Reply to after ASOIAF and kingkiller I dont dare to start reading unfinished series, I wonder statistically how much people are same and if it sffects other authors? by [deleted]
I know what you mean man. I got back into the 1632 series last year.
But most of the time IMO it isn't a big deal. Any series where the individual books can't stand on their own isn't worth reading in the first place.

You have the right to be offended.
Demanding institutional actors take action against other people’s livelihoods based on your offense is narcissism.

Anyone who has ever interacted with anyone else in America over the age of like 40? It's a stock phrase.
This comes across like a "social media vs reality" type of thing to me.

>According to the Boston Globe, Stone accused players of lacking respect and the squad was a group of skaters "with too many chiefs and not enough Indians" after putting a stop to a practice during the 2021-22 season.
Wow. This is clearly a person endorsing genocide!

Reply to comment by schleppylundo in TIL The Jewish mafia was nicknamed the Kosher Nostra by therealbeth
I think it's just the fact that both groups immigrated to the US and were thrust into the ghettos at the same time (displacing the Irish in the same way they displaced Daniel Day-Lewis). Both groups gentrified out as well in time, but the nature of "amici nostra" meant that the Italians, by initiating their younger family members and neighborhood wannabes, were able to maintain an effective hegemony over organized crime in some cities.
Lansky himself is a key example; even though he was certainly influential among earlier Mafia leaders, he never exercised any real power. He didn't collect tribute from the Italians, he didn't conduct sit-downs, and he certainly didn't order hits. He was strictly a "partner" to Joey Adonis and later Jimmy Alo. Granted, they were very easy-going partnerships, as he made both men extremely rich.

The difference between the Italian Mafia and the Jewish Mafia is that the Italian Mafia was actually a thing.
Guys like Dutch Schulz and Meyer Lansky weren't part of some overriding Jewish honor culture or crime syndicate; they were independent operators who worked with, and occasionally took orders from, the Italians.

Wonder if they decided to take care of this on the street.
