[pp.int.general] Cooperation with NGOs

[Antonio Garcia]

Zbigniev,

Maybe you should start really sorting out WHICH ideas are REALLY the pirate ones, and which, however reasonable or even not... are NOT.

Fucking own Statutes, Rules of Procedure, and any previous agreement without due process... can NEVER be Pirate.

Deciding that whatever you want, or whatever majority wants, at any time, is what has to be... is not very piratey.

Direct democracy... may be pirate... if the majority behaves intelligently, otherwise it is what we have NOW... mob rule.

It is very hard to UNDO stupid errors... if you have unorganized yourself to the point that you commit 5 new ones before you solve any at all.


And looking at the situation and deciding to be bastardly pragmatic (yes, I mean you, the few... how did @Thomas1G call them recently, ah, yeah, "profis") is sadly NO PIRATE SOLUTION.

Pirates is just an IDIOCRACY run by a few ruthless bastards, helped by a lot of ignorant idiots.


I would have forked it... if only I had found enough people worth the try.


Antonio.
