Why does Tony have such a hard-on for italian pride? I'm not like this with my anglo ancestry.
>>224094744because he was a man and you are a sissy
He wuz soilders n shit aye forgeddaboudit
>>224094744Anglos have nothing to be proud of
>not proud of being Anglo-Saxonwhat a loser
>>224094744That's your flaw, not his.
>>224094744Anglo is the defualt culture in the US, so it's taken for granted. It does not distinguish you in any wayMinority groups tend to be more invested in their culture; it's same reason Quebecoise are more into their "Frenchness" than people living in metropolitan France
because he has nothing else to be proud of. his kids suck in different ways, his wife doesn't love him, he's smart enough to know that he's a fat leech when all of his neighbors are doctors and lawyers, and he got where he is in the mafia because of nepotism rather than hard work or even difficult machinations since Junior was so far past his prime. he has nothing to be proud of, so he takes pride in his "heritage" which means nothing because by the late 90s, Italian Americans were just white
>>224094744>Why does Tony have such a hard-on for italian pride? I'm not like this with my anglo ancestry.The chinese invented spaghetti, we invented spaghetti, and in this household chairman mao is a hero! End of fucking subject!
love for anglo culture is huge in Americarevolutionary war masturbation,"the founding fathers"all variations of "americana"and basically celebration of everything involving America pre 1900.I'd say it's pretty big. Much bigger than Columbus Day.
>>224094972ancient greeks had a food eaten at funeral or for mourning that was spaggheti/makaronia, it was not the chinese that brought it to europe
>>224094744>Why does Tony have such a hard-on for italian pridehe was from the south, it was magna grecia; just greeks in italy
>>224094744>any brown or black expresses pride for their heritage>"wow that's so amazing your cultures are so amazing and it's amazing that you devote yourself to keeping them going">any white person expresses pride for their heritage>"you're a nazi chud incel pick me and you deserve to die"
>>224094744Anglos became American, you're comparing 400 years of settlement to 100. you can't spend 4 centuries away from your homeland and still retain their culture.
>>224094972>invented spaghetti, ancient Greek funeral food called makaria (from makar, meaning "blessed" or the deceased).The Ancient Greek Makaria• What it was: In ancient Greece, mourners didn't eat modern wheat-based spaghetti or tubular macaroni. Instead, makaria was a barley-based meal or a commemorative bread/cake given out or eaten at funerals to honor the soul of the departed on their journey to the UnderworldEvolution of the word: Over the centuries through the Byzantine period, the term for funeral meals shifted to makarōnia. When the custom and the word passed into southern Italy (which had heavy Greek-speaking roots), it evolved into the Italian maccheroni, eventually looping back into modern Greek as macaroni (makaronia) and modern pasta terms like zymarikáModern Greek Funerary Traditions• Koliva: The true ancient descendant served at Greek funerals and memorial services today is koliva—a ritual dish made of boiled wheat berries, pomegranate seeds, nuts, raisins, and sugar, which symbolizes life, death, and resurrection
>>224095355>chatgptKill yourself
His family is being Assimilated into American (GOD) culture and it is driving his little peanut brain crazy. It's why he Rome larps so hard, he harkens for when his people were worthwhile. He's addicted to the idea of serving a greater cause since all he does is low level gangster shit.
>>224094744Because Italians have to overcompensate for the fact Italians haven't done anything for the US other than raise crime rates
>>224094947>all of his neighbors are doctors and lawyers, and he got where he is in the mafia because of nepotism>implying the doctors and lawyers didn't get where they are through nepotism
Columbus was a hero thoughever what historical figure hasn't killed some people?
>>224095364we will eat the ancient greek food once you drop dead
>>224095393Ancient Greek spaghetti.
>>224094744Because you were brainwashed to hate your own people if you're White.
>>224095390Columbus Day was a participation trophy to Italians
>>224095334>Italians are white nowWhat a time to be alive!
>dude italians aren't white wopslop etcevery Sopranos thread, get some new material
>>224094851Russians are like a fungal infection.
>>224094744>I'm not like this with my anglo ancestry.That's why your home country is getting raped
>>224095451Who cares? Why would you want to associate with rusanglogermcucks? Europeans call themselves European first and foremost. White is a cope term Asian gypsies use to try to fit in.
Of course you wouldn't care about celebrations and food if you are Anglo.
>>224094744He made Home Alone 1 and 2 is what he did, he was a brave american director. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero, end of story
>>224095388you need to pass some pretty difficult professional exams to become a doctor or lawyer. connections might help you get into school but you ultimately have to know more than, "intimidate small business owners and truck drivers"
>>224095424>Columbus Day was a participation trophy to ItaliansThey dont have any saints? The irish got shamrock day, the italians can have a tomato day.
>>224095821Tony Soprano is a fictional characterJames Gandalfini isn't, and came from a working class family and made his to to becoming an A list actor.
>>224094744MARCONIARCONI
>>224096324name one movie this ginzo was the leading man in
>>224094744Second-third generation inmigrants love to larp. Then when they get back to their grandparents country are mocked to death.
>>224095821You need balls to become a mafia boss.All the bosses before him, were either killed, in prison, or Junior, being a reviled old man.And Tony Soprano had a crisis, that the best outcome for him is for him to become Junior. It was either dead, prison, or Junior.Tony Soprano didn't just simply inherit being a mafia boss by no merit of his own. He survived his way to it, which is an achievement in itself,because everybody else was dead or in jail.He was the most competent guy left that survived. That's why he became boss.He was up against attrition the whole time. A relentless attrition that is always there, and will take any opportunity to take him out, whether it's the police or other criminals.Like working some highly dangerous job where half of the people that work in that job get killed within 20 years. Surviving to see 40 years old is an achievement in itself.
>>224096435Not really, it's the home country people that seethe over things like Americans wearing a green shirt on St Patrick's Day
>>224096448>>224095821>>224094947And if it were just nepotismAnthony should have been set to become boss after Tony.That was completely out of the question. He wouldn't have made it even at a low rank. It was never going to happen. Tony wouldn't have even let Antony try, or even be associated.Mafia is going to have nepotism, because the whole idea of it is nepotisticthey're literally called the family, and many of them are blood related family.Family that will climb all over each other, and cut each other's throats.Lord of the Flies nepotism.
>>224096324who the fuck was talking about Gandolfini? the thread is about tony soprano
>>224094744He had so much Italian pride that he couldn't even bother to learn Italian before dealing with those Italian mafiosi.
>>224094744Italians are generally just bad people, much like their ancestors. Never forget how the Romans sacked the last temple. They’ve always been enemies of Judeo-Christendom.
>>224096386They literally do serve macaroni and gravy in Italy. I never understood that scene.
My part Italian American dad said that only retards got roped into mafia schemes like the Terminator 2 retard. He said it was pretty easy to stay out of their way if you weren't a degenerate.
He's only really like that in S1, after the episode where he visits Italy he becomes pretty disillusioned with Italian-American identity and thinks it's mostly bullshit
Egotism. He isn't really authentically Italian at all, none of them are. There's an entire episode where they go to Italy and are totally alienated in the culture there because it contrasts so heavily with the trashy one they know back home.
>>224097254it's considered more of a children's meal there
>>224095390He was seen as a bad man even back in his time.
>>224094744Brownoids are absolutely obsessed with being brown. It's just the way they are.
>>224094744Usually the groups with the least to be proud of are the proudest
>>224094744The same way you don't brag about your dad's achievements - you have your own. Americans should be more proud and racially conscious but their nation has it's own identity and achievements as an extension of Anglo-Saxondom worldwide. What do Irish or Italian Americans do but wash up in the 20th century and cause problems from then until today?
>>224094744Cuz he was just a smalltown boy.
>>224097318granted, you had to be involved in porn, gambling, or drug dealing for that and if you weren't then you could avoid the Mafia
>>224097895Run away, turn away
>>224097623This. Indians are a great example of this
>>224097670>Americans should be more proud and racially conscious but their nation has it's own identity and achievements as an extension of Anglo-Saxondom worldwide.
>>224094744>anglo ancestry.are you a bong? it's because you're a third worlderif you're not a bong it's because being of bong dissent is the norm. Tony is a shitalian, a subhuman minority. he feels the need to have pride in the shithole his family fled from because it sucked dick, like how mexicans wave the mexican flag but get mad when you send them back to mexico
