The Murder of James Cook

[Mole]

From the aboriginal perspective it was the right thing to murder a great man of the Western Enlightenment, Captain James Cook, a carrier of the phonetic alphabet which would replace the spoken culture of aboriginal people across the world.

The Western Enlightenment based on the phonetic alphabet spelt the world wide end of spoken cultures.

So with preternatural insight they murdered James Cook and assassinated his character, all in self defence.

Happy Killed Captain Cook Day!
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 bullshit. Realizing that he had been manipulating them throughout the course of his stay in Hawaii, witnessing the sexual depredations of Cook’s men, seeing how brutish and toxic European culture really was … and now being threatened with mass murder and the kidnapping of one of their tribal leaders, the Hawaiian islanders finally gave this piece of shit 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 … Happy Killed Captain Cook Day!​

Doesn't paint Cook as a great man of the enlightenment. Did you even read the article?

Not only did the illiterate natives murder James Cook. they have assassinated his character ever since. Although Cook only landed on Australia's shores briefly to repair his ship, the illiterate natives tell us he oppressed them in the Tanami desert in the middle of Australia. No lie is too big to tell in order to assassinate the character of James Cook.

The old Communist Party of Australia was one of the first to assassinate the character of Cook, in the interests, not of truth but in furthering the Communist Revolution.

James Cook was the world's greatest navigator. He and his friends were great men of the Western Enlightenment based on evidence and reason, and they created the modern world we live in.

Those who spread hatred of James Cook and the Western Enlightenment, hate us for what we are, and wish to kill us in terrorist attacks on our streets.

The consistency of your heavy distortions in almost everything you talk about here is a little concerning. I don't know what to say. I just hope you aren't serious about it all.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Both of you ought to read a history book or a Cook biography before commenting any further.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

I mean both of you seem to prefer pretty one-dimensional narratives. Mole advocating the idea that Cook was the intrepid, flawless explorer who represented everything great about the European enlightenment, Ducks the idea that Cook was a bloodthirsty brute with little regard for the lives of the native islanders he met. The reality is probably somewhere in between the two.

James Cook is more than a person of history, James Cook is an archetype of Western Civilisation. Those who hate Western Civilization hate the archetype of Western Civilization in James Cook, and viciously assassinate his character.

Poe's Law, they call it. What Mole presents in his posts is a bizarre convergence of intellectual myopia and gobbledygook, which makes it impossible to distinguish autism from parody or political extremism. Like in the case of Schrödinger's cat, we'll have to assume all three possibilities at once, rendering the reading of these posts as simultaneously sad, hilarious, and/or frightening.

One whole Continent free and prosperous is celebrating the Western Enlightenment. We shall sail the brave little ship, the Endeavour, carrying the Enlightenment, all the way around Oz (Australia), remembering the great man of the Enlightenment James Cook.

And The Endeavour shall pause at our Capital City called Darwin after another great man of the Enlightenment, Charles Darwin.

And indeed the circle shall be closed as James and Charles stand together.

The Western Enlightenment was carried to Oz (Australia) by the ascendant British Aristocracy.

Yes, for one hundred years before the settlement of Oz the aristocracy was ascendant over of course the Royal Sovereign.

And yes, it was one hundred years of peace.

And so we inherited the manners and mores of the aristocracy including the peaceful resolution of conflict.

So like the aristocracy we love the outdoors, we cut down tall poppies (pretenders to the Royal Throne), and we are brutal in sport.

And following one hundred years of aristocratic peace we settled a whole Continent without killing anyone, and we gained our independence without killing anyone.

The British aristocracy was rich in hero's of the Western Enlightenment from Captain James Cook to Charles Darwin, and so many others there are too many to mention.

And it is well worth mentioning that Carl Jung was anti-Enlightenment.

So what about you? Are you for or against the Western Enlightenment? And why so?

 

[raskol]

The Western Enlightenment was carried to Oz (Australia) by the ascendant British Aristocracy.

You are conflating the impact of the early Scottish Enlightenment with that of Britain's pre-Enlightenment institutions, the aristocracy and the church, which furthered a dark legacy of a very different nature.

And yes, it was one hundred years of peace.

The British Empire's war machine didn't rest on its laurels. And the "peace" in Australia must be considered in relation to the subdued natives. The imposition of the "White Australia" policy lasted well into the 1970s, and aborigines were demoted to the status of fauna.

And so we inherited the manners and mores of the aristocracy including the peaceful resolution of conflict.

Lol. The aristocracy is a warrior class. Its manners and mores reflect blind power, might makes right, not transcendent values.

And following one hundred years of aristocratic peace we settled a whole Continent without killing anyone, and we gained our independence without killing anyone.

According to historical records, the British Empire led massacres and executions that more than anything resemble a centuries-long genocide. Your statement is a cruel joke.

And it is well worth mentioning that Carl Jung was anti-Enlightenment.

Jung emerged during the high modernism of the early 20th century, when the radical ideas of the Enlightenment were culturally normative. You must be confusing him with the likes of Julius Evola and Ernst Jünger, figureheads of the reactionary Counter-Enlightenment.

So what about you? Are you for or against the Western Enlightenment? And why so?

Western Enlightenment played a crucial role in breaking up the stronghold of aristocracies and church authority, which are the very things you praise in this thread. Your approach to the Enlightenment, deploying it as a vehicle for imperial power and world domination, are very much in line with the likes of Thomas Carlyle and Mencius Moldbug, the contemporary figureheads of the neoreactionary/Dark Enlightenment contingent.

Put differently, Jung was a man of his age, whereas you are looking for a return to an 18th century social order. Put next to one another, there is no question about who is the real reactionary.

I do like ideas and I choose some ideas to support. I oppose totalitarian ideas, I support evidence and reason, liberal democracy and human rights,

Mbti is not based on evidence and reason and it appeals to fantasists with high self esteem, and it serves the interests of business rather than human flourishing.

That's a rather lukewarm response considering the content at hand. However circuitous and indirect this concession is, I hope you understand how far you overreached in the post above.

What you call the "way out" is even less scientific, leaving no room for experimentation. It is a fixed course. Furthermore, the initiator of this "way out," Merve Emre, is a critical theorist following Adorno's "critique of Enlightenment" path. She is not an analytical thinker and her mode of thought is anathema to the evidence-based tradition to which you lay claim.
