There's a US Political Party that endorses Piracy

[Deleted member 546149]

I just found this out. Apparently they believe Piracy should be legal and that pirates should not be call "pirates". The political party is called the US Pirate Party. They have not won any major elections however the party has over 30,000 members according to Wikipedia

Why wouldn't they want to be called pirates? Pirates are badass.

Well, I should rephrase. I meant that they want to change the meaning of "pirates" not as criminals, but as normal citizens. I'm voting for them in the next senate election!

I got new info, the party supposedly wants to rewrite copyright

I'm genuinely at a lack of words. I'm cracking up about the weird hypocrisy, "We don't believe we should be called pirates. We're the pirate party."

So what is it? Are you only allowed to call yourself and cohorts pirates, while those who are not are not allowed to use that word? lol

Yeah, some things they say are sorta strange. For example, they say why are we called pirates, when they are called the Pirate Party

Fun fact: Pirate parties hold four seats in the European Parliament.

Unless/until we implement ranked choice voting, anything but a vote for one of the two major parties is basically a throwaway.

Holy shit, I finally feel represented.

What is wrong with proportional voting like we have in Germany and Austria? it would be the most fair system.

Holy crap, I'm surprised The Big N hasn't sent their Ninteninjas to bring the whole operation down!

Maybe because Trump is no longer "officially" the Big Cheese of the World....

...? I fail to see how Trump has anything to do with Nintendo being super protective of their copyright...?

Ok, we must keep this thread alive till the 2022 senate election if we want piracy to be legal

that pirates should not be call "pirates". The political party is called the US Pirate Party

They should fix that part first, if they want anyone to take them serious.

Well, they said that in 2006, when the party was still quite new
