As I mentioned, I’d be inclined to wonder what you’re considering “apologism.” The fact that you didn’t address the points I made makes me think you fall into that camp of boiling an intentionally wide array of ideas, conversation, etc down to “apologism” to take up arms against instances you don’t like. I see discussion of those countries, and examples of things that are happening there, but not one time have I seen people celebrating violence or excusing it on either hexbear or .ml.
I wonder how much money gets spent on all this vs how much it would cost to just not suck major ass. Neither approach is going to eliminate piracy, but at least trying to attract more flies with honey wouldn’t send more people to the black sails purely out of spite lol
