Dont blame teachers for all of your life's problem, they're just working for their families.

I love the contrast of these characters, with the Captain being emotional, flashy and upbeat even when talking about torturing people to death while their crewmates watch, and clearly a man in love with his job, while the Quartermaster is monotone, matter-of-fact, and seems to have no love for the job, denying that he ever had a choice in becoming a pirate and referring to acts of torture as "punishment for contract violations". The "just-following-orders" bad guy.
@Taib-Atte
@Taib-Atte Год назад
Right but at 5:36 when the quartermaster talks about money he smiles and his eyes go wide (only time in the video) which makes me think he actually is there by choice because he loves seeing money. While the captain is a people-person, the quartermaster is a more reserved, pensive person. But at the end of the day they’re both pirates.

I think he isn't saying that he has had no choice in a bad way; he is saying he ALSO has the personality type that doesn't want to work for the empire. Him working for greedy monarchs and officers wouldn't fit his priorities either, so he's as natural a fit for the pirating life as the other social misfit pirates. His personality happens to be organized, logical, and monotone, but doesn't mean he doesn't fit the lifestyle! Especially with how much he likes the profit!

I think it’s interesting that both the Captain and the Quartermaster are very much romanticizing the pirate lifestyle.

Keep in mind that both are simply recruiting the listener. It’s interesting how the Captain and Quartermaster give different images of freedom

One interesting observation I've made is that at the end of each video, the recruit points to the other video, but in the captain video, he refers to the quartermaster as 'that guy', whereas in this video he refers to the captain as the captain, representing the symbolism that the captain holds and the ambiguous yet important role the quartermaster plays.

As mentioned before, "treasure" does not always mean "gold and jewels". While lovely to have and to pay the crew with, it can often be more helpful to seize a "customer's" food or tools or repair supplies; why pay for such things in port, which may be days or weeks away, when you can take them for free right now when you need them? In extreme cases, such as if your ship is badly damaged and perhaps one big storm away from not making it to a friendly port, and/or if the "customer" you've "serviced" has a particularly nice and able ship of their own, the crew may even vote to either abandon their old ship in favor of the new or appoint one of their own as captain of their new second ship, and thus a pirate fleet is born. In short, the rule is thus: On the high seas, you cannot fill bellies with gold, you cannot patch holes with jewels. So take what you need the most, be it bullion or boards, silver or salt pork, gemstones or gunpowder.

While many things are better, the advancements have never been shared this unequally in human history (many places are still living in the past of 100 years ago, and some are even worse), and we have still a lot of work to do, which needs fundamental change and cannot be done with just better technology.

Fun fact: The Pirate's Code or rather the Captain's or Ship's Code, was a legitimate form of contract, the most popular by far was Captain Henry Morgan's. In which crew was vastly compensated for pillaging, plundering, and even compensated for losing a limb or an eye. It's no wonder he was the richest man in the world.

The victims are treated as a passive resource to be harvested, like ore, livestock, or grain. Like mining, pirating can be dangerous work. Unlike mining, it doesn't actually produce anything of value - it just changes value's possession - and is actually destructive of value when you factor in the damage to target vessels and crew along with waste like the extra security that is needed to confront piracy.

Such businesses exist - they're called co-operatives. They're relatively uncommon because despite the obvious benefits to workers of such a setup, conventional corporations have better access to capital, a more consistent profit motive for expansion, often more competitive margins due to lower wages, and (usually) stabler leadership. Still, some do succeed, and the world would probably be a better place if they comprised mroe of the economy.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT “PIRATE PORTS”! 6:03 It should be noted that “Pirate-friendly ports” were a product of the same economy as... pirates. You’ll find good examples not in the Caribbean but in the poor, underdeveloped and *shallow* ports of North Africa, where legal trade was... unviable. Some ports were just doomed to being “pirate friendly” because of their geography. Such ports were frequented by Ottoman pirates and the pirates’ booty (which includes vital supplies that are much harder to buy legally) fed the ports. P.S. Do note that I’m just paraphrasing Turkish historian Emrah Safa Gürkan.

how Grey can do two different characters without really changing his voice at all, just the delivery, and still have them sound like two very different characters is... Well it's talent, really... True talent

This is really cool. This is also how anything works- kingdom, army, business, etc. You don't have an army without a quartermaster nor a business without a finance person. Logistics make things run.

Not only are they different from what we see in the movies, they often worked FOR the Empire and not against it. Britain was well known for issuing Letters of Marque that gave permission to people to be privateers. To their enemies, they were pirates. Sir Francis Drake was very famous pirate/privateer and war hero.

This is a whole new take on high seas piracy that I never actually considered, and it makes sense. You can't just gather a bunch of friends, go and plunder without issues, fight other ships willy nilly and get into sword fights without considering the cost-benefit ratio. Of course piracy would be more like a democratic enterprise than anything else. Contracts ease the transitions of power and payment for work which would have to happen one way or another. Anything else would cause infighting and a very failed pirate ship.

it also makes you think about the social contract of the world in which this makes sense. it’s a world where lots of treasure were being shipped around (worth pirating), and yet the average guy sees nothing but a pittance of it (so little hope that risking the law might be worth it).

Like in the video said, the captain is mostly there to entertain the crew, otherwise the crew will elect another captain, except in battle. So a good captain has probably a very enthusiastic character. A quartermaster to check the books, the rations etc. So there personalities in the video are very fitting for there job.

@@AlvarVraal Except, things always go wrong in battle. And, the captain needs to secure his position so that the wrongs of the battle don't get assigned to him. Therefore, the captain entertains and has to be charismatic and endlessly enthusiastic to keep the public opinion of the crew on his side.
