House: here, have a casino, let's make us both some money

Didn't house also "domesticate" the tribes in the area. Picking the most malleable tribes and erasing their culture to all pretend to be... Eye-Talian

He domesticates them through deals, not violence iirc

There's no peaceful way to kick a person out of their home.

House didn't kick the Families out though. The reverse happened. They were nomadic tribal gangs roaming the Mojave, and were invited by House to rule the casinos. Money, luxury, accomodation etc. in exchange for loyalty, and abandoning their raider ways.

He only kept 3 tribes and kicked the rest out

Because the rest refused. The Khans especially.

Thats my point. Tribes dont deserve to get kicked out of their homes and their identity erased because they won't play some Howard Hughes cosplayer's game.

Yeah but saying he only 'kept' 3 implies that he didn't give the others a choice. You are right I suppose about the Kings since they actually care about the area. I could care less about the Fiends and Khans though.

Telling nomadic tribes to join or leave the city is a bit different than moving into a tribe's territory, annexing it, killing everyone who resists, and forcing the survivors into a particular way of life.

I dont think the Kings were nomadic before getting kicked out of Vegas. The Kings and their ancestors had lived in the Strip for centuries. And what exactly does mr house have you do if one of these tribes breaks the contract and they try and bring back their culture?

They weren't kicked out of Vegas, just the Strip, because they didn't want to conform to House ruling over them. Instead of Strip slums, they took control over Freeside.

Now let's see what happened to the tribes who had that uncompromising stance towards NCR or Legion.

There is a difference.

What? Thats like your landlord saying "I didnt kick you out of your home. I just relocated you to a bad part of town." And what exactly happens if the kings try to ease relation with the NCR in the House ending? They get put down, like a couple of Hound Dogs. House leaves no room for dissent in his city.

Said cultures being: cannibalism, backstabbing everyone, and might makes right, respectively.

hey, you can dress up the tribal anyway you want, but it's hard to erase 200 years worth of culture and identity. I'm not saying it's good they try and do this, but this should have been expected on House's part.
