Why do people hate Leopold Strauss in RD2?

>>717623738 (OP)
he lived off giving people loans

>>717623738 (OP)
because tricking people into giving you their money is worse than killing, cheating and stealing, chud

>>717624114
It's not tricking they can always say no to his loans and not take one in the first place

Rampant murder and stealing are okay if you fish and tip your hat to m'lady in the saloon n shit
Strauss didn't fish or carry bucket across camp so he evil

>>717623738 (OP)
the "interest" part

>>717623738 (OP)
Herbert said it best

>>717624218
usury is evil

>>717624620
Then don't take the loan if you hate it

>>717623738 (OP)
the main reason why is because he never let anyone default, deferment, or make a repayment plan for their loan. Instead he resorted to strongarm tactics that only endangered the client and as shown with one client, being the result of their passing.

to put it simply. Leopold Strauss cared more about money then people.

He's easily the least bad person in the game

Strauss was one of the few productive people in the camp and didn't go batshit insane about "just one more loan Arthurr, TRUST ME", he's alright in my book

>>717625043
This anon makes sound argument, but we are talking about a group of bandits here, it's always about the money and survival with outlawed criminals

>>717624864
Why?

>>717625043
>kills two dozen train guards who had wives and children for a stack of bearer bonds
>but it's Strauss who cares more about money than people

>>717623738 (OP)
growing up is realizing that Pinkertons were right

>>717625161
>it's always about the money and survival with outlawed criminals
You missed the bigger picture. Dutch's gang was never a gang that was all about money. It was about the people and the land

>>717625290
you shouldn't want help someone (give a loan) and expect something in return (interest)
You should do it without expecting to gain anything because you care about them.

>>717625469
>you shouldn't want help someone (give a loan) and expect something in return (interest)
Why?
>You should do it without expecting to gain anything because you care about them.
Why can't I do it because it helps them and them repaying me with interest helps me back

>>717625469
>you should care about total strangers who will gleefully take everything you have, including your life, and then spit on your corpse because you dared run out of things for them to take
then you wonder why socialism never works

>>717623738 (OP)
Because he's clearly a kike. They can give him a german name all they want they're not fooling anyone.

>>717623738 (OP)
The loans are predatory. Given to people specifically that can't pay them back and that's before an unreasonable amount of interest is added on. It's fleecing people.

>>717625634
>>717625635

>>717625690
>Given to people specifically that can't pay them back
Clearly they can pay them back since your missions involve getting the money back.

>>717625417
True.

>>717623738 (OP)
With normal loans you can file for bankruptcy and the debt goes away. You can do this 10 or so times before the banks cut you off like Trump.
But you can't file for bankruptcy on student loans. Even if you're homeless and starving to death.

Also this completely ignores that the cost of tuition has exploded. Boomers could pay for college by waiting tables on the weekend.
Even with a high paying STEM job it takes years to pay back the loan these days. Which keeps people from doing other things like starting a family or buying a house.
And god forbid you get a degree in something that's not in demand. You'll end up flipping burgers, completely unable to pay the loan as the interest builds.

>>717625373
correct, Arthur is not a good man and he has a messed up sense of right and wrong, being raised by a gang and all. Arthur justifies stealing the bonds as "taking from the rich", which also covers killing those that are hired to defend that money.

also he has the option to spare some guards that already surrendered.

>>717625701
>Why can't I do it because it helps them and them repaying me with interest helps me back
>this is obviously a Jewish thing to say
yeah, altruistic Nazis want everyone to suffer and starve in the hope maybe one rich guy gets caught in the flames of the cities they burn down

>>717625912
forgot to add: the usury bothers him specifically because its preying on poor vulnerable people who can't defend themselves

>>717625912
Good man my ass. Arthur was a mass murderer just like the rest of them. He just had a change of heart because he was dying and afraid of going to hell. Need i remind you that he ended up dying for beating a sick man to death over a couple of pennies.

>>717625886
damn youd have to be a fucking idiot to get a student loan then, why do they do it?

>>717625991
well they certainly don't want to give our predatory loans

>>717626013
speedreader-kun..

>>717625469
I agree but because of our BITCHconomy, inflation means that when you pay back the loan it's actually cheaper so you would be losing money if people gave you back the exact same amount after years, not saying interest rates aren't insane though

>>717626076
because they're not just fucking idiots, but fucking idiots who believe they're entitled to live in a world where everyone else is more idiotic than themselves

What would Piccolo have to say about the events of RDR 1 and 2?

>>717625912
Okay but I'm not talking about ARTHUR I'm talking about gamers

>>717625732
You're often just taking trinkets and valuables rather than hard cash to cover the cost of the loan. It's 'legal' robbery.

>>717623738 (OP)
There's a reason why the devil loves his contracts.

>>717626076
student loans are predatory. of course some teen, whose entire world up to that point is school, is going to take out money to continue school and not "fall behind".

>>717625886
Which is why I have no issue with student loan forgiveness.

>>717626701
In Europe its drilled into you that loans are bad

With how some of you talk about RDR2, it feels like you just wanted a game where you played Micah instead of Arthur, wanting to be a full villain instead of a very conflicted man

>>717626892
>expel the jewry 109 times
>ancestral reconning of loans and interest

>>717626076
Because it's still the best way to get a good job. It's just a bigger gamble than people realize.
If you don't go into it with a plan, a good idea what you want to do with your life, and a sensible degree that's gonna pay off, you'll end up in trouble.
And most kids come out of highschool having no idea what they want to do with their life. They go to college because everyone told them they should if they want a good job. They don't think about the loans because they assume this is normal and it will all work out in the end. But then they realize they can't handle the coursework or their true calling never came to them and they end up working at Costco.

>>717626892
Probably why you're no longer the world superpower

>>717623738 (OP)
Usury is evil as are kikes

>>717625701
>I shouldn't be rewarded for helping someone
nah

>>717625373
don't forget guns down countless lawmen and townsfolk in missions with zero remorse but we're supposed to feel bad about beating someone up for a loan?

>>717626540
then clearly they had means to pay it back

>>717627157
Why is it evil?

>>717627369
idk lol I was just kidding

>>717626076
because otherwise you will be like me working in a sawmill for 40k a year pulling greenchain until you need rotator cuff surgery. don't forget to volunteer for overtime on weekends and swing shifts or you can't graduate up to being a forklift wagie.

seriously, what do you expect people to do? you have to go to college if you don't want to work scary manual labor with a bunch of deadbeats at 5am for at least five years before you get into a comfy spot that finally pays entry level wages for a college grad.

>>717627302
they all do
even the black lung bitch boasts that he gave his entire loan to charity because he's dying anyway and making Strauss promises he has no intention of being alive to keep is how he's decided to good deed his way into heaven

The gang constantly moving around wasn't conductive to loansharking where you get your claws into someone and basically take his pay every week to make the interest payments. Thus they had to resort to robbing them and stealing their valuables instead. Strauss would have been better off living alone in a bigger city like saint denis (though that would be hard with Bronte controlling crime in the city) and Arthur popping by once in a while to do some intimidation and example making.

>>717626936

>>717627816

>>717627894
he knows Arthur is likely going to kill him anyway so I don't think he had a choice.

>>717627816
i don't know if you remember what happened when the online launched, but it was pretty much exactly that.

>>717623738 (OP)
Because you, Arthur, are forced to help Strausse, a jew. You have to do his missions. That aside, it's during one of his missions that Arthur catches TB.

Shalom

>>717628313
>You have to do his missions.
no you don't you only ever have to do the TB one you can ignore the rest

>>717628501
is it bad if I did them voluntarily and enjoyed them more than most missions?

An albino cougar pelt, which is obviously rare and worth a lot more. I just looked it up b/c of this post and the Strawberry butcher paid $41.80 for it!

>>717628049
You find him camping near the cave to begin with, so the pelt was his big plan to pay the debt back. The campsite is there from the get go but the game only adds the NPC if is the mission is active.

Because you're enslaving someone in the guise of helping, taking advantage of their position for the express purpose of making money.
This is in addition to it being a lazy, unproductive way of making gain, similar to rent seeking.

But they were able to

>>717629039
>Because you're enslaving someone in the guise of helping, taking advantage of their position for the express purpose of making money.
Okay but think of how much worse their life would be if they never took the loan.

>>717627369
Because those money lending kikes know damn well that the people who they're loaning money to don't really have an alternative, nor do they typically have the opportunity to turn that money into more money in the nearby future.
If you need money to feed your kids or rebuild your house, you lose it, simple as. But you cannot simply say "Oh well, I'll just let my child starve to death then".

These people need some kindness in the form of a gift, not a loan.
If kikes wanted to "help" these people as they sometimes claim, they could have gifted them the money. Instead, they chose to ensnare them like helpless victims and suck them dry, much like a spider sucking the juices out of its victim's corpse.
The fact that jews historically went after the most vulnerable people with their schemes lays bare their vile nature, and makes it all the more obvious why they've been expelled from nations so many times.

>>717629132
You're not gonna be paying off anything with interest rates that high.

>>717629291
I'm now remembering that the only reason student loans exist as they do now is because Ronald Regan wanted to suppress college educated kids due to the Vietnam protests. A number of public colleges were free prior to his meddling.

Our current system is all a con from top to bottom.

>>717623738 (OP)
Except the loan has (((interest))) so you're paying more

only poor people have to pay back their loans. its quite curious.

They all just want to shuffle around the old employees who don't need any training.

>>717629360
Interest free loans are an acceptable way to help people.
Jews and muslims give those to their own people.

>>717629987
yeah yeah, it's actually the yearly rate of the remaining principal. that's just bullshit to try to trick people and everyone knows it, they could easily multiply it by 19⅓, but if people saw the interest they actually had to pay was 116% and not "6%*" no one would fall for that shit

>>717630358
>Interest free loans are an acceptable way to help people.
Why is interest bad?
>Jews and muslims give those to their own people.
You know muslims invented a way to charge interest without it being called interest because interest free loans are that retarded

>>717629894
Because the jews were fleeing from the last place they were kicked out of with the gold they stole and then went to poor lands to fleece those people before getting kicked out again

>>717630538
How was it stolen? A deal is a deal

>>717630506
>muslims invented a way
it's literally just not charging interest lmao

>>717630538
This doesn't explain why the Christians didn't help. After all, they're explicitly commanded to give generously.
Sounds like a moral failing...

>>717630609
>it's literally just not charging interest lmao
Wrong Jews and Muslims don't do loans they do "investment with a guaranteed return" as their way of doing a loan without interest, like sorry you don't know any economics but modern day Jews and Muslims do have ways of charging Interest without calling it Interest

he is a jew

>>717630757
sorry retard, banker here, they literally just can't recieve or be charged interest on these types of loans or accounts

Gentile loans were allowed, they just weren't allowed to charge interest. Usually what happened in medieval Europe where these laws existed is that you'd be expected to pay back your loan late and pay a late fee. If you paid it back on time you'd get blacklisted from that bank and any other they communicated with.
Frankly, I just find it more funny than anything that Jews were more than happy to say "yeah, extorting people is part of our religion". Don't be too coy, I'm not really a big fan of any religion, but Christians are far, far more charitable than Jews because it's a core tenant of their faith. And to more directly answer your question: people helped by kicking them out of the country. It's better than killing them.

>>717631318
The "work" is the opportunity cost paid for me not having the money while you have it. I could use my money on other investments to make more but instead I'm loaning it you you so I need to be paid back for the money I'm missing out on by you getting it

alternatively, don't be a jew about it

that's fine, the inference is that these people weren't in mortal danger until they took the loan, heeb

It's kinda funny how they managed to pass jewish usury as german.

>>717631976
truly

>>717631894
They should have said no to the loan if they didn't plan on paying it back

>>717631580
Because it is. I never said otherwise. That said, usury is a specific word meaning extremely high interest rates. We know the practice happened but we have no idea what kind of fees were charged. I'm sure it was high enough to qualify for the term though, big loans were usually being given to the government itself or the church or something and they could afford to pay high fees (or just default on it and tell the lender to kick rocks).

>>717626076
Its almost like their parents constantly told them they need to go to college to be successful. Why is it always when student loans get brought up some dumbfuck make's dumb fucking posts like this.

>>717632107
>That said, usury is a specific word meaning extremely high interest rates.
There's the trick.
Usury's definition softened over time as more people started looking toward the practice to make gain. It once meant loaning money at ANY interest, which is condemned by most major religions.

Greed really is the great evil of our age.

But wanted the high school just cause me money to attend and then it gave me anything valuable for making money or getting a job afterwards meanwhile the company was tricking me with humongous interest loans that are not meant to be actually paid back high so despite my high natural intelligence because my family is middle class on even lower I'll never be able to move forward into workplace meanwhile nepotism got some rich teenager who didn't need to take out a loan to go to college and got easy classes because a dad's work connections is going to get farther and the wage got and wealth inequality is increasing ? How is that fair when that's the way it's designed in many things with student loans and paying them back?

>>717626076
It's the same age demographic that people get to go to war and potentially die for a paycheck, and you think there aren't a few dumb kids that will take a usurious loan at that age? Bad deals and scams are always targeted at the very young or very old.

>>717632429
>Is it really greed?
It is because the interest is not attached to reasonable rates. And most of the times the banks don't even bother vetting whether people could pay it back, and they don't have to because they can use the law to fuck you over with no recourse.

then "predatory loans" shouldnt be problem, people by your own admission, should know to say "thanks, but no thanks" when someone offers them one.

I really don't understand how the US is still a world superpower, the only reason no one took them down from the pedestal is their previous century's momentum and that everyone else is worse in every way

Imagine giving money away to people, and then expecting them to give it back.
How stupid do you have to be?

>>717624620
Then don't take a loan, retard. You get x amount of money at once, which you then proceed to slowly pay back with said interest. Holy fuck, the amount of dumb cunts in society is staggering.

>>717625043
>to put it simply. Leopold Strauss cared more about money then people.
To make money, you have to move the line of what's reasonable, its either that or sheer luck. Nobody got rich from being a good person.

>>717628819
>as well off as someone who paid
depends. if they get a shitheel degree, yeah they simply wasted their money and you're better off just gaining experience. but you're delusional if you think you're better off than most stem nerds. both my buddies from highschool clear a pretty typical high five/low six figures and work from home pretty often. that's just an obviously better deal than working blue collar for peanuts. 5 years blue collar these days will push you up to the 50-60k range starting from the bottom rung and busting your ass. going to college, if you choose the right degree, will put you above that almost immediately while you sit in an air conditioned office.

you sound like you want to be on a high horse about not having a degree. if i were you i wouldn't do that. i used to do the same thing and it's a really petulant attitude to have. student loans are a scam but a necessary one if you want a 1st world tier standard of living and aren't a trust fund kid or really lucky with getting into a lucrative trade.

>>717623738 (OP)
I sort of took it as everyone else is doing physical labor or putting their bodies on the line for their money while Strauss just writes loans and then sends other people to enforce them. The ladies are cooking, cleaning, whoring, or stealing. Guys are hunting, thieving, stealing, robbing, etc. I felt like he was not respected due to how he contributed, but realistically I don't think anyone would actually care too much.

I don't remember, is it Arthur who throws him out after he gets sick? Or is he thrown out by someone else? I beat the game at release and don't remember that detail.

Much like high school, I didn't engage with the material because I didn't care
>>717637379
Sounds like you're trying to justify blue collar work as the only thing you can do without a degree. I changed careers, I have a certification (took 2 tests) and do IT in an office. I'm not making six figures, but I only have room for growth beyond where I'm at. Competency is the ultimate metric, if you can prove it then you don't need school. In case you didn't notice, every institution, public or private, in this country is looking to suck you dry selling you shit you don't need. If you're smart, teach yourself something. If you need college, do it, but it's the furthest thing from a necessity. I don't ever care to be rich in the first place and probably never will be, but I've carved out a nice job I like in AC and I don't bust my ass doing it. I was a hardheaded cook for 12 years when I cared more about drugs than bettering myself, did renovation contracting too. Please don't tell people it's necessary, it's optional

A majority of these people (primarily women) don't even get jobs related to their degrees when they leave. If they even graduate, which is another matter entirely. Now they bitch about not being able to pay a loan they agreed to pay back while also bitching about how they can't find any employment that meets their over-educated dumb asses. It turns out there is an upper limit to middle managers society needs.

>>717638268
it's necessary IF you want to make a decent amount of money in a decent job as an early 20-something. Sure there are other things you can do, like in your case working your way to a nicer white collar gig via proven skills, but there are entire segments of the economy that are dog-eared for people with degrees. you can't certify your way into higher end medicine, you're probably not gonna be a project lead any time soon, no management positions in general, engineering, comfy state and government desk jobs usually require a bachelors now. tons of, for instance, forestry gigs let you bypass 4 years of working under a certified forester. instead of working in forest productions (swinging a chainsaw 40 feet in the air with 100 lb branches falling all around you) you can simply work 3 years after your degree then get registered. not only that, but you have societal approval at your back. you're fresh out of highschool, you can jump into 4 years (2 at a community college doing general ed to keep it cheap) of education and no one will bat an eye. if you skip, you probably aren't, as a teenager, aware of the independent certifications that you can do, or you may not be interested in them. not everyone wants to do their A+ and go through help desk hell. maybe they want to work as an electrical engineer for the city or be a marine biologist.

sure, it isn't necessary in all cases, but the economy (rigged by jews as it is) will reward a well chosen degree. i was steered away from it for the same reasons you say by my parents and uncles while i watched everyone around me advance in ways that didn't occur to me. even my wifes useless theology degree got her a job in social services that is better than most blue collar stuff. you do people an equal disservice by telling them to skip college, i know first hand, it limits you beyond what you could comprehend when you're young.

They really needed to expand the camp donation feature in RDR2 so that it actually did something.
I would put a lot of my paper money into the donation box all for nothing to happen.
Meanwhile you could upgrade the camps facilities but none of those upgrades had anything to do with the donation box.
What was up with that? Pissed me off.

Killing and stealing is pretty evil
Not as evil as being racist, but still

I worked at a payroll advance store sometime ago and used to be so surprised how stupid people would be to take a loan with such a high interest rate. And then having to pay it back in two weeks and reloan again.

A guy even compared our rates as less than what the mob would expect for you to pay back.

I've since realized I was an accomplish in jewish tricks and apologize to those who could not escape such vile hooked nose shenanigans.

If you have no scholarships, tuition for a few years at a public university will only rack you like 30kish, if you utilize community college for some credits then it gets cheaper
Once you hit a job just live with your parents if it's in the area and you pay that off in like 1.5 years max
