Why were they so rude to a fellow Italian?
>>219721746Tomato Europeans are stuck-up as a shit plus they see him as a Medigan
it wasnt that he was american italian, it was that they could deduct that he wasnt a good modern gangster and clumsy at best. he got judged for being a poor mafioso. no standards, all that. kek
>>219721746I'm surprised they never realized Chris was high as a kite the whole trip.
>>219722018they had stuff to do, chrissy was soon getting married, they had to use a 1 way translater anyhow so couldnt rally chat with the others, and he told them he was hanging out with that 1 italian guy so he was mking connects on his own.
>>219722013The people in question were just citizens at a cafe
>>219722241they smell hes a greaseball with no prospects.
>>219721746>didn't even bother learning Italian in his entire life>thinks he's so Italian he can fit in immediately after 100 years of cultural separation
>>219722547Macaroni and gravy
Egg noodles and tomato ketchup
God what an amazing episode.To answer your question OP it's because he had no class and they immediately judged him to be a piece of shit hillbilly with no ability to respect the big brass, basically.
>>219721746Look at him. Fake tan, makeup, probably uses eye liner too and the way he help the cup. They just thought he was a faggot
>>219722819Saying "commendatori" was the worst thing he did
>>219722107His original plan was to hit the nude beaches and see that fucking volcano!
>>219722869why?
>>219721746funniest thing was David making himself as the italian. faggot thinks hes not a mediganitalian americans are beyond cringe
That episode made me scared of visiting Europe.
>>219721746because they were from jersey, the pit stain
>>219726901You should be scared because this fucking continent is a dying shithole now.
italians are rude in general but they hate americans especially regardless of race, some of them probably hate italian americans particularly because they know they aren't their kin
How much betrayal can one man take?
>>219726890he looked the part with his disposition
Italians are very regionalistic, historically they spoke dialects that can be considered different languages. So they don't like that whole meshing it into one big thing that Americans do. For example in the show Silvio's family was from Sicily but Tony's from Campania. These are quite different origins but for Americans its just Italian.
>>219727396That's Euros in general. Americans cannot stand direct conversations. When they encounter Germans or Finns it's hilarious due to their normal interactions being labeled as autistic by the average mutt that would get them put on meds and/or denied employment.
>>219727396all europeans are kind of snooty and rude, the italians aren't the worst for it
>>219727673they're all spaghetti slurping cretins
>>219727701>>219727757yeah i know this but I figured italians might be higher on the hate pole, in my mind eastern euros hate us less because they live more humble lives
>>219727872don't take it personally, it's not that they hate you they're just snooty weirdos who huff their own farts a lot
>>219727872>hate us lessMaybe back in the 90s when the USSR fell.>humble lives>that's what he calls it
>>219726890That faggot think he's above the people he's making fun of when, in reality, he's the worst of the bunch. Many such cases
>>219727757>europeans are kind of snooty and rude>meanwhile the americans openly shit on and insult every european and even talk about invading greenlandThey only seem "rude" because you expect them to bend over for you.
>>219728136I'm not american, just pointing out what continental europeans are like
>>219728136It's interesting how Euros can work wagie jobs like waiters yet still are allowed to maintain a level of self-respect, to a point, where as Americans pretty much take on the roll of spreading their cheeks to the general public from an millionaire to EBT welfare retards. All get the same """professional""" treatment regardless of how they treat the waiter.
>>219722819How else would you hold that tiny cup
>>219727974do eastern euros not live humbler lives? than say most western euros
>>219729972When I think humble I think of my Silent Gen neighbor who was a literal millionaire but lived in our small town in a small house no more than 1500sqft and drove a 90s Buick until he died. All his own choices. E. Euros, for the most part, do not have a choice in their living conditions.
It’s hilarious that some of the cast said Tony Sirico was exactly like Paulie in ways. Like that he wore STRONG cologne at all times and sometimes would spray people with his. Also a big germaphobe in real life like Paulie
Italians are basically gay albanians
>that scene at the end when they get back from Italy and they're staring out at the new jersey industrial wastelandI felt the same way when I came back to the US after visiting Germany
>>219733560must have been a long time ago
>>219733770>dude europe is... LE DOOMED!!! Every good thing about Europe? Is LE GONE!!!
This was the only episode where Talking Sopranos really gave some insight. David Chase's "Italy" is entirely fabricated. According to Imperioli, there were no areas with bad toilets, everyone was nice, no one hated them for being American, etc. The idea Italian-Americans are totally divorced from Italy or that Italy is a shithole, is just some fantasy that exists solely in Chase's head that he projects onto the word.
>>219727757I doubt it, wiggers in america are probably way more aggressive and confrontational than euros
>>219734189Naples (where they went in the show) is definitely a shithole with bad toilets and rude people. That dude was just coping
>>219733560Same. Lived in Germany for a year or so.>Go from taking weekend walks in various forrests and woods and enjoying non-poisoned food.>Return to the Bumfuck, Nowhere that is the Midwest where it's endless fields and anything actually healthy has a 1.5x increase of price.
Vaffanculo, ecco perché
Because he’s a dirty grease ball Jersey trash.
>>219726739You really think Italians go around saying "commander" to each other?
>>219735486>only germany has outsidei cycle all the time for free and my town has endless trails
Paulie s shirt looks like a pastry yummy
>>219734189Southern Italy is kind of a shithole. I'm sure there are some Italians on here who will back me up. I'm not Italian but I've been to Sicily, different places around Tuscany, and I've been to the north, Milan, as far up as Como. It's an amazing country don't get me wrong. But just like the UK has regions which are shitholes, so does Italy, and the south (Naples + Sicily) are those areas for various reasons. These southern regions are also the places more affected by the Mafia.You can see some seriously rundown areas there. Naples as shown in the show is believable enough
>>219737427Do you live in the Midwest? Being in nature is next to impossible unless you stumble across a creek where you get maybe 1 or 2 miles of a stinky water.
>>219721746Europeans in general are just dicks to everyone.
>>219737126I don’t know but according to their movies I see online all the women love getting fucked in the ass without exception.
>>219727673>So they don't like that whole meshing it into one big thingAs in the Italian language, spoken in Italy?>that Americans do.Famous American Giuseppe Garibaldi
>>219734189>or that Italy is a shithole, is just some fantasy that exists solely in Chase's head that he projects onto the word."Shithole" is a stretch, but you're kidding yourself. The police being insanely corrupt is real, and crime is rampant, although the crime itself is not "violent", it's mostly just petty theft and vandalism.
>>219727673>So they don't like that whole meshing it into one big thing that Americans do.Europeans do the same exact shit with America.
>>219727396Irish do this too
>>219721746because this movie was made by a neurotic heeb. Italians were really nice when I went. French people or Dutch might act like this. Not Italians or Spaniards though.
>>219721817t. not american and never traveled
>>219721746i don't think they were even rude because he was Italian American, but it's not always common in randomly greet strangers or strike up small talk in other cultures. Some Italians are just pricks.it was funny that David Chase cast himself as the guy being mean to Paulie
>>219727396Bullshit I've actually been to Italy and they were very warm and open. Dutch and French were the only countries I encountered rude people. Germans were very nice actually. But not the Dutch...
>>219721746because he looks sicialian, aka terrone
>>219722798David Chase says it was his least favorite episode and one that he just "got wrong".
>>219741316no they don't lmao irish people are friendly as fuck
>>219721746it's akin to a very americanized cholo going to a taco stand in mexico city and raises his coke to his fellow mexicans who all think pinche gringoe
>>219721746https://youtu.be/jT5Gds9wX7YAy! Ooh! Ah!

did you guys know the british are entirely responsible for the rise of the mob in sicily? the british turned the whole of sicily into a banana republic for lemons, which the british knew had some ability to cure scurvy.https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23831830-600-why-the-sicilian-mafia-owes-its-existence-to-scurvy/
>>219733560Try not living in an urban sprawl. >Germany has more natural space than the USThis is literally mental illness >>219735486>>219738672Why are you making up lies? You realize you have to actually leave the Chicago city limits? There’s 13 National Forests located in the Midwest you fucking useless faggot. That dosent count the tens of thousands of county and state parks located here. I live in bum fuck Illinois and there’s several places from me between 25-60 minute drives where I can hike all day and see maybe four people on busy day. Are you a paid shill?
>>219741906where would we be without scientists?
>>219721746old worlders hate the diaspora for bailing on them.diaspora look down on the old worlders as the leftovers who stayed behind.
>>219740917Yeah "Italia" was a fake nation-state created out of the ruins of several Empires. It seems very provincial to Americans, especially of the "Burn them again Uncle Billy!" variety that distinct regional identities can exist. It's alluded to when Furio mentions he doesn't like Columbus because he's from Northern Italy and it pisses the Sopranos crew off.
>>219741285Inaccurate. Europeans only know LA and NYC and they don't know where either one is. They also don't know what Alaska or Hawaii are.
>>219742315>Furio mentions he doesn't like Columbus because he's from Northern ItalyTotally realistic thing for a semite to say desu but an Italian would never say this.
>>219742239Using 16th century technology and medicine.
>>219721746because Italians are used to living in Italy and won't be particularly amused by someone praising their fucking fruit, actually they view their home country with the same disillusioned feeling Paulie had after going back to the US, he would have been right at home had he gone back a second time.
>>219742181>ChicagoTry Nebraska, Iowa, or South Dakota. There are maybe 5 areas that are crowded with people all the time that are 2 hour drives to get to.>>219741836Jelly.
>>219742976so those scientists were using 13th century technology and medicine i take it
>>219742866>They also don't know what Alaska or Hawaii are.that's not true, nobody knows where ohio is
>>219743249They literally can't find LA or NYC on a map and it's the only two locations they have heard of. Okay they have heard of Las Vegas too but they can't find that on a map either. They cannot find New York on a map and outside of the 2-5 countries on their own border they can't find anything on a map.
>>219741427When Conan went to Italy they were laughing when he was being a clown talking to strangers and trashing their businesses.
>>219743099>I live in the flattest area on earth >why all of Midwest suck so badSo your rule of measure for the entire Midwest is fucking Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota? Jesus Christ anon. Go study a map and put down the bong.
>>219743398i dont even know where ohio is and i am sophisticated mand of great geographical knowledgeand i am starting to suspect that you dont where ohio is eitherin fact i think it is just a made up place for the purposes of federal subsidies, like slovenia
>>219743117They were using Scientology retard
>>219743706ohio is slovenia fuckface
>>219726901I went to the UK for college abroad and everyone warned me about how dangerous it was, but I had a great time hanging out with random people everywhere I went.
>>219743744uh those people werent random
>>219743736I thought Slovenia Fuckface was your mom’s stage name. Is Ohio another one of her nicknames?
>>219743886yes, if she was a whore in america Ohia would be like whatever a good stage name
>>219744014ohio, slovenia whatever, it's not a real place
>>219744059https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qSKELhk_fcok let's watch fake war massacre with famous actor dennis quaid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qSKELhk_fc
what does the old italian man say to Paulie on the bridge again? something completely unrelated to Paulie greeting him and Paulie just ignores him after
>>219744363https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cajaPrja9c8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7UEddgJxrEsome more atrocity propaganda
>>219744363I'm pretty sure he asks if he knows him.
>>219743554>implying 90% of the midwest isn't exactly thisBut I don't expect some yuppie from Chicago to get it. Technically I can go skiing on a mountain in Iowa. Will you say the Midwest has lots of skii resorts too, you double nigger-faggot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID223ToMVxMnow that the brutal dictator Assad has been defeated the good girls and women of Syria are sure to be able to enjoy a bikini clad romp on the fine beaches of Syria
>>219728450 >take on the roll
>>219721746Italians are notorious for hating each other. The north hates the south, regions hate other regions.
>>219721746>fellow Italian
>>219745122especially since 1 million of the very brave men of syria somehow wound up in germany, they should enjoy much privacy so as to frolic in the warm sea and the soft sands of the mediterraneanat the very least they should make the most of this opportunity
>>219733560Yes I enjoyed stepping off the train in Frankfurt right into a pile of human excrement and then having to navigate streets filled with drug zombies and rape gangs.
>>219721746the whole point is that euros are retarded and nigger-like. just like the other mobster we hear call paulie and the others "NO CULTCHA" then a few minutes later we see him beating the shit out of a mother on the street.
>>219745303upon their return, which will definitely happen, these scions of the democratic process and sustainability will be sure to impart their knowledge to their native land
>>219744918I’m not sure if you’re trolling, have zero reading comprehension, or are just a fucking retard but everything you’ve said in this post is false and I’ve explained why in >>219742181 I’m done giving (you)s. Stay mad on your reservation and in your hatetheusa circle subreddits you undoubtedly belong to.
>>219726901it was way safer back then. and the countries looked like what you’d expect.
>>219721746thats the point. Paulie and his kin are so different from modern italians they are looked down upon and vice versa.Its possibly similar to English/Americans situation where its not exactly clear who lost more of their culture from 250 yrs ago. More like two pronged fork who cant go back.Paulie should enjoy the fucking food though. Unforgivable demanding tomato sauce and pasta.
>>219746050*circle jerk subreddits
>>219745171Fortunately we don’t have that problem in US.
>>219727396In my experience it's the complete opposite. Being American while traveling makes me popular and cool to Europeans.
Euro's are fucking cunts to each other, and cunts to outsiders as well. I lived over there for 3 years, and found that their regional bigotry was on par with U.S. racial bigotry. They have serious north vs. south rivalries, among others, and if you're a foreigner it's even worse. MOST, and I do mean MOST of the people I encountered were cool, which made it all the more surprising when I met the animosity I received from the few, an animosity I tossed right back into their fucking faces.You've got to remember that those fucking people waged war against each other constantly, and when they weren't fighting others, they were fighting themselves via civil wars.
>>219721746his pronunciation was so bad that it was basically incomprehensible for a native speaker, imagine being 80 and you're having a conversation at the bar with your friends and some random foreigner starts mumbling nonsense to you with that cheeky smile, they might have thought that he was an idiot or that he was making fun of them
>>219726901Italians are some of the friendliest Euros when it comes to foreigners visiting their country.The French are cunts though.
