History is being whitewash. Future generations will not learn of these gentleman and their complicity in the 6 million Jew holocaust.

>>538507851
honestly I never really got why they taught it to us in the first place.
>>
>>538507851
sounds like some country hick story.. here in the big wealthy suburbs we look down on rural folks as simple and plain.

>>538507851
What other national myths come from the American spirit?
>>
The reason thry teach the holocaust is simple. Never again. That means once you have worthless parasitic shitskin mudslimes naturalized, you are never getting rid of them. Because no way are you denaturalizing them.

American folk campfire stories in a day before radio, TV, and internet. American myths, made by Americans. It's a part of culture, history and tradition and once it's gone, it's gone.
>>
>>538508136
>national myth
what is the myth? that's what I meant, I never got why it was supposed to be interesting.
>>
>>538508166
Yes I heard many campfire stories and was a Boy Scout. Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox must have a point but I can't think of what it was. Can you? What is remarkable about this story?
>>
>>538508166
why dont you just be a parent and pass it on yourself
why is the american spirit "someone else will do it"
revolution?
>someone else will do it
religion?
>guy in the sky will do it
teaching?
>someone else will do it
community improvement?
>someone else will do it
etc.
>>
>>538507949
Because Americans needed their own mythology. And native American mythology is just terrifying monsters like NOT-DEER and windigo
>>
>>538508294
ok great we have some. So what is the myth of these two? What's the story about? Why is it interesting? You have an American flag and purport to care about us having myths. I don't dispute that I am asking why this one when none of us can remember what it's supposed to be about.

A man trying to chop down trees faster than a machine. A man with soul versus a machine without. The point was to entertain, pass time, and forget about planting 40 acres the next day for a few.

>>538507851
You know, I was thinking the other day about left niggers and their desire for free college.
Why not cut out all the fucking slavery, holocaust, fag shit, and focus solely on knowledge?
I bet if we did that we could reformat learning in general and make the last two years of highschool into a BA/BS program.
Instead faggots want to spend time talking about niggers and fingering an older man's butthole.
>>
>>538508261
Well shit, nigger, if parents were actually doing what's right I wouldn't be here bitching about it.
>>
>>538507851
The what?? Never even heard of it
>>
>>538508136
The sasquatch.
Cowboys in general.
The idea of the devil as a man in black who wanders around
There was also that one with that guy who was really good with knives, I forget the name, sort of like Paul Bunyan except he was a real guy.
Johnny appleseed
The woman who sewed the first flag

Tooth fairy, easter bunny, santa clause, definitely not original to america but were clearly popularized by america.
>>
>>538508667
You're thinking of Jim Bowie, who was at the Alamo (another great American story).
>>
>>538508470
The Blue Ox. Babe was an ox, larger than average and blue in colour. During the Holocaust, his diet primarily consisted of unfortunate Jews thrown into his pen by the sadistic Nazi deathcamp guards.
>>
>>538507851
I've been thinking a bit about how folklore and pop culture pass out of living memory. Bunyan, Pecos Bill, etc. are fading like the western. The frontier and pastoral life are losing relevancy.

Same thing is happening even to "immortal" IPs. Who cares about Star Wars now, for example. Failure to pass on a legend to the next generation whittles away culture. Frank Baum's Oz for example was like the Harry Potter series of its time. All that remains of it in the public conscious now though is the 1939 film and Wicked. Aside from the original, the rest of the 39 Oz books are barely known of.
>>538508375
You're mixing him up with John Henry, the black guy who drove railroad spikes faster than a machine
>>
>>538508667
Sasquatch isn't a myth. I've seen two of them.
>>
>>538507949
whoever thought it needed to be formally taught anyway? a 20-page children's bedtime story book would suffice

Also:
Davey Crockett
Daniel Boone

Frontiersmanship and self-sufficiency were still taught as part of the American Way when I was young.
Even more so for boomers, which is why it's hard to believe how absolutely pozzed they ended up.

>>538514705
It didn’t work for them. So why continue it?

>>538507851
Paul Bunyan represents the settlers that first conquered the relentless marshes, forests, predators, nature basically, of the shield to lay the foundations for future generations.
Babe represents the nobility of the tamed animals used by Paul in this act.
These men lived short, hard lives, working themselves to death for their blood.
The story is mythos, they are represented as giants, larger than life, to honour these men and their memory.
>tldr: its a white person thing

What didn't work for whom?

>>538507851
What about John Henry the steel driving nigger

It's crazy, they want to re-cast the westward expansion as a tragedy of some sort. Make movies about these dirty, brown-toothed spiteful little men who spread west like a disease.
In reality, they were tough men working to carve a livable nation out of raw nature. Entrepreneurs, explorers, trappers, hunters, cattle men, builders, farmers, etc. They made it possible for women and children to follow. Many of them died horribly after living hard lives.
But we're supposed to mourn the injuns who were out here burning one another alive, cutting off lips and noses, and genociding one another over petty disputes.
