YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBefore Machiavelli wrote The Prince, he had a boss, and that boss was Cesare Borgia.
Cesare wasn't just the inspiration behind one of history's most infamous political philosophies, he WAS the philosophy. The word "Machiavellian" reflects his coldness, cunning, and cruelty.
So the next time someone quotes "it's better to be feared than loved," they're really quoting a 15th-century power player who made the Italian Renaissance look like a crime drama.
