Get It How You Get It
I think it is a social commentary on the economic system in the U.S. and on American morality. Snot Boogie was stealing, but that's part of the game.
its self-explanatory. Watch it again.
Exactly. David Simon is an anti-capitalist and the entire show is a criticism of how capitalism has created these conditions for all involved.
I dont get it.
Everybody's gotta eat breh. Dog eat dog society and Snot was just trying to get his. Gotta let dudes try to get their's in America
But this seems contradictory since you have nikkas like Marlo who would murk you before even lettin you try.
That's the point. That's what his man is saying: We'd beat his ass but we'd never take it this far to kill him. Then you have dudes like Marlo who don't want anyone to win but themselves. And if you even think of trying to get some shine, then you're dead. The Wire is a nice allegory for America and how we work as a society from a political level and a socioeconomic level
Marlo was also seen as a break down of the system they had in place. Dude was just a rogue. Even Weebay was in jail talking about how bad things had gotten.
Fred.
Exactly. Every game has rules. Marlo didn't obey those rules
