why do anglos valorise criminals?
>Robin Hood
>Highwaymen
>Pirates
>Cowboys
The French have Roland and Joan of Arc, the russians have Bogatyr, the Spanish have el Cid while the anglos have bandits and pirates.
King arthur doesn't count, he is a welsh-norman creation.

At least Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. What the fuck did Tartar "heroes" do?
>>
Why do Tartars valorise criminals?
>Genghis Khan
>Atilla
>Timur
>Nogai slave raiders
The English have Richard, the Japanese have Oda Nobunaga, the Turks have Osman.

Robin Hood was not a criminal, though
The King left to go on a Crusade
An illegitimate king took over the throne

Robin Hood was a knight fighting the illegitimate king
He attacked tax collectors, not rich people. He did so because he intended to return the taxes back to the people, as they should not pay taxes to an illegitimate government

Cowboys are herders of cows.

Robin Hood was an Anglo-Saxon rebelling against Norman overlords. It's not that hard to figure out why Anglo-Saxons idolized him.
Too bad he wasn't real lol
>>
Bogatyrs were champions of the community, defending people, less focused on law-breaking.
>>
>>18003636
Cowboys aren't criminals, they're literally just workers.
Do you think being a carpenter or a smith is also a crime? The fuck

cowboys were drunk violent gunslingers lol they weren't what 1950s hollywood depicts them as
>>18003664

in the original ballads he was a criminal who killed anyone who crossed him

El cid was a mercenary that was as happy to fight for the mahometans as he was for the iberians

Cowboys are Irish. Billy the Kid was literally an Irish Catholic.

Most cowboys were anglos
why do irish people love steaing anglo history?

>>18005287
Cowboys were fucking trail herders you fool. Gunslingers aren't cowboys.
>>
>>18005294
>>18005342
Cowhands were every flavor of white, Mexican (cowboy lingo derives from Spanish), black (who did rural labor in the south?) and Cajun (Alan Lomax said “yippie ky oh” comes from a Cajun folk song.
>>
>>18005287
chink, I hate to tell you this but a Cowboy, as in someone who herds cows and other livestock, is not a criminal. A cattle rustler would be one who steals livestock. An outlaw is someone who commits crime and runs from the law. Words have meanings despite your inability to grasp them, you stupid faggot rice eating bugman
>>
Robin Hood was heroic rebel fighting against a tyrannical official.

To my knowledge, nobody valorizes highwaymen. They are scum of the earth.

Pirates were scum until they took a royal charter and became privateers raiding England's enemies. Then they were heroes.

Cowboys are not even a type of outlaw what the fuck?
>>
>>18005287
>>cowboys were drunk violent gunslingers lol they weren't what 1950s hollywood depicts them as
"Violent gunslinger" is literally a Hollywood invention. Cowboys are hired hands on a farm or ranch that herd cattle. Most of them wouldn't even carry more than a long gun for hunting or deterring rustlers.

You are appallingly ignorant.
>>
>>18003645
>Nogai slave raiders
fuck them. they raided my hometown after a particularly destructive civil war. all prisoners were saved, though, because the authorities gave the task of leading the detachment sent after them to a known highwayman (claim never successfully proven) who has already demonstrated his abilities in the aforementioned war (btw fighting against the authorities in question). guy apparently also knew some shortcuts across the mountains and knew a lot about tatars (probably traded stolen horses with them), and so fucked them up when they did not expect it. the tatars got away with eleven prisoners only but even those were ransomed soon, while the tatars were still in the Yedisan region. the guy who led the rescue effort was ennobled for the feat (he was born a serf), and it is possible that the current mayor of our capital city is his descendant (same rare family name anyway).
yeah, 1717 was a crazy year.

Im tired of the mongols claiming atilla the hun. nobody knows where the huns actually came from. but they settled in Hungary, so thats who gets to claim Attila in my book

sir frances drake is the only pirate the english like to my knowledge

>>18003754
Robin Hood is real person as Jack the Rippers
>>
>>18003636
>>Pirates
Weren't criminals anymore than the Navy were. They were contracted by the government to disrupt enemy commercial maritime trade and supply lines, whatever happened to the cargo onboard was not the governments problem, so pirates just took it upon themselves to loot the ships because it would've been lost to the sea anyways.
>>Cowboys
Frontier justice was the only form of justice on the American Frontier. Cowboys weren't necessarily criminals either.

In the Anglosphere we have the self-awareness and honesty to admit that we love seeing /ourguy/ fuck over anyone we dislike

That's exactly their 1950s Hollywood depiction
>>
>>18003636
>Robin Hood
Not a criminal, he was a noble who had his lands unjustly stolen, and only fights to return the rightful King Richard to the throne.
>Pirates
Just as many were French and Spanish
>Cowboys
Not criminals, and cowboys were Latinx not anglo.
Most countries have outlaw folk heroes, I don't see what's special here other than you only knowing anglo popular culture because it's so globally dominant, while French and Russian aren't.
>>
robin hood isnt real
>>
Scanning through the canon of authentic cowboy ballads and it’s all “fucking cows, food sucks, sleeping on the cold hard ground, boss is mean, when do we get paid?” Praising great horses and riders, laughing at dudes and greenhorns, tall tales and ghost stories, recounting a drunken blowout in town. The outlaw ballads they sang were no different than the way we watch gangster movies, a vicarious escape from mundane lives. The crossover between cowhands and bad men was minuscule—a gang in the OK Corral shootout called “The Cowboys”, trail drover Sam Bass turning train robber, but dime novels and Hollywood turned working men into cold eyed desperados.

>cowboys were Latinx not anglo
Really? 100% of workers who herded cattle were all LatinX? Got a census to prove your wild claim?
>>
>>18007577
It's not "they were all Hispanic" so much as "Hispanics were doing it before Anglos and taught them a lot about cattle drives"
there's a reason a cowboy hat looks like a sombrero
>>
>>18006729
Romans/Greek are Latinx
>>
>>18007577
they were anglo but adopted elements of latino culture from their latina gfs

"Latinx" isnt a thing. Its Hispanic or Latino
>>
>>18006080
Dick Turpin and Claude Duval are pretty valorized.
>>
>>18007594
Post Civil War Texas cowboys got their gear and the Spanish terminology for it from Tejanos. “Buckaroo” is an Anglo adoption of “vaquero”. Of course there had always been cattle herding in the U.S. but the conditions and demographics in the Southwest created the trail drive era cowboy.
>>
>>18007664
okay latinx
>>
>>18007754
only white guilt cucks use this made up term. actual people from latin america dont even like it
