Hello everybody,
I am no expert on the topic and have just read some articles, etc. But I would like to raise some questions about mafias in general and Italian mafias in particular.
Yes, mafiaS. It's plural. And not just because you can have a different mafia for each ethnic community in your melting-pot country... especially in Italy, mafias have developed somewhat separately, each of them within their own regions of control; sometimes in unison and sometimes fighting each other for territory.
Such mafias have specific features that are unique to...

>spoken dialect and regional ethnic identification
One of the things Italians love to talk about is how divided they are.
Now, ethnographically speaking, Italians have the tendency to stress a bit too much on differences and not enough on similarities. According to their own view, there are striking differences even in a 20 km radius. Although this may be true in many relevant cases, truth is that there are some broad areas of shared linguistic background, which resulted in regional language variations on the same structure.
In...

If you look at the map, it looks like a mess, but please consider the following things:
>the same colour (e.g. green) means same dialect. Yes, there are some slang variants, but people within the same colour area are assumed to understand each other pretty well
>The further you go, the hardest it is to understand each other when speaking dialect. A guy in the top left green will have less issues going south-west (towards Bologna), but many more issues...

I have talked a bit about Italian languages because it helps us understand in which condition Italy was when mafia happened.
Of course, mafia did not happen overnight, but was the result of a political and economical transition Italians call "Risorgimento".
"Risorgimento" [insurgence, uprising] refers to all those civil wars and proxy regional revolts that resulted in the unification of the Peninsula.
It goes unsaid...

Alright /pol/, I consider myself to be libertarian on all social issues, and I have a moderately liberal stance on economics (I don't believe socialism nor a completely free-market is viable, I think there needs to be some control on big companies, like prevention of monopolies.)
So /pol/, red pill me, logically explain to me why my beliefs are wrong. Give me a logical argument that explains why I'm wrong past "brainwashed liberal."

You do know that the government creates monopolies right? The only way for companies can be monopolies nowadays is because the government makes them.

Where were you when tolerance destroyed /pol/'s "don't transition young trans children" narrative?

You can't make this up.

OC here, this worked out perfectly.
>>70634890
So basically /pol/ makes people change their sex? I thought /pol/ was against transsexuals.
/pol/, would you marry a woman who has never had vaginal sex, but plenty of anal?

where did you find this magificient gondola and why would i never fuck a girl who's still a virgin ?

Some Brazilian poster on this board made it.
Keep in mind LGBT folks tend to make up a much larger voting base in the Democratic primary than in the general.

Polls seem to suggest that lgbt much prefer Hillary.

I think they'll vote for Trump for the lulz. This will help him to get the presidential preselection, at which point the Republican party will implode and divide into a series of small splinter parties, including the Butthurt Wall-building Party, the Butthurt White Trash Party, and the Butthurt Reality TV Watchers Party. Also, Republicans give sexual diversity a bad name with people like Dennis Hastert all too common. Why are so many republicans homophobes but also sexual deviants?
Almost forgot it doesn't include transsexuals in that question. So it's not 100% representing the LGBT community.
IS this the reason why americans want to build a wall so desperately?
Is it to keep away the BBC (big beaner cock)?
Just how small is the average american dick if we take out the BBCs raising their average?
Does this have to do with genetics or is it that circumcision done at an early age stunts penile growth?
Can /pol/ and more importantly americutlets EVER RECOVER?

We've uplifted you.
I've seen your pain though. Where I'm from we have a small concentration of niggers alongside our black population, and watching them try to talk with each other just makes me feel bad, and sad.
Is this true /pol/? Political Correctness doesn't infringe freedom of speech?
who cares. nigger.
>>70634034
It discourages certain types of speech which in effect does infringe. Not that you should give a fuck. Nigger.
Translation:
>Shut up, asshole. You're not allowed to say, think, or believe anything without my ego's permission.
Has anyone been successful in formulating a critique of this man yet, /pol/, or was he flawless? Seriously asking.
I can't find a single flaw in his track record.

Stalin was based. Compared to him Hitler was a little overly emotional faggot fuckboi. Stalin was a man with a vision and a plan. A man who was brutally cunning, stoic, and highly intelligent. A man who gave no fucks. Men wanted to be him women wanted to be with him. He was a successful terrorist and a bank robber, a wanted man, but he managed to overthrow the system and then he rose to power killing kikes one by one.
So he killed a few million snowniggers. Boo fucking hoo let's all cry and sing Kumbaya faggots.

Everyone in these threads in always. fucking. wrong.
And retarded.

I've only heard RT reporting on this. is it big or is this just a Putin job to make the US look shittier?
Literally who?
Russia leaked it. It overwhelmingly hurt the West and Western politicians while nothing happend to Russia.There where no Americans because the russians are using it as blackmail.
this could have been a Russian intelligence operation, which orchestrated a high-profile leak and established total credibility by “implicating” (not really implicating) Russia and keeping the source hidden. Some documents would be used for anti-corruption campaigns in a few countries—topple some minor regimes, destroy a few careers and fortunes. By then blackmailing the real targets in...
