What you think is the good old days of bandits: no cameras, no fingerprint comparison, few police forces, slow police dispatch, and it takes a long time to solve cases. The bandits thought it was a good old age: there were no police at all, there was not even a sheriff in the town, they could come and go when they wanted, they rode into the town, shot twice into the sky, and everyone obediently let you bully, there was no gunfight pressure, no risk of death. Not only will the police and detectives not pursue the crime, but they will spread your murderous name everywhere, making you invincible. The West started like this.
As the railway penetrated deep into the interior, the civilized forces represented by ** and the police also invaded, and it was no longer a wild land. That's why Arthur sighed that the times have changed and he has become unable to understand the future. In the past, it was the law of the jungle of bandit rule and inhabitant autonomy, but civilization brought the law of capitalism, where rich people can use money, guns, and power to play with these gangs, and people are no longer trapped in the boring and monotonous town, but flock to the big city, on the one hand, feel the freshness and prosperity of the big city, and try to live a life that has never been there before. On the one hand, Arthur was shocked by the rules and strangeness of this big city, and on the other hand, he watched the gangsters become fewer and fewer, dead and scattered, and everyone knew that the end of the road was over.
I think what Ducky and Mika want is the kind of gang that has the ability to actually "rule" a small town. For example, if I am Ducky or Maika, the gang I led robbed a small town, not that I robbed it and left. Instead, after the robbery, he had to entrench himself in this town to burn and loot for several days, and he was enough to burn down the town before leaving. This is true lawlessness. If you take the game analogy, they are pursuing a model that is more like the wasteland warlords of the nuclear world of Fallout 4.
It's just that Maika is burning, killing and looting, and Ducky will be slightly better, and he will "do the right thing for heaven" in the town according to his own morality. Instead of grabbing and running. Because running means admitting that you can't beat the power of the legal system represented by Pinkerton. In the face of the endless pursuit of the legal forces, they can only hide in the east. And Pinkerton's former rule of law represented by bounty hunters is more like the mercenaries of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The high-level Daqimika are not only not afraid, but also wish to come to the front to pick up equipment for a few more waves to generate income.
The gang that robbed the house naturally did not fall lonely because of the development of the times, and more than a hundred years later, there will still be a ruthless character like the little mute (the little mute does exist in the plot, and the mission on Sissymito Island proves that the big dead man and GTA5 are in the same worldview). But Arthur's way of acting really doesn't work, if you look closely at the gang robbery activities in the game, it's basically all kinds of "recklessness", there are almost no particularly elaborate plans and there are a lot of back-ups, even if it's the menacing mode of the little mute, it's more cautious than this gang. This kind of recklessness worked in the past, because the United States had very little control over the towns in the west, and their independence was very large, and with the backwardness of the judicial system, it was completely possible to rob recklessly.
One town is reckless to the next, and you don't have to worry about the people in the next town saying "Wait, I know you" But after the judicial system came up, it was different, their reckless behavior would not work, wanted warrants could be synchronized in different cities, the police system was gradually improved, and the era of recklessness was over. But it is clear that none of the people in the team will try this "change" and still act according to the original mindset (Ducky's plan actually feels reasonable according to the imperfection of the social system), and they are frustrated at every turn, and finally come to an end.
It's just that in the world a hundred years later, whether it is GTA or reality, there are many gangs that rob houses, but they are generally "refined" a lot. So Arthur "Our time is over", and I conclude that the gang era dominated by the old reckless way of behaving is over.
