RE: Oops You Showed your true colors! A lesson for Steemians
Do you know Niccolo Machiavelli?
He wrote a book about power and how leaders behave or should behave to be successful. Napoleon and Hitler were big fans. There was the concept of the 3 faces of a leader.
The humanitarian (sheep) face for your people.
The brave face (lion) for your friends/allies.
The fearsome face (wolf) for your enemies.
Many people hate on Nico because they see it as an instruction for dictators. In reality it is more of an empiric analysis of power and how to get it.
Only book I ever bought and read was "the prince" by Machiavelli :3
His concepts from "the Prince" can applied in every day life - and should be, to some extent - in order to be successful in life. At the very least it pays off to familiarize oneself with the concepts, in order to protect oneself from psychopathic, and no doubt, smart people, who would otherwise exploit other people.
you are exactly right. People just got to butt hurt about the true nature of power. They often describe what they want power to be, but they fail to see how power has been for the last 4000 years and ongoing ;)
