We all love to see the heroes look good and win, and we all love to see the villains lose. Even if the villain has more heroic qualities than the heroes. That is the case with John Wayne/Marion Morrison and the Indian Chief. “The Duke” always wins and either rides off into the sunset or saves Iwo Jima, while the main villains fighting “The Duke” however are and mean ‘nothing’ but savage opposition that has no validity whatsoever. Isn’t that a metaphor from all of modern history for the archetypal hero as all the John Wayne/”Duke” types and opposition to him? In fact, the “winners” have come to tell their biased stories without looking at the other side of things or the point of view of the “losers.” All of their logic says that “we’re supposed to win, and history is one-sided, that’s all.”
I’m here to logically and honestly present the “losing” side of the story, now: call them Moors, Indians, Negroes, “Deadwood Nat Loves”, “Black Barts”, natives, “The Enemies”, “The Bad Guys” or whatever the case may be.
The injustice and unfair nature of the heroes runs so deep that the realities of the villains are avoided at all costs until building a fantasy world of all the “heroes” always winning without losing. ever.
The concept of the heroic and infallible leader, and the villain always losing without virtue or consideration or without thinking about the villain’s point of view or even the villains’ genuine values is a sick and unfair bias in any situation in reality. It’s not just “winners” who should write the stories, real and genuinely factual history should include us all in an honest way, not just lean towards “heroes and game winners” who “rule the roost” in that mode that allows us to kill the savages. How is that genuinely heroic anyway? Kill instead of fighting fairly and then create a world for yourself by making anyone who disagrees with you seem fair in a disagreeing way?
Everyone loves a hero naturally. Everyone loves to win, naturally. When you have to cheat to win, is it worth it? Is it worth it if victory is based on a lie instead of the real, honest truth? Sure, we can start crying that “Birth of a Nation” was the greatest movie ever made, and John Wayne deserved a memorial at the airport for helping hide the realities and honest truths of what happened to the “villains” of that “hero-leaning” reality that screams “we’re the winners and you can’t do anything about it.”
Well I’m a “villain” I confess, I’m not one of those “sweet white good looking heroes” who wins “everything” or supports the “hero” establishment, I’ve always been “type B” and “Brand X” not “type A” and the establishment. Laugh at me all you want, but I’m the tortoise who actually wins with complete honesty instead of the rabbit or hare who lies to himself and loses everything, trying to cheat and deceptively speed through the story of “The Tortoise and the Hare” every time. Now I say with pride that I am the “bad boy of the Moorish Indian chief” that the “John Waynes” fight against.
