Things like Captain Cook, ANZAC Day, Anglicanism, the Monarchy etc only serve to keep you in a straitjacket. It forces you to say the right things and wear the right shoes to be accepted by blowing out your entire personality instead of being loved for you who are.

The left are the same, except in reverse. Instead of showing affinity for such symbols you must openly confess your objection to them at every opportunity. Again you must blow out your entire personality and wear a straitjacket.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Grow up Australia. Your ignorance is embarrassing.

James Cook was one of the greatest men who ever lived, anywhere and in any era. Everyone in Australia today is better off for the fact that his intellect, exploration, navigation skills and courage led to British settlement of Australia. We should celebrate his birthday every year; fly the one flag we have that really counts for anything at half mast on the anniversary of his death; and respond with scorn and ridicule to anyone and everyone who treats Cook’s legacy with disrespect, underestimation or wokeness.

Captain Cook deniers at Captain Cook University. Yet without Captain Cook there would be no university in North Queensland.
