Happy Killing of Captain Cook Day!

[Cliffy]

On February 14, 1779 Captain James Cook of the british royal navy was killed by natives in Kealakekua Bay, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Cook was a true savage, who sailed across the world bringing murder, rape, disease, and colonialism to native peoples all over the Pacific. When he was killed, Cook was trying to kidnap the Hawaiian Aliʻi (tribal chief) Kalaniʻōpuʻu in response to an unknown person stealing a small boat. In the process, he had threatened to open fire on the islanders.

At this point, the Hawaiians decided they had enough of Cook’s bull****, threatened with mass murder and the kidnapping of one of their tribal leaders, the Hawaiian islanders finally gave this piece of **** what he deserved: a beatdown on the beach, and a knife to the chest. This put an end to a lifetime of predatory behavior and conquest of lands in the service to the british empire.

So how about instead of celebrating a boring consumerist holiday like Valentine’s Day, we celebrate something awesome, like the death of Captain Cook … - James Connolly

I'm all for it...........................IF he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. First I heard he was a reprobate.

If memory serves me right they also got Magellan in the Philippines...

The entire British royalty and all those who served in the chain of command of the Empire were barbaric reprobates. White supremacist douchbags and murdering scum the whole lot of them. And I'm a descendant of this herd of scoundrels. I'm not impressed.
And Blackhead... Bite Me you little twerp.

Hmmm long pig. Good barbeque with a side dish of poi.

 

[Danbones]

trump did not invent selective boarder control
it has a legal precedence - common sense since forever

of course, the US annexed hawaii in a similar manner, so it isn't just the Brits that spread democracy through dictatorship

I doubt Cook was good eating. The Brits had yet to adapt the habit of bathing.

 

[taxslave]

More altleft history.

 

[Cannuck]

I placed the flag at my house at half-staff today in honor of Cook.

 

[Cliffy]

Who thinks this should be an international holiday?

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I honestly don't give a fruck. He's dead. Long before my time. But if it means a day of work I will support it 100%.

Did they get around to it, eventually?

And yet it was okay for the Americans to annex the former sovereign state of Hawaii and turn it into an American state?

Sort of reminds you of the annexation of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, don't it?

England's Norman rulers annexed Ireland, and Scotland joined in a Union with England voluntarily because it was skint and wanted access to the burgeoning, wealth-creating English Empire.

Wales and England have never been apart politically. They've been together ever since both came into being.

As for Cook, he has rightly gone down in history as a British hero. He achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Whilst seeing action in the Seven Years' War (in which the British were protecting you lot from the dastardly French) he mapped and surveyed much of the Saint Lawrence River. In three voyages Cook sailed thousands of miles across largely uncharted areas of the globe. He mapped lands from New Zealand to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean in greater detail and on a scale not previously achieved. As he progressed on his voyages of discovery he surveyed and named features, and recorded islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. He displayed a combination of seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, physical courage and an ability to lead men in adverse conditions. A British hero.

That was a long time ago who cares?

History does tend to happen long ago (although, to us Brits, the 18th Century isn't that long ago).

It also tends to repeat. We never feckin' learn.

Who ever said that? The Hawaiians would like very much for the Yanks to go home.

Every British scum bag that brought death and destruction to the indigenous peoples of the world is a hero to you Blackhead. Britain is a cancerous growth on the azzhole of the world.
