      It’s not even the captains, it’s the investment companies that own the boat.

      Perhaps we need a maoist uprising against the boatlords.

        We need to RETVRN to voyaging. Seafaring has been ruined by capitalist speculation, it was way better when some half mad alcoholic recruited you from a pub to go cross the Cape of Good Hope on the slim chance you’d end up back in Liverpool with a boatload of silk and tea.

            Well at least I’m no longer tied to my feudal obligations, and if I don’t die I’ll get enough money to spend like 2 years tavern-hopping in London!

    We’re gonna accelerate the contradictions so much, you may even get tired of accelerating. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too many contradictions. We can’t take it anymore. Mr. President, it’s too much.’

    If you all sail through at the same time, they can’t get all of you

    Everyone attempts to rush the strait, getting bottlenecked and congested and picked off like flies

      haven’t seen anybody mention this but if a shitload of ships get wrecked in the strait of hormuz, well, they’re no mines but all that wreckage doesn’t exactly improve how navigable it will be

          yeah but even that whole width isn’t necessarily usable as it is, I read something like the shipping lanes are like 2 miles wide in either direction? seems like that’d be for a reason idk

      Lotsa people don’t know this… But if you pretend a chokepoint isn’t a chokepoint then no chokepoint is there. Simple. No problems. Also - woke bad.
