    Pirates and emperors

    The emperor imprisons thr pirate and berates him for thr violent chaos he was perpetuating against his empire . Calling him a pirate and a terrorist

    Thr pirate replies "you do the same things to your own people and foreigners. When I burn down a house you call it terrorism. When you do it. You call it thr cost of war.

    My actions are vilified because I’m a pirate. Your actions are excused because you’re an emperor

    … or something like that
