it looks like a cock, it is a cock

i'm sorry, we are humans we see what we see, we do some pattern matching and that's how it goes

I don't have to extract a cell sample and do a PCR to prove it's a cock

b-broad flat nails

Dosh.

You came from nothing and you only know how to work ships, your pay in the Navy was less than 1/10 of when you were a pirate. People take the gamble that they'll be the 10% that survive piracy.

Also a lot of pirates were privateers under contract with governments.

A lot of people will say money.

But I like to think it also had to do with the fact that talented commoners were prevented from advancing in there society.
Besides the very brief revolutionary period, you had to be a noble to climb the ranks in the military.

If you are a talented ambitious member of the third estate, do you join the navy and spend the rest of your life as a deckhand for some incompetence noble or do you and your friends scrounge up enough money to buy a small vessel and go pirating?

many pirates brought back sex slaves

baby boomers. as in a disproportionate amount of the population at the same was teenagers coming of age.

but the stereotype of everyone being a grass smoking hippy is the 60s was a bit of a meme. most people were boring squares with regular jobs who just liked listening to the Beatles and the rolling Stones.

That's about how long it takes for a few crops of people to go through communist indoctrination at universities, which began in the early 1960s and started taking effect towards the end of that decade.

Honestly, it's a bunch of things

The counter culture that grew out of anti-war protests that chose to defy the will of their conservative parents

The death of religion, at least in public life in many countries.

Anti-socialist backlash due to NATO propoganda made the old labour left unfashionable, to be replaced by what would become the Greens and liberal progressives.

The USSR may have played a role in pushing Cultural Marxism in western academia, it was within its power and honestly wouldn't be very hard.

"Modern Art" is a vague term which the layman will give one definition, and the obsessive art historian another.

It used to be necessary for having a powerful empire, by that time the technology and alternative labor forces made it unnecessary. It was still profitable but the moral aspect was no longer outweighed by the profit for many people.

the industrial revolution shifted the economy from the fields to the cities and increased the availability of cheap consumer goods
so in one hand, you don't need that much labor on the fields (which was the main reason to have slaves) and in the other the need to have people who can buy your shit increases, but since slaves have no salaries or even property it's more difficult

>Looking at history nothing is ever done solely for 'moral' reasons

You don't think people could possibly have moral objections to owning human beings?

>If Charles had not been forced to fight the Turks could he have stopped the Reformation?

Probably not.

>If the Reformation had never started could he have defeated the Ottomans?

Probably not.

We're dealing with a still largely feudal monarchy, where the absent king (and Charles spent almost all of his rule in what's now Austria) has to rely on a bunch of people he's probably only met once in his life to carry out his policies, which they may or may not want to do. It's relatively easy to amass troops for a campaign, that's something that the state's "bureaucracy" knows how to do. Actually implement a radical religious change? Occupy and dismember a state whose values are radically opposed to yours even if you can beat them in battle? Much, much harder. Directing changes to the world like some grand strategy game wasn't how real life worked.

Blame the Eternal Frank

Charles V couldn't chew his food properly due to his deformed jaw, so he often had digestion issues. I learned to chew my food more thoroughly because of him and how he's my favorite monarch.
