- verisimi 3y agoThey're all gangsters. All forcibly and immorally extracting wealth from others. But media pretends that some force (the biggest one) is fine, that kings and governance structures (and the people that run them) aren't gangsters. They smear the potential threats to their racket - the abbot in this historical example, or terrorists, rogue states, or whatever. The article is a nice historical example of this process.
