Ooh don't mention the word "leader" near him. It's his trigger. He'll think you're referring to yourself and begin sprouting nonsensical things and using "gobshites" as a coping mechanism.

Jester slow claps for VVheeler. 
 

“Well said my friend. Both perspectives of this conflicted wee presented, even if they weren’t willing.”
 

“I agree with you -I’d say purging didn’t happen because things got to this point.  However, given the savageness of what’s occurring - I have to fear for the future of our thing. Good luck, and we’ll wishes to those that still care. Hopefully you may all make the mafia great again!!””

Hey whambulance you are another one using the term "everyone" loosely. If anything, the keen on these shores know after quite a few thousand  durdens and the lengthy peaceful time, war was inevitable. As a matter of fact, a war was being planned. The flying circus beat them by one day. I am respected enough to recently be informed of that planned war (with proof) as it was me and my people they were going to attack. 

Carry on. I am being entertained.

Darkening stood back in the shadows, choosing to rather appear invisible than anyone take notice of him. He heard a lot of young individuals speaking their mind on what the reasons of this war were. He heard the word purging come up mostly. This made him chuckle. He pulled out a chicken nugget and had a bite of it. CRUNCH. The crowd went silent and turned to face Darkening. Darkening's awkward smile was covered by the shadow of his hood. His bodyguards weren't as hidden as they all stepped out of the shadows to stand between Darkening and the crowd. Darkening cleared his throat.

"Purging? Sure, it happened. But as for reasons, consider purging as the tip of the iceberg."

Darkening stuffed the rest of his nugget in his mouth and walked off with his bodyguards in tow.

I dunno, I think every regime has done things which onlookers will call purging.  The degree of which varies and unfortunately the ones that do it the least will almost always perish.  
 

will this new group that have made an assault for control of the mafia crime world be less purgy than the ones that have been in power? I highly doubt it. I guess time will tell.

Johnny sees people arguing about why this whole mess started and gives them the real reason for this mess.

"Let me tell ya bout why we got dis war goin on.  Some boy dem, dey pon de corner an' ting, an... de boy dem sell some tings and ting, an... I gwa'an, an' I say... oh, dem nah wan' gimme my money an ting. An'... every corner my corner an... I want my money an' ting, ya know? Ah no see dat! Go, go, ya know, me wan' deal with de case proper. Ya nah see it?"

Hey, AlwaysBeingPurged, you look familiar. Have we met?

So if its wrong why are you guys doing it? 

Well first off, we are not.  Our franchise has only been in existence since the war started, and we are not quite in any position to purge anyone.  But as to why, as I stated on another corner, taking out perceived threats before they can do harm onto you is really the only sound strategy out there.  It sucks, but I've yet to hear anyone offer an alternative one that makes sense .

You can only beat a dog so long before he bites. The most baffling thing about this all is how many are surprised. When you've been beat down for so long you only have two options, quit the life of crime for good, or rank up and do something about it. They chose to do the latter.

But as to why, as I stated on another corner, taking out perceived threats before they can do harm onto you is really the only sound strategy out there.

Oh the irony FrizzleFry. Your enemies took out a perceived threat before it could cause them hard, yet they are purgers, but when you do it it's the only sound strategy. Sounds like a case of do as I say, not as I do. I think the real reason for your attack was the unprecedented peace the cities were experiencing. You didn't like that and you sought to bring it to an end. However you don't have the balls to say, 'you know what, we didn't like the status quo, so we decided to upset the apple cart', instead you came up with some drivel about people purging (they weren't) and people standing by letting them purge (they weren't either). Just man up and admit you are a jealous warmonger, and we can all go about our business.
