And what makes it even more comical is that the "Wild West" was filled to the brim with evil white guys doing awful shit. It was a lawless time and the draw of money/freedom/violence appealed to the worst of society. That's not even them making anything up.
Its just missing the point that the Indians were worse by a huge margin, and more than equally contributed to the cycle of violence that made both sides increasingly monstrous. Their brutality wasn't justified, they weren't "noble, proud warriors" defending themselves against invaders. They were Savages in every sense of the word and constantly provoked the responses that lead to their eventual near extinction.
This was always government propaganda because there were far too many people living peaceful lives without the government.
Here's a deep dive into the actual history of the wild west, specifically that violence and 'outlaws' were so exceptionally rare, that's why we remember them all by name. The way that these 'lawless' people left government behind and maintained a proper civilisation is genuinely remarkable. And that's why the entire period must be deconstructed by marxists.
A well known Anarchist argues that history is all a lie and that Anarchy totally worked and was wonderful guys?
I'd believe it was propaganda if anyone but Stefan Molyneux was trying to tell me about it, because he was a meme and a known grifting liar before 90% of the people here were paying attention.
Funny, he never mentioned anarchy, but yes factual information ceases to be relevant if it's presented by someone you don't like.
He never touched on Christianity either, the real reason why these people maintained "civilised" even as they left "civilisation." Feel free to ignore his presentation of history and continue to believe the wild west was "lawless" and dangerous because that's what some communists put in your school curriculum.
He didn't need to because I know who he was and that he has an angle to begin with. He has written numerous books on the topic and has been incredibly opinionated on that fact, which makes any presentation on examples of it working (even if not directly named) about as trustworthy as the communists telling me communism can work.
He was also a famous atheist back in the era when those were popular (which is why he got big to begin with), and considered "faith" a literal scourge on humanity and was one of the key figures of the movement. And I'll level with you, I think anyone who helped contribute to the rejection of God holds more than plenty responsibility for the current state of the world. Which means its more than "someone I don't like."
See, when you actually know who the people speaking are, instead of just believing them at their word because they say what you want to hear, you can recognize when they have extra motives behind their words.
