While critics decry the United States' current brand of military and economic imperialism as dangerously unprecedented, great powers have been throwing their weight around like schoolyard bullies since St. Augustine's time.
This playful but pointed cartoon shows that while
Uncle Sam has been an especially bad apple of late, he's following a
pattern of bad behavior which goes back decades. [Google]
Pirates & Emperors (or, Size does Matters) has been written and directed by Eric Henry, who also wrote, with Jim Coursey, the song, performed by Amy X Neuburg. The visual style spoofs the Schoolhouse Rock! series of educational films, while the content is inspired by the writings of Noam Chomsky.
Eric Henry is one half of the directing duo Sid & Eric who brought us Spokes on the Wheel of Torment.

You just create more noise. That's bad writing.
