Sorry, just sharing the truth here. The sooner you accept it the better.
Everyone else: follows some kind of code of ethics and loyalties
Cowboys: Travel on their own needing nobody else. Have a strong moral foundation of right and wrong but ultimately make their own decisions which makes them enlightened and freethinkers.
Knights and Samurais: wears shitty armor that does nothing,
Cowboys: know that armor isn't gonna stop guns anyway so they go in unprotected which keeps their survival instincts at 100% all the time. even better, when they want they can improvise armor that works
Everybody else: the oppressive wing of an outdated society that reinforces their backwards morality
Cowboys: all civil war veterans that gave up any hopes of a normal domestic life in order to become ultimate soldiers and abolish slavery (progressive)
Everybody else except pirates: rides horses
Cowboys: also rides horses but with a lot more style
Everybody else: uses outdated weapons like swords out of some misplaced sense of honor and discipline
Cowboys: practical and smart. they just shoot things.
Everybody else: do not carry around physical metaphors for their emotional baggage full of christian symbolism and machine guns
Cowboys: do carry around physical metaphors for their emotional baggage full of christian symbolism and machine guns
knights and samurai: have a code of honor that prevents them from gambling
pirates and ninjas: bad at gambling, which is why they have to resort to stealing things (can't earn it fairly)
cowboys: no moral qualms against gambling (they are taking the money from bad people, ends justify the means) and have the skill to do it
When an unsavory person (like a pirate or ninja) loses fair and square and tries to cheat their way out of it, the cowboy can slap the shit out of them faster than they even realize
(in this video a cowboy even does it to another cowboy, meaning that cowboys are even more powerful than cowboys)
Pirates, Knights, Ninjas, and Samurais (kind of): Quentin Tarantino has never cosplayed as one
Cowboys: Tarantino cosplays as them all the time and makes awesome movies to show the world how great they are
bonus: cowboys have hats that do not cover their faces UNLIKE samurais, knights, and ninjas. they're faces aren't covered so the movie doesn't need an excuse for the mask/helmet to come off so the actor can emote, lol. pirates also have hats, but cowboy's are better.
in conclusion cowboys are the best and the reason the U.S. has a 100% winrate in wars against Japan (Ninjas and samurai's) and Britain (pirates and knights). And BEFORE you get on my case for being jingoistic and Amero-centric, Cowboys even gave America a slice of humble pie in war (civil war) so even they're not safe from the awesomeness of cowboys.
