Random US gangbangers? Barely human savages
Mexican Drug Cartels? Heavily armed savages
Russian Mob? Well dressed savages
Random muslims that just so happen to be criminals? I can’t even type what they call them.
But the Italians? Suave, well-spoken, extremely resourceful and classy.
I’m not sure what causes it. The most famous mob movies all talk about how they’re ultimately a bunch of backstabbers but they’re still so heavily mythologized. It wasn’t even that long ago that they had influence, we’re talking the late 80s where things started to take a turn.
I’m not gonna say they were like, good or anything, but it’s wierd to take such a heated position like it’s still happening. It happened because of climatory and economic reasons, conquerors like the Turks or the Germans and such.
Yeah, I am Turk, but I don’t act like they were somehow just conquering Constantinople just to, idk, farm or trade or whatever lol
It’s weird to have to paint over the Vikings’ actions like that ahahaha
