There is so much more to criminal undergrounds in fantastical and other fictional universes.

If you look into the yakuza, you'll actually see that they do a lot of public aide, especially in crisises.
Having some form of favor with the public can actually go a long way for criminal organizations. Iirc you also saw this with al capon's gang as well.
wow great video, i'm surprised this popped up on my home page yet has so little views.
Same happened to me. I’m curious what videos we both watched that lead The Algorithm™️ to recommend this.
Solid video! If you’re open to super minor critiques, I think the video could be improved by refining your audio a bit. Cut out your breaths, leave a little space between stopping one sentence and starting another, cut out the “Ums,” “Ahs,” and phrases like “or something,” “Ya know,” “So…,” etc.
You’re doing great work and making great points, which is the thing most video essayists on TH-cam suck at. Just polish up the video/audio and I’m sure you’ll do great!
@@jacksmith8299 Super minor? I am open to any criticism as long as it's logical.
I know the audio quality is not the best, the quirks of a begginer youtuber :)
I actually used less of those phrases in my previous videos but i try to be more "human" when speaking, people tend to make videos in a certain way as if this is some kind of school presentation. Here i tried to talk to You - the viewer as a normal human being not a college essayist
Another good example of criminal organizations cooperating with government is in WW2. We don’t learn about it in history classes, but there was a very substantial population in the US who were Nazi sympathizers who wanted the US to join the axis instead. When the US entered the war a lot of them shut the fuck up and acted like they weren’t Nazis, but a LOT of them didn’t. There were very real concerns about sabotage and espionage.
At that time the mafia was deeply involved in shipping and most major docks and shipyards were mafia hot beds, and there happened to be a powerful Jewish continent in that mafia.
They cut a deal with the government and worked directly with military intelligence to find and destroy Nazi spy rings using their mafia connections.
In fact Meyer Lansky (known as THE accountant for the mob) organized a brutally effective crackdown that actually ended public pro-Nazi demonstrations on the east coast. Every time the Bund guys showed up there were mafia thugs waiting to break their legs.
Interesting, do you have some resources that i can look up to, to read more about it?
@@lordtea7688 look up his Wikipedia articles WW2 involvement section. Meyer is pretty famous lol
Behind the bastards also did an episode on the fascists who he beat up which is how I learned about him.
Good advice for starting DMs. I'll be keeping an eye on this channel.
This is a really good and useful video! Hadn’t really thought about organized crime in my worldbuilding yet, but now I have an excellent reason to do so!
great video!
