Added: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Machiavelli knew a truth that will ruin your day.

[00:00:04]Kindness is often just a down payment on betrayal. [music] He said it plainly, "Men will hurt someone they [music] love before someone they fear."

[00:00:15]Why?

[00:00:16]Because love is held by a link of obligation, which, since men are wretched, is broken at every opportunity for their own advantage.

[00:00:25]But fear?

[00:00:27]Fear is maintained [music] by a dread of punishment, which never fails you.

[00:00:33]Stop trying to be the good guy in a room full of wolves.

[00:00:37]Being loved is a gift they can take back.

[00:00:40]Being feared is a boundary [music] they can't cross.

[00:00:44]If you want to survive, stop asking for permission >> [music] >> and start demanding respect.

[00:00:51]Are you a leader or a victim?

[00:00:53]Choose one.

[00:00:55]Drop a wolf if you're done being the prey.
