I've noticed this a lot, lately, when it comes to the Abo stuff.
Like, on the TV yesterday, and Abo "activist" was yelling, "Captain Cook killed my family!"
Well no. No he did not. He didn't directly kill anybody. Nor did he introduce disease which did so.
Did his voyages indirectly lead to atrocities against Aboriginals? Sure, that's definitely arguable, but blaming the one explorer for something which happened long after his death is... Very Current Year...
Absolutely wild that this is where we are at, now.
Well, they first died of alcohol poisoning about a century after captain cook died. But then he killed them again in the afterlife! He shouted "This is George country now" as he did it. They told me all about it in the Dreamtime.
Pretty much, yeh.

"How are you here?"
"... ... I got bettah?"

Most of the so called "atrocities" were collective punishment of a guerilla force.
You can't catch an Aboriginal Australian in their own territory, so what do you do if some of them start rapping and murdering settlers?
Especially because blacks attacked Whites first.
