wait can you expand on that “jewish pirates block the slave trade” thing please????? omg
YES, so i recently wrote a paper about jewish pirates and merchants for a thesis and used a shit ton of archive information and secondary sources (which are detailed below).
As we know, Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492. Some remained behind, known as conversos, who managed to hide their Judaism and remain behind. Others went into Calvinist Holland, but a majority of them went to Brazil, which was Portuguese-owned. The Jews there were known as marranos (pigs), but they were the first group to begin harvesting and collecting sugar by themselves. The marranos grew to have nearly 200 sugar plantations that they worked themselves— they traded with the Dutch, primarily. Sugar was hella expensive and Spain was hella jealous.Once the Iberian peninsula split (~1640s), Spain came in and took the land for themselves, either massacring or otherwise coercing the Jews to give up their Jewishness. They were kind of out of options, because Holland was engaged in war with Portugal and England was still not super friendly to the Jews, so they moved to the Caribbean.
Jews had been on Jamaica since about 1510, though they called themselves Portugals. They managed to get together a plea for England to get into Jamaica before Spain took it over, so Cromwell sent the English.
During the time in-between, Jews (Moses Cohen being the most famous Jewish pirate) roamed the seas with other “Brethren of the Coast”s. Because the Iberian diaspora had sent them all across the Old and New World, they had vast intelligence networks. Jewish merchants in Jamaica knew when ships in Spain were leaving, what they were carrying, and where they were going. Jewish pirates took revenge on the Spanish and, unlike the English, release the slaves from their bonds and either kept them on or took them to Haiti.
Jews are the best don’t let anyone fucking tell you otherwise.

Seeing how integrated the MCU superheroes are with the non-superhero world. And seeing how their comic book counterparts made so many questionable life choices. I just want magazines and news channels talking about their costume choices at length.
Give me Joan Rivers shrieking nasally at the camera, “I’m just saying, if you’re gonna wear that while rescuing me, I’d rather die by the hands of a supervillain, than be near that purple monstrosity”
Clint sharpening his arrows, muttering “maybe I won’t”
News channel reporters seriously discussing if Iron Man’s mini-skirt suit increases his crime fighting ability. “And now we have fashion expert, Edna Mode, in with us to talk about Captain America’s Nomad costume”
The Met Gala having a “superhero” theme, and half the celebrities coming in with elaborate capes (that make Edna put her head in her hands), and knee-high boots. (It was the first year the fancy gala was nicknamed “Stripper Bar on Superhero Night” in social media….it trended on Twitter)
Tony quietly buying off companies that produce action figures wearing his more unfortunate sartorial choices. (While he thinks his every suit is an impeccable work of Art and Engineering….even his shamelessness has limits)
Steve having to sign photos of him in his navel baring costume, and Clint gleefully signing his nude legs.
Natasha just looks at the idiotic soul who has the temerity to bring up her fishnet outfit.
Fashion police and Project Runway, diplomatically critiquing the costumes.
Also, designers and superhero aficionados copying the awful outfits, leading to an era of bad fashion choices.
Just……think about it.
We all have that one character we’re in too deep for.
