" War cannot be avoided. Only postponed to the benefit of others. " - Niccolo Machiavelli

@joshgellis3292 Год назад

I like the quote, really- I do, I don't 100% agree with that though. It depends on the definition of 'war'. Ergo: "Kill them with _kindness_ ." Imagine IF someone tries to steal your car- but you have a spare thousand dollars and offer it!? There's a possibility that otherwise thief might walk away- Well... of course if the potential thief doesn't though, I'm fine with shooting and/or calling 911 on the thief.

"Do not see the world as it should be, see it as it is." I wish I had learned and accepted that earlier in life. We tend to be idealistic in our younger years and wish that things operated in the "correct" manner. Stop looking at the world in terms of how you think it should work and work within the framework of how it IS.

The interesting thing about Machiavelli is he preferred to use history rather than lofty ideals as some philosophers might do in his theories. History gives examples and he studied these examples to make his arguments. He proved the genuine value of history and showed how it can be used.

One thing we should add, is that one should never, ever, ever be hated. One can be feared, but that fear must breed respect begrudging or not. Fear prevents actions against you. However, hatred and fear breeds rebellion as the penalty for resisting you is seen as preferable to life under you. Ensure that whatever action you take, you never breed hatred. Never be arbitrary, never act overtly unjust, never take any action which can result in you being hated, and if you have to, always ensure that someone else takes the fall for it. Though act cautiously, as if anyone figures out, those who work under you, may also turn to hate you. Basically, don't act dirty just for the sake of acting dirty.

If some hates you that means you've already defeated him or her. This is written in the Japanese proverbs of ancient wisdom. But that's for you to decide. Me I could give a poop of who hates me, cause it's better that I'm the one hated rather than me hating them or whoever. When you hold hate inside you all bottled up it is so toxic inside and this turns into terrible sickness for your own health, it can make you obeast. No offence but anyone will hate you just because you exist but didn't even do anything wrong to anybody, it's just the stupid hate they have over you that your still alive and ok.😳😳😳😳😳👼👼

@clownplayer7265 Год назад

In turn, I think more than feared, you must yearn to be respected. Love is something for selected ones, fear is a tool to avoid being attacked, hate however is only for the ocasional 1 or 2 people who are too isolated to harm you. Respect however is something you must get as much as you can. If you stand your ground and balance compassion and ruthlessness correctly then even people who might not like you will not try to harm you either, or at least would think twice to do that.

I could've learned from this guy. I tried to tackle inefficiency and bullying in my new management role. Boy was I wrong and while I may won the hearts of some of staff, management was surprisingly opposing even though they asked in the interview how I would resolve their issues. If I just kept to myself and pretty much did nothing, I would've made it through the ranks but I wanted to be a hero for someone. I also learned to never ever change anything when new even if the majority seems to agree with you. It's a dog world out there. The managers that knew how to lie and play the popularity game made it far......it's sad but goes along what this guy is saying: play the game that is being played even if it's wrong otherwise you won't succeed....... I recall asking my son to always share and let other kids go in front of him when they were trying to get to the front of the line. My dad told me to stop as no one else does. Play nice only if others do

It depends very much on what your goals are. If your goals are centered on success in the world the Machiavelli has useful advise. However, you value your soul and your eternal destiny, then much of what Machiavelli advises is unwise for "what does it profit a man if he should gain the whole world but lose his immortal soul".

@clownplayer7265 Год назад

I think the quote itself can have a much more positive interpretation. "If you want things to be good, you need to prepare yourself to do what must be done." Never execute innocents nor try to make an evil utopia alright, but something as simple as self-defense from a dangerous criminal might ocasionally result in taking a life. You don't advocate for vice nor go in your way to ruin lives, but you must not be soft against people who want to destroy you one way or another. Or as an old saying from someone I don't remember, well, can't remember the exact words but it goes like this: "Always talk about diplomacy while carrying a big stick."

he also made a point about how it's easier to conquer a state with an entrenched noble class, as you can sway the nobles to your side, but harder to hold onto this state, as these same nobles may turn against you. On the flip side, it's harder to conquer a state with appointed bureaucrats and regional governors, as these bureaucrats are loyal to the incumbent regime, but once you've prevailed, and appointed your own bureaucrats, it's easier to hold onto.

@reckszkingzactivitiesrkat.4134 2 года назад

Yep Machiavelli was correct “the ends always justify the means📚” it doesn’t matter how you need to get things done more time we just do what ever is effective, energy cost effective & recourse cost effective to achieve our f*cking goals. The real world isn’t Disney land you gotta be brutal when needed to make a statement, there’s a time & a place for Solomon’s philosophy on dealing with the events in the world when you come across them but more time now it calls for you to boss up completely ✅.

Machiavelli was a genius authoritarian, but only a genius in that way. He wrote his book and targeted his philosophy at kings and leaders as a way to encourage them to have greater authority, more control, and more power. This era was an era of war and colonialism and the world was governed by corruption and fear was a speciality of the bureaucracy while the masses were uneducated and uninformed. His ideas may work in war, but in everyday life or leadership or business, we should not desire to do harm and act in a manner applicable to war.

Most comments here seem to praise Machiavelli. You need to balance that with the consideration that he was a man of his times. Power games in those days carried a lot more severe consequences if your power was undermined or taken away. You could be put to death for aligning yourself with the wrong people or belief. Machiavelli wrote his book as a kind of guide to those close to power looking to advance themselves. Nowadays there are people living towards a Machiavellian persuasion who don't even know who Machiavelli was - politicians, bankers, lawyers. These institutions are by their very nature inclusive and extremely protective of their financial activities across the globe. Todays Machiavellians are the elitists, subtly manipulating regulations to better suit themselves. As far as us ordinary folk are concerned, Machaiavellian teaching is mostly immaterial. Unless you happen to be extremely ambitious and looking to change the world.

Hate when people say "It is better to be feared than loved" presuming the caveat is "both are desirable".. it's literally the last part of the sentence which is "but NEVER HATED".

This advice is pure dark psychology coated with unoffensive words. Strange, these things are clear and I can easily see through ones bullshit now that I heard it all. It would be easy to not be disrupted with a bossy person from hereon out.

Its not talking about fear necessarily ...ffear breeds rebellion and mistrust...it talls about respect. If you cant choose between live and respect,choose respect becauae its better.

Il Principe is a good read, but he let's go off all pretence in Discorso. He was a general bad guy to be fair and the Prussian King Frederich II (a few centuries later) wrote his anti-Machiavell because of it.⬅again a good read.

That's why he said if possible both because he knows in some cases love can be used as a tool. But in most cases fear gets the job done. Most people go to work out of the "fear" of losing something

But I also felt like I was watching a video made by a student for a project at school, lol you discussed it with not much enthusiasm which is actually quite oddly refreshing for me? I dunno maybe because I've seen to many videos like this with the same formula for narrating. But otherwise, very direct and easy to understand.

I'm a nobody, and my advice to the world is to treat others like how you want to be treated. Be fair, and don't be evil.

@johntd4885 4 года назад

Abdeladim Jay Jawad Jawad That will only bring you pain. Treat others how they deserve to be treated, ( just respect ) because your own desires, values, and morals more than likely won't match with others. I learned this the very hard way. I grew up hearing that line and tried to live by it, I want to a champion street soldier dealer fighter artist that would be there to lend a hand to everybody; in work, in battle, in celebration, in finance, ... that stupid saying contradicts life in general and I wish I never learned of it. For instance, treat others how you want to be treated. I want good health, money, stability in life, family and friends I can count on when I'm down or up. you can't treat everybody to that. That will only lead to you to be taken advantage of. Trust is earned and not given. The saying could be further from the truth, Confuscious now sounds like a bastard communist. Treat all others with extreme caution, for they can take all that you have. I want to be able to get a cash loan when I need one, should I just go give out loans to others? I want to be a man of my word, should I be believing everybody's else's word. 38 years on this earth, only to realize so much of it consist of compost !
