Only from the aggressors point of view.
You get your nation’s technological foundations crippled or your financial institutions robbed, I’m betting which bureaucratic requisition form used to authorize it is inconsequential.
- nickff 3y agoPirates are not authorized by any bureaucracy, which makes them much more difficult to stamp out. Pirates are also known for being much more brutal and indiscriminate (hence the Jolly Roger used to advertise that fact). Privateers were not kind either, but they're somewhat comparable to an extension of a navy in its raids on merchant shipping.
