      Also note Bronte has much more power and influence by simply using the threat of force to encourage corruption that benefits him, whereas Dutch is focused almost entirely on dangerous, high profile, old-timey Wild West heists that clearly attract public [newspapers, rumors] and government attention. Dutch's Boys in general are too busy LARPing as if it's the 1860s and reminiscing about the old days to actually adapt their strategy for modern times.

      That was my take on it aswell when I first met Bronte. The duality of it all was pretty striking and I loved it. Angelo to me represents one of the early figures of the Italian American Mafia. The beginning of a new type of criminal enterprise that does not shun civilization and live outside of it but actively embraces it. Something Dutch vehemently detests.

    Red Dead gets a lot of praise but no one ever talks about the set work and shot composition, the way John, Dutch, and Arthur are reduced sitting all little on that couch across from Brontë when they first meet is a hilarious bit of physical comedy begat from the framing. It also highlights Arthur and John’s bewilderment. They’ve been taken off guard, and Brontë is reclined and relaxed - in emotional control of the situation, manipulating Dutch with ease. Video games have a tendency to turn off the part of my brain that appreciates cinematography because most of the game is a static third person view but if I manually pay attention it’s very rewarding and it’s certainly work that the developers deserve praise for

    I remember the introduction to Saint Denis. The pure filth you felt seeing all the factories active, working all the poor people to death. I hated the very sight of it and you could feel Dutch and Arthur feeling the same. I think Rockstar truly perfected the "Wild west" and the civil world in one map. The way the people are so different compared to Tumbleweed or other livestock towns really makes you ponder if humanity ever really changed for the best.

      Modern urban civilization definitely has brought many good things to our species, but it’s undeniably left some irreparable harm to us as well. Lately I’ve been feeling like we aren’t meant for the city living life. When you compare the crime rates, drug abuse rates, and mental health problems between urban and rural living, rural living has a clear advantage. I was raised in a medium sized city in the North East US (250k population) but recently I moved across the country to a much smaller city in the Deep South and now live in a much more spread out area, and I feel a lot better. Less smothered by urban life. It was good for me

    Saint Denis really feels like a bad city even to this day. Saint Denis has a physical taste, smell, and feel that you can feel through the screen. The sounds are garbled through the cranking of industrial gears, the cries of pain, the corruption. While Saint Denis seems at first glance like a world wonder in an old society, the truth is that for the average person, the pay off isn't worth anything. You lose everything in Saint Denis if you're not the exploiter of the people. Rockstar Games did an AMAZING job with making Saint Denis a supposed paradise, but a smog storm in person.

    Dutch is right though. He does possess something Bronte never would or even could understand. Micah Bell aside, his men are 150% loyal to him. He's much more a "king" in the romanticized sense of the word, than Bronte ever managed to be. No one was loyal to Bronte, they were loyal to their wallets and others feared him.

    What i find interesting through all of this is how many people see right through Dutch and his rhetoric except for the people in the gang. The Grays and Baithewaits manipulated him into attacking their rivals, Bronte, who was too powerful to care about Dutch's posturing, saw Dutch as a kindred spirit, but not in a positive way.
    That imo is the significance of the Dutch killing Bronte scene. Bronte figured Dutch was doing what Bronte did and bought the loyalty of his men, keeping them in line with money. And when his offer to pay the gang more than double what he thought dutch does was met with stone silence, he realized Dutch was far more dangerous than he could have anticipated, because he kept his tools in line with faith and you can't buy that out.
    Fantastic story telling bits

    7:05: The reason that Bronte has so many armed guards (and why he's specifically noted as being 'Italian') is because of the real-life history of Late 19th - Early 20th Century New Orleans (which Saint Denis is based off of; Lemoyne being a thinly veiled parallel to Louisiana, my home state).
    More specifically, it's based on the criminal history of New Orleans, which at the time was mostly ruled over by La Cosa Nostra, or "the Black Hand" in English, which was a kind of precursor to the modern-day Mafia and the Crime Families. They got their name from their calling card which they would put on a piece of paper they mailed to the target of their attentions or would paint onto the sides of buildings they were going to target... a black handprint, meaning that they were 'Marked for Death/ Harassment.'
    They often used brutal scare tactics of burning down properties belonging to folks that wouldn't pay their 'Protection' Fee, of mutilating and disfiguring those that had either publicly or unintentionally stood in their way leaving them in a state of agony but not letting them die before showing others what they were willing to do to anybody that opposed them, kidnapping and ransoming children or wives to extort money from desperate family members who didn't want to see their loved ones hurt, and other cruel, exploitative acts to assert dominance over the average citizen and to intimidate those law-enforcement officers who wouldn't play ball and become dirty cops in their employ, by showing them how far they were willing to go.
    In fact, there's some suspicion that the actual serial killer involved in the mysterious 'Axman Murders' of the early 1910s was actually a La Cosa Nostra hitmen sent to assassinate people for either refusing to work with or pay expected fees to the organization.
    The main crux of the arguments was that one of the main suspects at the time was a known associate of la Cosa Nostra, as well as most of the victims being either Americans of Italian descent or Italian immigrants.
