Machiavelli was a fukking a$$hole.

Isn't the theory of realism based off this guy?

edit: yeah he wrote The Prince. I'm pretty sure he's one of the main influences of the "capitalist" system we live in today

 

[DarkHorse23]

I find Machiavelli fascinating

He is though, have you looked up the traits? If you follow mbti I think Drake is an ENTP, a type highly correlated with machiavellinism. His outside is soft but I think he's a cold, calculated kid. That doesn't mean he's tough or anything, that just means everything he does is more calculated than people could ever see. How opportunistic was this mixtape with Future?

You kinda got a point. I mean the dude sent bottles to Charlamagne (his biggest media critic) at the height of the Meek beef for crying out loud. Lol who else does that? That was some calculated shxt.

Jayz is the biggest Machiavellian in hip hop history. The only people who come close are Puffy Daddy and Suge Knight in my book.

The majority of these big name business leaders tend to posess Machiavellian traits.

How many stories have you heard about Steve Jobs or Birdman or Henry Ford or Thomas Edison being arseholes?

Drake is well on his way into joining that elite cabal of Arsehole Billionaires.

Tallyrand, Henry Kissinger, Carlo Gambino.

George H.W Bush


Get my drift?

Yeah on the outside looking in thats an easy thing to say. Who knows what personal demons they all had.

 

[Mowgli]

Machiavelli wasnt even Machiavellian. Muse ass nikka.

That would be Adam Smith.

Yeah, the main economic force of society but Machiavelli more so as how man exists within a capitalist system...

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

Of course they did that doesnt change anything.

Yes it does, I can portray myself as one way yet feel another way inside. Everyone does it.

Your thinking of western political theory. Machiavelli is basically the father of that.
