Over the years I have experienced many types of people
including quiet a few that consider themselves "gangsters"
I have realised over time however that the big difference between
people who say they are Mafia and people who really are Mafia
is their ability to get a job done
for example. often people who masquerade themselves as Mafia-oso
which are more common than you will ever believe
are often what the Japanese call Paper dragon
just like pop up books, just for show
however when it comes to doing the job in hand
seldom do any of these pseudo gangsters really fit the bill
and for the most part, such people are simply threatening on false collateral
like a poor man trying to take out a loan on a mansion without any real collateral or credibility
as if you do the credit checks on their criminality
you would soon find out that their criminal bank account is empty
and nothing but fantasy
like the delusional that thinks he is a multi-billionaire
based on nothing but thin air
that my friends is the difference between mafia and pretend mafia
more pretend than any friend in this world i can tell you
