Last time I looked his voyage was to track the passage of Venus wasn't it?

I blocked the scumbag promoting it.
Feel free to do the same, if you choose.
Or can you only see imperialism when someone else is doing it?
I know what we do in the name of the USA. Do you?
Here's something for you.

He wasn't looking for a spot to chill.
He wasn't looking for a pretty view.
He was looking for something to use or be used. That's how imperial finance works.
What he was actually doing is charting the transit of Venus.
Why don't you know this?
Maybe a trip to Wikipedia is in order
Why not direct your mindless hatred towards those that are helping to destroy civilization today, rather than ancient map makers?
We have present day Nazis taking over and dismantling America.
This argument may as well be over the placement of deck chairs on the Titanic.

And I am British. Sooo.. Donald Trump that's all on you sweetheart.
1. Not defending a brit because he is a brit. Cared about his crew
2. OP is/are combat veterans. Sweetheart is bad, but calling some a douchebag is OK?
3. Everytime a post like yours is made, a teenager will roll their eyes and takes a step closer to the right wing & fascism
When I call someone sweetheart it is the equivalent of "hold my beer" which as a veteran myself would be taken in that context.

Calling out a chauvinist or chauvinistic comment online is always a good call. It’s good learning experience 4 young people NOT 2 b one or start parroting such demeaning ideas too
Endeavour became a prison ship during the American Revolution and was scuttled by the British as the French approached. Resolution became a whaler and was abandoned to rot.
The American Indigenous ppl and the Mexicans. This country was only “great” for one skin color, and only one skin color.

So many Americans keen to shout about the British empire and how bad it was, despite having so many colonies of its own STILL.
The UK gave almost all of its independence

Who in the fuck allowed that to happen
I have questions.
Gonna be a real lit bonfire. Pun intended. The ghost of Sherman has entered the chat.
Have a nice day and chill.
Cook isn't really one of them. Wasn't involved in conquest, didn't hurt anyone - or give any orders to that effect. Mostly just drew maps & navigational charts.
He is a very easy target though.
Seriously, learn Cooks ACTUAL record. The same historian quoted in the initial article goes on to say he was on a peaceful exploratory mission & did nothing to harm anyone.
Don't lay the crimes of empire on the head of the least deserving.
By the way captain Cook helped with map making in what was originally French Canada.
With this Britain won and your
America was born.
So stuff that where you like.
Good,done it's job.
Check out the details on Wikipedia rather than Facebook. Don't support the Meta people.
Cook is much-maligned, but the reality is he was far from the rampant imperialist that most of his fellow captains were.
The legacy of empire is complex. Cook was by no means as bad as he's often portrayed. Though a lot of navy captains were much much worse
I understand that the collateral damage caused by the Europeans exploration of our planet has caused much grief. It has also brought us every innovation and convenience that you are currently enjoying.
I’m sure we borrowed that concept from the Brits.
(Yes the speeeling mistake is deliberate).
A Commander had the same substantive rank as a Lieutenant but while in charge the endeavour he would be referred to as 'Captain Cook' - post rank or not.
The vaguaries of the 18th/19th century military are not to be underestimated.
The rotten apple(USA) didn't fall so far from the tree(GB).
Or as we would say today, the oligarchs stage a coup d'état so they could steal everything.
The same way Nazi-USA is run even today.
Attitude corrected.✅️
Is that better ass hole?
Weird that Americans forget that...
Sons of liberty my arse.
Classic Americans!
Look it up , it makes for good reading.
some English guy looking for a place to eventually conquer.
