In academic circles the last two decades, pirates have been romanticized in a variety of contexts—as in pirates being contrarian individualists, admirable anarchists, Marxist redistributionists, sexually ambiguous, cross-dressing, transgendered libertines, and Lotus-eater-like sensualists, rather than as murderous criminals. Who knows, maybe such esoteric theorizing has filtered down to the U.S. State Department.
Sure, VDH is confusing academia and hollywood, and splicing dishonesty with paranoid delusion to create his trademark variety of unhinged screed, but pointing that out is my job. Stop stealing my thunder, Isaac!
