Can we have a solid discussion on the History of the Mafia? like how has the Mafia's impact on crime influenced places like the Americas, Europe, China and Japan, as well as the rest of the world for that matter.
not just the basic guys either like La Cosa Nostra or the Triad.
talk about all of em.
>Yakuza (japanese mafia)
>Bratza (Russia mafia)
>Irish Boston Mafia
>MS13 and la Cartel (mexico mafia)
>Kosher Mafia (jew mafia)
the list goes on.
Dump your knowledge.
Pic sorta related.
By Mafia do you mean criminal organizations in general or specifically the Sicilian Mafia?
MS13 is the Salvadorian mob.
If you know anything about El Salvador's recent history, you'll begin to see why they would produce a large number of violent individuals.

Op here.
just starting a discussion.
John Gotti aka the teflon don or the dapper don. Something that many may not know is that the Italian Mafia in New York was heavily against the business of selling drugs up until the assent of John Gotti. His regime when he took power as the main chair in the Italian-American Mafia was a time of darkness. Before the Mafia was making its way into political power and rising to become legit, but here come this snake and reopens the drug gates.
John Gotti and his Business with the Drug influence growing in America is why he got so rich, and why many rappers now adays assert their stage name with the simularities as John Gotti.
>Yo Gotti
>50 cent "Yeah, I talk the talk, and I walk the walk
Like a teflon Don, but i run New York"
Why do Africans have such well defined features in general whilst Europeans have amalgamated and shapeless features? Is it because of the way Europeans live nowadays?

I was looking through my attic and found these hundred year old books and wondered what the history behind them where and if they are worth anything besides a good read
>That kingdom in Italy? Yeah those guys were a tiny tribe that came from Gotland
>That Iberia-spanning empire? Yeah same tribe but they took another path
>See North Africa? Those guys also came from Scandinavia, another tiny tribe
>The kingdom of Burgundy? Yup you got it, tiny tribe that came from a Scandinavian island

What are you implying?
how would you explain it then op
The Great Migration Period is more about moving elites than mass and compact movement of peoples. Archaeologically it's very difficult to reconstruct an ethnos on the material culture, as most Migration Period archaeological cultures were polyethnic in their character (Chernyahovo-Santana de Mures for example). At best we can trace certain elites by their fibulae, military equipment, burial rites etc.

Martin Luther "Turn The Other Cheek" King Jr. got murdered by a redneck, which basically destroyed the hopes of many black people and seemingly invalidated his message of non-violence. This manifested itself via massive race riots in most major American cities, one of which was the D.C. riot.
MLK was a plagarizing, whoremongering communist with a cocaine addiction.

There are books in the bible that are more beautiful than Luke. The author is clearly biased.
How did this tiny region of Asia contain so many different states, languages, pantheons and eras? How did it conceive multiple empires consecutively over a span of 2000 years, some of which ruled over places like Egypt, Anatolia and Judea?

The rivers which you highlighted, obviously. In ancient times, large permanent settlements were not possible without being near a river

All records and lineages of the priesthood were destroyed by the Roman. The secondary sources are gone too. So how does Judaism still exist?

The fuck you on about?
>So how does Judaism still exist?
Because the priesthood was never particularly central to it, as the culture and practice and ideas as to what made you a "Jew" were never invested in those priests?
I mean for fuck's sake, when they got a grant to return to Israel from Cyrus, most of them didn't go. They were perfectly happy to stay in what's now Iraq and did their shit for generations.
The Cohen line is still around, idk what you're on about m8. The temple was only necessary for the Yids to do animal sacrifices and the Rabbis were never priests anyways.
It's called Live Action Role-Playing.
What the FUCK was his problem?

What does /his/ think of Deism?
There's no basis for it. It's one step away from Atheism, you may as well just go all the way.
