Reminds me of the story of Andre Camara, who photographed a favela drug war in the mid 80s.
Take away: criminals are vain too.
For those who don’t know: the film City of God is based on this, and it’s a great movie. One of my all-time favorites. The directing, acting photography and storytelling are all very well done. Worth anyone’s time.
I have to rewatch what, been a decade.
From 2002. It's crazy how happy I was to have 360p mpeg rips back then. I'm gonna have to re-pirate it tonight.
Yup, they want to be documented. Tale as old as time.
It angers me that Fascist Italy could push the Mafia to the brink of extinction but Democratic Italy can’t.
They pushed them out of Italy, which forced mafia to adapt in the US, eventually becoming richer and stronger. A much more powerful transnational mafia returned back to Italy.
That’s just the state mafia replacing the other.
Why does that anger you? Democracy is fundamentally unable to solve such issues.
Nearly every democratic country in the world is a counter example to this, what do you mean exactly?
Please elaborate I think there’re quite a few examples that contradict this
One Mafia pushed the other out. No improvement for normal people.
They can, they just don’t do it. This is the case in every western „liberal democracy“.
They just loooooove the campaign contributions.
Off topic, but I'm always amazed by Archive.md/.is/whatever. To this day I don't understand how they manage to bypass a lot of paywalls.
The mystery about the owner makes it even more intriguing.
I assume they just pretend to be the Googlebot so the site just gives the text.
I just assumed they copied it into their own db
Given to how many people its existence must be incredibly infuriating, it's so odd that it's not being chased down with more haste than pirate bay was. I mean I'm glad it's not, but kinda surprised.
