Most overlook Machiavelli's heart. But he says below that certain political necessities are not only "cruel" but "miserable". We should "flee" rule if we can. But if we can not, we must be effectual, not pious. Conversation feat (ckwise from top left @henry @naomiii @kugusha.eth @tldr @chandresh.eth)
