Why are the Mexicans not having issues whacking people and the Italians are? Are the Italians too Americanized in 2023?


Think that answer is like the Sopranos and AJ, how he was so soft and three is more money to be made being legit today than shaking down drug addicts and gamblers



Yes Can you imagine fuckin AJ taking over this dads business? WTF?!! LOL HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

And People wonder why there isn't any action anymore.


That's why the Mexican cartels are so strong in their area, due to having thousands of soldiers with not much of hope in their country to look to, same with in some areas of Bolivia, Columbia, Peru, etc. Philly and some areas of Chicago it is the same in the black neighborhoods where you have all these young kids who are children of young moms that have zero hope from their environment and get a gun and rob, sell and murder; its a shame in America you have neighborhoods in Philly, NY, Chicago, wherever that people are doing this as the norm now, these are American citizens and people in our government ignore them and also exploit them for social political and monetary gain and those politicians and grifters are doing so with blood on their hands, its a fkn shame


100%. That is the painful but God's honest truth. First world governments make minimal efforts to counter crime in impoverished neighborhoods and impoverished countries because they frankly just don't give a shit. Criminals from poor communities are seen as "nuisance", not an outright "problem". To them criminals in those communities are just poor idiots of which 95% have a short life expectancy anyway. So they just let them sell some drugs and kill and mutilate each other. They will bust some gangs once they start making a bit too much money - knowing very well others are right behind the corner to take their place - and "condemn their actions" to save some face, politicians will use what's happening in those neighborhoods as some kind of meme for one of their new campaigns, but none of them will take actual steps or carry through with any plans - long term or short term - to actually eradicate the crime that's happening in those places. The moment all of the violence and open corruption would spill over into "everyday citizen society" you'd see governments changing their tune in the blink of an eye, but as long as it's just the poverty-stricken killing off each other they'll either choose to ignore it or to exploit it when it's the right season to exploit it. It's tragic, because at the end of the day there are also lots of good people that live in those communities or countries that are going through a whole lot of suffering.
