FYI An anthropological/sociological functionalist analysis of Los Zeta's execution and torture techniques.

I mean….. yes
Of course
Peeling someone’s face off and then wearing it?

No way would any of these shit pot politicians wanna go against the group which normalises that action.
There’s also the fact that these cartels are responsible for a huge chunk of their country’s GDP.
To take them out is to take a chunk out of your country’s economy and, the economies of other countries.

Violence: the shadow currency which we buy conformity with.
 
thread title was a mouthful
Anthropology was the father of sociology. Anthropology, the study of small populations of humans (thus 'anthrop': human)

Early pioneers in this field were men like Branislaw Malinowsky who was interned in Aus in WW1. Due to his reknown he was allowed to go to the Trobriand Islands up off New Guinea to study the people there. Great stuff about the Kula ring transfers came out of this. He was also fond of giving himself enemas...

During the early years of the 20th century the theories of anthropology were applied to mass populations so we got sociology.

The above article kind of used both social sciences, which are really the same, to attempt to analyse the cartels violence, which is quite over the top really.

A functionalist analysis seeks to find the 'functional' aspects of social behaviour. So if the cartels are using extreme violence and torture what do they hope to accomplish by that? What 'function' does that provide?

shock and awe. the fear. being intimidated. or what could happen to you if you dont comply. which equals power. you show your scared,that gives them the power of fear over you. that enables them to mold and manipulate you any way they want. which at that point,they "own" you. made you their bitch. cooperation. also "i didnt see anything" "i dont know what your talking about"
thats what that "function" provides.

The cartels are a scourge that needs wiping out.
