Good books on the politics of American wops?Good books on how in 100 years they went from rabid commie/anarchist terrorists to the most reactionary terachuds? Its a bit surprising.>ask /his/That'll just devolve into prot v. cath and nord v. med shitflinging. I'd like to actually learn the answer to this question, which is broad enough that a book rather than a post will be required.
>>24835866My issue rub with the serie Is that we never learn how many years Leotardo was in the clink
>>24835904Not a peep
>>24835904Let me tell you a couple of three things. First of all, he compromised.
>>24835866As non-WASP immigrants, they were often victims of racism and xenophobia. Treated with suspicion and seen as lesser people, so they looked for left wing politics for shelter and protection. Now that they have assimilated more or less, and they have power, they can afford to be nationalistic. It's all about social and political capital.
>>24835866Read Machiavelli and you will understand that wops align to whatever benefits them in the long run.
>>24835985As a WASP I dunno why they're still here.
>>24835988Those dumb wops, aligning themselves to what benefits them. They should be more like WASPs and sow the seeds of their own destruction
>>24835866> prot v. cath and nord v. med shitflinging. I'd like to actually learn the answerI mean both of those are useful parts of the analysis. The US was heavily anglo and northern european, which means protestant ideas of duty and justice, it’s actually still a problem. You can see attitudes to corruption, crime, job ethic, life values - crudely expressed as “manana” culture for mediterraneans. Family loyalties gain a clan culture aspect we now associate more with middle easterners. “Me against my brother, me and my brother against our cousin” and so on. The very idea that someone can be related to you and wrong in a conflict that involves an outsider is western european. The big conceit of the west at large and the enlightenment values were that everyone could be inducted and embrace them. Turns out that was not the case.
>>24835866I thought this was the Iranian shah guy lol
>>24835866Peter thiel lectures
Anarchism was big in 1900; it isn’t now.Also the recent immigrants were still basically just Italians; now they’re Americans.
