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.
So, another Yasuke stunt?
Pretty much, yeh.

The revenant of Captain Cook rises once more to finish the task, brave of the abo to shout and prove himself to be among the living, haha
