Separate example. Ignore everything else we've been talking about. I'm trying to illustrate where you stand on morality.

Would it be wrong to steal from the till?

I suspect you'd say yes, which means we have fundamental, irreconcilable differences in how we view the entire concept of morality. Which then, relating back to piracy, means we will never see eye to eye because we disagree about the most fundamental aspects of the argument.

It's an irrelevant example in this conversation because you're reversing the roles.

It's not related to piracy at all, it's just an illustration of your personal views. There are no roles. It's not an analogy.

Then in this case I would tell you that taking the money from the till also makes you a thief because you're getting an unverified amount of money on which you didn't pay taxes and there are legal means to get the money you're owed.

Laws would agree with me and if you want to live in society then I'm sorry to tell you that it's something we can't do without.

Like I thought, we just have entirely different worldviews at an extremely fundamental level. There's no seeing eye to eye because we're approaching it differently.
