Machiavelli

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-04 17:35

I came to the conclusion this guy knew what he was on about in "The Prince". Anyone else have any thoughts?

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-05 2:08

The stuff he writes in the Prince is excellent in succeeding as a leader. But don't expect to have any friends at all when you're at the top.

When people who live like that and do things like that finally face old age and coming death, they must be really fucking miserable indeed. "All I've got's a state full of people, every one of whom rightfully hates me because I was the biggest, most horrible faggot of their entire lives." Oh man, that must hurt. A life of intrigue and nerve-wrecking strife for crap nobody likes ain't really worth it, too, I guess.

Being a Machiavellian ruler is like being a million-dollar champion shit consumer, really.

What the fuck does your past life matter when you're going to die in a few days anyway? You'd have to be a huge idiot to worry about that then.

When you're oging to die in a few days, Anon, your past life is ALL that matters. Because you have no future, like. I wonder why you don't know that, are you 15 or 16 or what? Never thought you're mortal, huh? Realised I am when I was maybe 19.

You died at 19? I'm sorry. ;_;

No you idiot, when you're about to die, the few days/hours ahead are all that matters. Because after them you'll be dead regardless. It doesn't matter if your life rocked or sucked or people liked you or not, because whatever they're going to do after your death, you'll not be around to experience any of it. They might build you a statue or piss on your grave, you'll never know and it's completely irrelevant anyway.

This whole nostalgia and clinging to the past shit is why people eventually turn into boring retards at some point in their adult life.

Hm, good point! I didn't write >>5, but when I get old I'll try to avoid being a nostalgiafag.

I don't know why you're so angry; I just don't see how you can be sure you're mortal unless you died.

Tee hee, remember when x was still good?

X was great, it's a shame you don't get good x anymore. Not like it was in my day, now I am old and stuck in my ways and the x that the youth of today are into scares me.

We could show our x to our grandchildren and they'd think it was great too, I don't think the same will be true about the devalued rubbish manufactured x the youngsters are into these days. In my day x was never about making money and people just did it for the love of x, now it's all just about lining the pockects of x executives and x companies.

Sorry, don't need that: you'll crumble on your own when you're 20. Few survive beyond that, like I did, really, and chances are you won't, because that's not very probable statistically, see.

I'm older than 20 and hardly crumbling. And when it comes down to it, we all may be practically immortal, barring terrible accidents. Enjoy your centuries of wasted life.

You are either a 15 year old, or an imbecile. Or, maybe, a woman. Choose for yourself.

Fine, back to the track: Machiavelli was a dull retard who never knew what's best for him.

He wrote a popular book, you wrote a post on 4chon. The end.

Hitler wrote a book, and also happens to be much more "popular" than Machiavelli. He must be your #1 hero.

Seems what you don't know is that whoever mentions the N-word automatically loses the argument, no matter how appropriate the comparison might be.
