This is the only acceptable answer

''All of the other people have committed crimes, the Jews are the only ones who have boasted about committing them. They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.''

omg Voltaire is like LITERALLY HITLER wtf!!!

Mussolini is our guy

''You have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables, in bad conduct and in barbarism. You deserve to be punished, for this is your destiny.''

>When evening comes, I return home and enter my study; on the threshold I take off my workday clothes, covered with mud and dirt, and put on the garments of court and palace. Fitted out appropriately, I step inside the venerable courts of the ancients, where, solicitously received by them, I nourish myself on that food that alone is mine and for which I was born; where I am unashamed to converse with them and to question them about the motives for their actions, and they, out of their human kindness, answer me. And for four hours at a time I feel no boredom, I forget all my troubles, I do not dread poverty, and I am not terrified by death. I absorb myself into them completely. And because Dante says that no one understands anything unless he retains what he has understood, I have jotted down what I have profited from in their conversation and composed a short study, De principatibus...

I'm white and don't understand why white people like mayo so much. I fucking loathe the shit, it's only good in specific applications and really alternatives like hollandaise are better in those situations.

Mussolini is a Veeky Forums guy

Macchiavelli was dope as fuck, doesn't deserve his bad rap.
>The Prince was most likely scathing satire and people think he wrote that sociopathic shit unironically when he was actually making fun of people like that, because they learned about him in high school

Not a satire but reading the content it's not that bad just realistic.

I'm at a point where I don't even care about the content of his works. I read them because they're a fucking delight to the eyes.

>One such commentator, Mary Dietz, writes that Machiavelli's agenda was not to be satirical, as Rousseau had argued, but instead was "offering carefully crafted advice (such as arming the people) designed to undo the ruler if taken seriously and followed."[64] By this account, the aim was to reestablish the republic in Florence. She focuses on three categories in which Machiavelli gives paradoxical advice:

>He discourages liberality and favors deceit to guarantee support from the people. Yet Machiavelli is keenly aware of the fact that an earlier pro-republican coup had been thwarted by the people's inaction that itself stemmed from the prince's liberality.
>He supports arming the people despite the fact that he knows the Florentines are decidedly pro-democratic and would oppose the prince.
>He encourages the prince to live in the city he conquers. This opposes the Medici's habitual policy of living outside the city. It also makes it easier for rebels or a civilian militia to attack and overthrow the prince.

It's definitely not a satire. It's a theory for people who haven't read it

You have to understand his bio and the deep meaning of chapter 13 of Il Principe to get that he wasn't satirical.

Machiavelli was a little senile at the point and he really wanted Italian unification after the first ''Wars of Italy''. He was rooting for the high school bullies because there were bullies from college wrecking his school and raping his onetis.

Gas yourself. Maybe the truth of the matter is he saw (rightfully) that people are shit and that you need to reign them the fuck in

>dat pic

kek'd heartily

Lots of trading city states meant there was no overarching political authority over all of Greece that could easily punish someone for saying something that upset the social order. This is why so many were exiled rather than executed. Patricians were more or less free to be patrician.
