Probably the most interesting headline we would get about the Mafia for a while

    It is amazing the intersection of hidden criminals and open criminals that only this one guy in Q understood.

    Can you imagine his posts, "hey guys, I found one" and everyone on the board was teasing him that there is no way some old italian guy with a well kept oldies car is really a crime boss.

        It's the same with the "great reset" conspiracy theorists, where it's specifically hitting people who understand that all these neoliberal think tanks, propaganda fronts, and neo-colonial power systems are really fucking bad, but then instead of recognizing the actual lies and crimes they just get hyper focused on vapid PR speak that's just the ghouls trying to euphemize their bullshit and sell it to other ghouls and start imagining that it's some conspiracy to do white genocide.

        And I think that's the point: these conspiracy theories come from the mouthpieces of far-right oligarchs and they prey on people who are disaffected but politically illiterate, turning them towards dangerously incoherent fascist conspiracy theories and away from actually understanding what's wrong with the world in a material sense.

    I mean they got taken down by Rudy Guillani, this is just an extension of the humiliation of that

      I can imagine them watching Guillani the past month and just being so mad

          It seems like the violence of these organizations has slowed down in the past decade or two. A high level guy like Francesco Cali hadn't been killed in decades. It wouldn't surprise me if killing a mob boss had become such a faux pas that even having bodyguards to protect against killings was seen as inappropriate.

    I dunno that headline with the guy named "Joey Meatballs" was also one for the record books.
