Imagine saying vile things about Somalians for weeks and then turning into an actual Somalian pirate (EDIT: a small fraction of Somalians). What a farce.




I feel like associating piracy with Somalians like you just did is also bordering on "saying vile things about Somalia", presumably only a very small fraction of Somalians are pirates.

Just food for thought.


I agree and point taken. But I also did not state or imply that most Somalians are pirates. I was just repeating the common racist memes I see on Twitter as a parody of them.

Venezuela participates in a small portion of the illegal drug trade. US government officials have stated that they want Venezuela’s oil reserves. This is a transparent excuse for an oil grab.

So? And what about my point that fishermen don't move at 100 knots in speedboats filled with plastic wrapped packages they start dumping as soon as they're spotted?

How does Venezuela have so much oil and yet their population suffers tremendously?

Let me guess that is also somehow the fault of USA/capitalism/colonialism?


You seem to have more proof of their alleged crimes than the government has offered anyone else, where did you get it?

I haven't seen a source on plastic wrapped packages. Can you point to where that might be?

What does this have to do with an oil tanker?
