Did you ever play "Cowboys & Indians" as a child?

I'm a white American and, as a kid, myself and other neighborhood children like to play "Cowboys & Indians". We lived in the country, right next to a forest, which was a GREAT place to grow up with lots of room to play, hunt, fish, swim, etc. Anyway, we actually had toy, Indian headdresses with feathers, toy tomahawks and bows and arrows with harmless, plastic arrows, except for getting poked in the eye , of course.

Each of us wanted to be an "Indian" and we had to take turns being the boring Cowboys. Why did we like being the Indians? Because they were cool! In our minds, they were like stealthy ninjas that could easily and quickly glide through the forest without making a sound. But when they wanted, they could whistle to one another like a bird. Also, they used bows and arrows, which were also cool. Then, their feathers and "war paint" was also really neat. For us, they were great warriors and we all wanted to be one of those, lol.

Times have changed.

Now, any non-native American person that would dress up as an "Indian" would be accused of "cultural appropriation" and branded a racist.

Liberalism destroys everything, including "Cowboys & Indians".

My brother and his Boy's Club used to play cowboys and indians, and as their sign said, "girls aren't aloud."

The problem was the mocking of Indians and their culture

You don't honor lots of people. Pot meet kettle.

You just picked sides and went at it.

We had rules for crying out loud!!
No head shots and you cant pump it up more than two strokes.
We usually played in the winter so you could wear thick clothing,mom always asked,how did you get holes in your new jacket!!!

......of course the two stroke rule was frequently broken.

Played lots of stuff as a kid. Before video games we actually played outside and used our imaginations. Cowboys and Indians as well as cops and robbers were often on the menu. I died many times from gunshot wounds as a kid.

Cowboys and indians, cops and robbers and of course army. We were always shooting each other. I died thousands of times.
Of course we also built tree houses and forts that needed to be attacked as well as defended. Then came vehicles made from scraps of wood and wheels from almost anything that rolled roller skates, baby carrages, wagons, whatever.

That is exactly what we did. In the winter it was snow forts and snowball fights.

We didnt have snow.
What we did have was China Berry trees,an invasive species that were grown in the suburbs as quick growing shade back in the early 70's.
We used the berries in slingshots. Total War!!!

We did cowboys and Indians as 7-8 year olds actually 4 of us and we had the plastic guns that shot the suction cup darts with cowboy hats. We also had 2 suction cup bow and arrow sets with headdresses. At first everybody wanted to be a cowboys with the guns, but as the skillset developed with the bows everybody wanted to be Indians.

Then it was mostly sports at about 10 plus years of age. We did have BB gun wars one summer I think I was 12, but one of us got shot with a BB that stuck just under the skin of his neck. Then all BB guns got confiscated for quite a while.

We popped the BB out like a zit if one penetrated.

Not to even mention your flailing attempt to tie Liberalism and Fascism, two polar opposites, together.

Perhaps I should have used the word "leftism" instead of "liberalism". Fascism is a left-wing ideology just like their ideological cousins, communism and socialism.

I did not post the above. Remove it.

Sorry. I am unable to remove it but I asked a moderator to do so. You're welcome.

Those were the good old days. Today, kids sit alone in a room for hours on end playing video games with strangers. It's not healthy.

Clearly you're as untutored about what fascism is as you are about what Liberalism is.

Fascism is about government control over the economy and every facet of society, just like the modern left is about. Fascism is about worship of government and that is exactly what the modern left is about. NOTHING fascism endorses mirrors ideology of the modern right.

Actually I already noted you don't understand your own terms. You did too. No need to reconfirm what we both know.

The truth hurts. You support fascism, you're just too dishonest to admit it.
