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

There is a deep metaphysical principle here that shows up over and over again in nature and human society.

It is the same concept as poison ivy versus plants that have evolved to look similar to poison ivy without having any of the chemicals that give people a rash.

It is the same concept you see when dogs and cats raise their hair up and stand at an angle to make themselves seem bigger than they are.

It is the same concept as when people brag a lot about how good they are at something when they are not.

Sometimes, if you can appear to be a certain way, you can derive some of the benefits of actually being that way without actually being that way.

In other words... some people are full of sh*t.
