and those with nowhere to turn but the sea were the ones who became pirates. It's a position born out of struggle and poverty, the same struggle that can be seen with the Somali pirates in the modern day. In essence, they are no different than the glorified pirates of the Caribbean: disadvantaged victims of society merely doing what they can to survive.

Aticula: „hold my beer“
“…in some elections…”
I once read about two entire regiments *of the French Army, natch) that got into a duel. Each regiment agreed to put up a limited number of duelists. One regiment's first man would fight until he was disabled, to be replaced by the net guy in line, and so on until one side ran out of duelists. Unfortunately, one of the duelists happened to be the best swordsman of his time, on a par with d'Artagnan or maybe Anakin Skywalker. He handily put away his first opponent, and then the next, and the next, and so on until he had taken down most of the other side's duelists, the survivors looked in desperate need of a toilet, and our d'Artagnan in a frenzy of bloodlust was yelling "Is there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?" For some reason the losing side hastily conceded defeat.
History of the Russian Baltic Fleet, written by whom? British?! Half of this is lies and exaggeration. I can also come up with many tales about any country. The only thing the West has succeeded in is lying with an honest face.
........... Didn't know about the plushie till now....... Suuuuuuuuper disappointed. Release a V2 my man.
Small errors but not noticeable enough to make it false. Grade A-
I was drinking a pineapple juice from dole while watching this loool
19:11 west dickens be like
please post a new video 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The space race didn't end at the moon as the Americans like to say. The Soviets did manage to get color photos and a sound recordings from the surface of Venus. Missions for which the materials used are still a mystery today.
So Bonnet actually paid his workers. Activision, you might wanna look into this concept.
The Japanese invasion of Denmark was a little known conflict, but what can I say, they really wanted those danish.
As an engineer I feel called out 😂
1:07 Nah, Pirelli's Miracle Elixir has proven to be much more effective
Why did you insult Italians I am Italian and me angry
“Mammal fisting adversary” is a line that deserved more love 💀💀
why is this guy not at a million subs yett
Isnt cayenne whiskey still a thing
you're voice acting is so so so good. subbed within 1st min.
4:17 so hypothetically this guy powerscales above a 1-special gradecursed spirit
Nawww not the photo from Ennead-
4:12 who the fuck man’s that map in the Balkans
You can't be called a historian. You stupidly started telling some non-existent bullshit about Russian sailors. Tell me that you are ready to talk about Stalingrad, using the French movie "Stalingrad: Enemy at the Gates" as a real source and proof.
11:24 it’s a warning of even worse things to come
0:40 ifunny🫵
Brazillian here. The paper at 10:16 says "sign here to agree that you are now utterly f*cked. Sign here also if you are a big stupid idiot who is also ugly and stupid jaja". The last word is possibly a "haha" in Spanish, which we don't speak in Brazil, but we'll let that pass because the video is so awesome.
Best thing I’ve watched since a Sam o nella academy video
I'd like to think this guy only makes videos about subjects where he can put the appropriate headwear on the bluejay.
The accentssss the accents are killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines had a great scene where they did the balloon-blunderbuss duel.
They're now losing their black sea fleet to a country with no navy
Nice bird
I love your charter bird he's funny and cute :)
When do you plan to upload a new video
Wait a german wanting world peace?
GREAT
1:07 you mean other than the one that mutated a bird and helped it talk?
15:55 brings a whole meaning to reading the room
Ahhhh "Bayek" I see what you did there
I love you blue Jay's channel
Bonnet seems decently well known by now though
Ok yeah nuking the moon is just retarded, but radiation was really listed as a reason for not doing it?😅 yeah a tiny nukes radiation would definitely make any potential landing sites too irradiated. Its not like the moons been exposed to an unshielded fusion reactor for a few billion years
The sun exposes the moon to electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays, a nuclear bomb would create radioactive particles from the result of nuclear fission that would mix with the dust of the moon
The war that kicked russia out of Europe and into Asia dun dun dun
with that kind of life now I know why many people were migrants.
The suez canal deal reminds me of a news broadcast from the early 70s when a whale carcass washed up on a beach and to remove the dudes in charge decided to use like 5 million tons of TNT. Spoiler alert it didnt work and just showered the beach and surrounding town with rotten whale meat snd juices
Nobel created dynamite because miners of the time were using black powder and some were using nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin is an amazing high explosive and can move a shit load more material, especially when compared to black powder which doesnt actually explode. High explosives go kaboom faster than the speed of sound at sea level while stuff like black powder deflagrates slower than sound. But nitro has draw back in that if you look at it wrong it blows up, if you sneeze near it, bump it etc ... it goes bang and while making it if the temperature of the acids you have to.mix exceed x temperature you get a runaway reaction and kaboom. Nobel figured out mixing nitroglycerin with diatomaceous clay stabilized the compound makingnits use "safe". And now yeah it didnt take long for the guvments of the time to go " hey i can kill people whole sale with this stuff" and while nobel wasnt a war monger he took their money and lot's of it
As a St. Louis citizen, I can vouch the roads are still just as good as it once was
