“The men behind me, and the man behind him, and all those men that follow… forever”

Such brutal realism in this scene. After such a hard fought war with Josto, Loy is rewarded by becoming someone else's middle man. History no doubt has countless men and women with a similar story and to see something like those stories being played out in this season was just so demoralizing.

Not to mention after having all that taken away from him, and being humiliated, he gets murdered by Zelmare as his son watches who also goes on to take another mans name.

Yep. All that work, and you’re not even rewarded by moving up. You just move laterally for a different employer.

Josto explained it all to Loy's men in jail. "See Johnny Society looks at me as a fella using crime to get ahead." "But you...all they see is crime." Loy cannot compete with in a rigged game like that.

If Joe Bulo told the Gerhardts the same thing, Season 2 would have been very different.

Is the point that him and his son got pretty similar endings? Both putting in extream work just to get put on a desk at the end

Excellent Scene.

I daresay this is (at least one hard corner) of the coen's theses on america. Encapsulated in one bit

In real life in British Columbia that is why the bikers never picked fights with the Big Circle Boys (Asia). They'd just keep coming. Now Alberta, having jailed the bikers, have to deal with that with the Mexican Cartels: pick one up off the street and another is planted from Mexico immediately, and they just keep coming.

Italian mafia advantage

It is interesting that black people couldn’t organize together in the same manner Italian people did.

No homeland to organize things from afar, a very disjointed diaspora, and a more active repression from the government made the difference.

Josta said it himself. When they look at white people they see a guy trying to get by. When they look at black people they see a criminal.

The Mafia is a continuation of a very old tribal system from Sicily. You can't just make that up in the fly. No Anglo or German lineage gangs formed either because they were stomped out or formed a government seated in Washington.

They looked organized to me that was a nice squad, just wasn’t big enough

This scene puts season 2 in a very different perspective. It feels so pointless, knowing that the Gaerharts were always fighting a losing battle and got slaughtered for nothing.

old man style

Either you swallow your pride and accept it or see about forming your own network.

They just lift lines right out of other movies....
