the prince, machiavel

The Prince
>but it's just about running a renaissance era principality
That's the area it explores but it reveals so much more about human nature. Machiavelli wasn't just talking out of his ass either, he was a very well-versed scholar of ancient histories and wisdom

Redpilled, very useful, but badly misunderstood.

On the other hand I do like Frederick the Great's Anti-Machiavellil.

Don't forget the technocratic elites using the virus to their Machiavellian ends.

>Machiavelli was only being ironic

Show me what portion of language that this refutes of mine? I never said a film can't be better than a book, did I? But as I believe was obvious, the best of any given so called medium, is what defines it, seeing the exceedingly superior Goethe and Shakespeare to any single film/performance(dust thou take the spectacle of it for tha' thing itself? The Aristotle's would be ashamed!).

You think she likes men who treat her roughly because fortune is like woman after all

>M-Machiavelli was only being ironic
Why do people say this?

>Reading the Prince
>Machiavelli calls me "Your Magnificence"

To what extent does Machiavelli’s Prince belong in the tradition of the medieval ‘mirror for princes’ genre?

>Obsessing over logical fallacies and antivaxxers is definitely not something the average guy does, much less chad.
Theres you & theres a guy you think is a chad (and he himself might think so too).
But theres a guy above that dichotomy that looks at both of them in disgust - and yes, he reads... and yes, he's more powerful than both of them combined.
Educate yourself, stop looking for excuses.
