Seems pretty chaotic neutral to me and not straight up evil. That and they have a code and a sense of honor(however rugged), they're not like those cartels like MS 13 and thugs and gangs.

@@BringDHouseDown Because that’s an outright lie. They rob and steal from innocent hard working folks ALL the time. You make it sound like they only rob each other and murder each other, that’s complete bs and you know it. There’s no honor among thieves.

[@BringDHouseDown]

@@dontask6863 They do business for willing costumers(edit: this doesn't mean it is solely with willing costumers, stating a fact does not negate all other possibilities that are not mutually exclusive, the fact I have to explain this to people who act like they know better than me when they can't even use their heads and jump to conclusions is ridiculous), mostly with products that are banned, they go after innocent people if there's a situation of disrespect or going back on their own words(again not the only scenario, the other would be refusing protection) overkill? yes, but why make a deal you can't follow through with? their competitors are other mafias and the uneducated and uncivilized gangs. Let me ask you, when was the last time you were on the receiving end of a mafia's methods for you to know for certain that they are exclusively evil(the whole point of my argument was about where they fall on the 'evil meter' if evil is the right word to describe them) and go after innocent people. Edit: there's chaotic elements in society, and then there's straight up evil with worship and blood rituals, death cults and initiations that involve ending a random person or r-word them, and other crazy stuff that cartels are involved in. This was my whole point.

[@iamtherealrenedescartes]

@@BringDHouseDown I'm pretty sure there is a video of a streamer; who out on the streets somewhere (can't remember where); was warned from a local about the "mafia" robbing people on the streets at night in that area. The streamer didn't take it serious yet had a piece of his equipment snatched from him from a guy on a bike just minutes afterwards (it's all on video by the way). Of course, that doesn't mean it was indeed the mafia but it seems suspicious to me since the local specifically said "the mafia". Perhaps he calls anyone who steals the mafia I don't know. I'm pretty sure they will and do rob innocent people though. It's money at the end of the day.

Birth maybe, but certainly their language and culture. Americans trace “where they are from” from the ancestral history of the first known immigrant/s. Because this country was built by slaves and immigrants. Moving continents is a radical experience, and so these immigrants passed their culture down through their families to remember the homes they left behind. No american is telling you that they have an italian passport. You’re just being annoying.

There was a mob boss in Jersey who talked with his consiglieri about bad dreams and anxieties, Simone DeCavalcante. He did have anxieties and issues, but didn't go to a therapist. That Godfather killing was realistic for the 40s, because it's based loosely on the Valentine's Day Massacre and the Chicago killings. Also mob killings in Sicily. In New York, they probably never would've killed Sonny like that, but in Chicago or Sicily? Yes. In Casino, the stuff in that actually happened. Casinos weren't as tight with public security. If you were a decent guy who regularly spent your money there, they'd treat you like royalty. If you were a cheat, they'd toss you out. But if you kept pushing it, and there was a reason you weren't directly connected to the cops, they'd absolutely break hands, fingers, cut off a pinky, or finesse you out your literal house.

That statement about emulating his mother through bugging tapes had me thinking. That's so crazy, what an articulate guy. It's hard to believe he was a powerful mob boss.

[@Will-gq6gn]

Goddam I thought he was just a random guy who used to be in the mafia but he just starts revealing more and more like how he was personally named in a huge movie with a guy playing him and chased al Capone out of Brooklyn. Like Jesus he must have been at the very top of the mafia food chain

[@sanatprasad1594]

You’re a serious man when you have to clarify that you weren’t the shooter when talking about a high profile murder.

[@dontfeedthetroll294]

Not really, because anybody who actually knows that life knows you're no longer a shooter when you've reached that level. If you're doing the dirty work, you're an enforcer at most.

[@AlkalineGamingHD]

His bro turned state's witness and wore a wire while with their father. That and his testimony got their dad put away for 9-something years. He got humane release due to his senior age (Oldest prisoner in the US at the time). They met a year or so before the father passed (Feb 2020) to reconcile. Read somewhere else that the brothers did touch base but ultimately decided that it was best to remain estranged. Crazy stuff man.

He was a money maker, not a hit man. He was the brains behind the gas fraud scheme in the 80s. Look him up. Capo doesn't have to kill to get that rank.

[@sameed1992]

when he says "didn't hurt anybody" he means that he did't rat anyone out. He doesn't mean that he wasn't violent to others, which he most definitely mast have been as a capo.

[@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177]

@@Osric24 he's definitely killed people before. He's made that clear by alluding to it without actually stating it, because he hasn't been imprisoned on murder charges yet so he can't admit to murder publicly.

When a mobster says it, he means "I didn't hurt anybody that didn't deserve it in the first place.
