Its also why the Western genre was forcefully killed off and basically nothing is ever made in the genre, except for "subversions" and "deconstructions" about it ending and talking about how evil the white outlaws were.
Because the Wild West, for whatever true reality it was, was filled to the brim with examples that showed that Indians, and Mexicans, were brutal subhuman savages worse than any White man could ever hope to be. The moment they had the upperhand or could fight back, they would massacre and destroy everything they saw.
The fact that scalping as a concept exists, and is something they regularly did to people alive, disproves any "peaceful" notion of them.
As one example, a movie called Hostiles is one of those deconstruction Westerns. It starts out showing the brutality of the Indians, and from then on, it's a never ending parade of "Indians good and oppressed" and "White man bad". It wasn't even subtle. Every single White character, other than Christian Bale and Rosamund Pike (the two main characters), range from bad to comically evil. It was made by people who hate Westerns, hate the West, and hate White people.
I was so thoroughly disgusted I've never entertained another newer Western made by Hollywood.
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.
