Read the book bro, that’s not at all what he argues
What does he argue?
I think it was originally meant to be satire? I could be misremembering though.
No, I’m literally asking what he says; I’ve not read Machiavelli.
There’s one dude saying “that’s what Machiavelli said!” then another saying “no it isn’t you cockforest” and now you saying that what he said is satirical.
But what did he say?
