Do you honestly think that the capitalist system just evolved? That consumption is just a instinctual tendency? These traits had to have been modeled after something and that something is us...pirates. That's right. "aarh matey", "walk the plank", hook-having, curly mustache wearing pirates. We were known to take what we wanted, when we wanted it, from whoever had it, just like you guys do now. Everyone on the ocean knew us and feared us. We ruled the largest part of the world, the high seas.
