People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

And I'm sure there was nothing going on there but well paying jobs for the local inhabitants. What a cool guy.

Oh yeah no, the dude was a slave owner and a piece of shit. Let's also not forget what a pirate literally is. He was not a good dude. But he was famous and was subjectively kinda a badass in a historically contextualized perspective.
