Psalms 58
(JPS Hebrew/English Tanakh)
O mighty ones do you really decree what is just?
Do you judge mankind with equity?
In your minds you devise wrongdoing in the land;
with your hands you deal out lawlessness.
The wicked are defiant from birth;
the liars go astray from the womb.
Their venom is like that of a snake, a deaf viper that stops it's ears
so as not to hear the voice of charmers or the expert mutterer of spells.
O God smash their teeth in their mouth; shatter the fangs of lions, O YHWH;
let them melt, let them vanish like water; (a)let Him aim His arrows that they be cut down(a); like a snail that melts away as it moves; like a woman's stillbirth, may they never see the sun!
Before the thorns grow into a bramble may He whirl them away alive in fury.
The righteous man will rejoice when he sees revenge; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Men will say, There is, then, a reward for the righteous; there is, indeed, divine justice on earth.
(a) Referring to the Constitution of Orion (a)

it is much safer to be feared than loved. that actually makes a lot of sense when you give it some thought if a ruler is beloved by his people his enemies will use that fact to assassinate him and use it stir chaos among the nation however if the ruler is feared (Likely in the context of his enemies but also the populace in the case of dissident elements among it) it will not be as likely. And just to not it does not mean you have to be a monster just be intimidating to your enemies or even the undesirables among your own subjects how is up to you you could use brutality or paint yourself as a powerful leader who will not tolerate and dissent or crime directed against him it's up to you how you go about being feared.

For TED-Ed:
You are doing wonders to expand the knowledge of many people.
I don't know which video is the best explaining Machiavelli's lessons of power: OSP talking about him as a history-maker or TED-Ed explaining that he was being realistic and teaching the overly ambitious ways of getting power. This video is an open window to the understandings of political sciences and power struggles.
Thanks for giving us a new opportunity to learn.
P. S.: Does someone know where can I find more reliable information on the mirrors of princes or any way I can get to read other mirrors for princes? I would appreciate any help.

He was very right about the whole commit all your atrocities at once bit. Sun Tzu had a similar piece saying that if you commit needless violence over an extended period, it'll create much greater resentment. Time really can heal all wounds, so sometimes you need to give the defeated more of it so that they don't come back to seek revenge.

If you want to establish Machiavelli's own ideals, then you can not just look at the prince. His discourses is much more representativ and clearly shows his strong believe in the republic as the best form of government

In short, it's about a guy named Machiaveli who wrote a book that's all about greed and power so people started using the author's name for a word that means cunning, shrewed, or unscrupulous
the hands tho

Machiavelli was a true Machiavellian. Only someone like him coulve written the prince. He was a virtuous machiavellian, and that's what enabled him to write a book in favor of everything he despised

Maquiavel was definetly warning people against the evils of the princips.
His name has been tarnished.
No one tortured by the followers of an idiology would willingly defend it.

It is much safer to be feared than loved, but never hated. That last part is left off too often. I'm grateful that high school philosophy teacher assigned The Prince to us to read.

Just sounds like the usual; satirical senses of humor are still rare to catch on quickly. Why are we all still taking ourselves so seriously? We're a silly species.
