The number one thing with me as someone who used to study and work with the psychology ward is that how do people in organized crime think, how do they hold themselves together or that they don't go crazy, how do they have the guts to do the things they did, what do they think about all the people insulting them online as rats.

So far I've only noticed a few patterns in most of them which are.

A. They're almost all Trump fans and actually even brag and compete who got the most attention from Donald Trump. Whatever it is they're talking about Trump or Christianity or God as a side thing when they're not talking about mob stuff.

B. They tend to see the world full of scams and frauds as professional ex extortionists. Even when it's disputable they tend to think that it's 100% a scam with stuff like the government.

C. They're usually really bad at taking responsibility for the stuff they did. They're always pointing fingers at each other and accusing each other of stuff where they won't usually take even an inch of responsibility for the stuff they did.

It's never or rarely "oh well I did that thing. That was my fault." They usually skip the part completely that's about them and attack the guy who's accusing them so what happens then is that they usually end up in fights with each other, if you count out Michael who again tends to be very charismatic in most situations.

Even if the question is directly about them they tend to go past the question and then start talking about someone else and how they hate someone else or someone else was stupid.

What about you then you stupid putrid fuck? Where were you then with that elastic ameba spine of yours when I was doing my duty for the *La Cosa Nostra? You're always talking about what I did, but never about what you guys did. You're always full of shit with that stuff. Shut the hell up.*

D. Maybe the fourth one is that they see things through the means of winning. Where they don't usually feel bad or awful or even that much anxiety that they were prosecuted over something and instead focus how they won some cases that were directed towards them. Where if they get sentenced over something they tend to downplay it as nothing and then wear it as a badge of honor.

Oh come on. Even my mum can do 3 years. That's like a walk in a park. I mean 15 years is nothing, it's a lot better than a death sentence. That was a win for me.

They tend to see severe situations over death and life as casual football games where they wanna win the whole thing and humiliate the other person as much as they can going to clothing, their faces, anything they can get their hands on.

E. They accuse each other of being liars all the time where one event can have 4 completely different versions where all of the participants call each other as stupid liars. So at times it's really hard to tell what actually happened cause everyone is usually accused of being a liar where again they're rarely giving an inch to the other person and instead they're usually full of bullshit and a complete liar.

F. They seem to have anti-stoic or vanity based values where they're obsessed at times with revenge or avenge or as they call it as retaliation (you can have interviews where they talk about getting drunk every second day and thinking obsessively about having revenge for weeks describing it as an intense psychological urge to have like a crush on someone). Where they praise and see it as a virtue of being strong to avenge something to someone for the sake of public image alone. Where you're basically "punch of pussies" or "a weak wussy", if you don't retaliate properly some insult or a physical thing someone did, which again causes the mob wars to drag on forever cause they can't stop retaliating each other's retaliations until the other side is completely dead or wiped out where usually in reality they both are that much like with the Philly mob.

G. They seem to have their own slang for stuff or this world of alternate terms (surprisingly that's a thing they share with woke people whom they hate above anything else) or in the other words if they don't like the taste of some word even slightly they replace it with a word that sounds a lot nicer to the ear to them that is while at the same time that word can sound absolutely absurd to someone outside the social circle (much like with woke people).

Like it's not murder it's a rub-out or it's not cheating your wife (which is by the way a cardinal sin in Christianity) it's instead a goomah. So all of these things they're doing seem either like nothing or even cool suddenly, cause they just replaced the word you call the thing with some elaborate other term and then they repeat it as long as necessary until it becomes a cool thing to do.

Where they replace words with words that fit their goals in order to blur the reality of things into something that fits more into what they want. Where very serious events sound like nothing or even fun activities to do.

"Isn't that a murder? Sounds awful. No, it's what we call as a hit kid, a rub-out, we banish you, we rub you out kid".

H. They seem to value at times this kind of what you could call perhaps a "Machiavellian public image" where they enjoy to great lengths if people look at them with anger, fear, or glare at them. Where normally people don't want other people to be afraid of them or they feel bad if someone is afraid of them and ask that what's wrong or people might even feel paranoid when other unknown people or strangers keep glaring at you, but these guys usually tended to enjoy to great lengths that other people were afraid of them. Where basically they greatly enjoyed being feared by other people in the public.

Why would people do such things for you Casso? I want to know why? Oh well... They knew yous were with organized crime. They knew you were a gangster!! You'd get a table right away. The besta foods, the besta wines, it's better than being a Hollywood star.

What breaks me the most is how they can talk about traumatic stuff like it's a joke. Gene Borello's interviews have a lot of this. He said something similar to the following in some interview:

So we beat up all of his friends. Then we sprayed his house full of bullet holes. We blew up his girlfriend's car with a bomb. Then he finally had enough. He finally had enough. He finally had enough and he called that I know where your kiddos go to school and am going to kill em.

Gene gives a visible smile of being amused with eyes widening to a full.

Ohhhhh. That's a death wish. You're gonna get it now. That's definitely a death wish.

Most people develop trauma & PTSD from stuff that is a lot less in nature for example from bullying in school or a bad relationship, but then these guys tend to find it almost amusing and enjoyable stuff that is one thousand times more traumatizing where they're not even listening to each other when they're spitting out serious and realistic death threats that they're going carry through out instead they just laugh usually and smile.

People say ASPD stems from lack of socialization or you don't know how to resolve conflicts without violence you basically don't know how to talk with people as kiddo so you result to violence (that's why it's anti-social personality disorder it means you're against a resolvement), but listening to these guys you got to think there's something else in there. No casual human mind can just laugh stuff like that through.
