@BlumeEvolution Ich glaube, die bedauern da nichts. Es ist vielleicht nicht so gelaufen wie geplant, aber #Machiavelli wäre trotzdem stolz auf sie. Was wirklich zählte, war reine Machtpolitik, besonders in den Reihen der #CDU/#CSU. Und da gibt es keine Anzeichen, dass die Rechtsaußen in der Partei verloren haben, im Gegenteil. Die sind so hemmungslos und gegen den Rechtsstaat wie noch nie. Die #AfD ist in deren Augen kein Feind, sondern ein nützlicher Machtfaktor, ein Bösewicht im Wandschrank.
"The first method of estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him." ~ #Machiavelli

I think this is very interesting and important.
The video is about power and why the people in high positions are mostly incompetent. Probably everyone experienced at least a few of the points in their life. The video helps to rethink the political and economical situation a bit more.
Even though modern politics is a hot debated topic, everyone should stay calm.
Maybe I should read Machiavelli.
„Die Menschen verwinden eher den frühen Tod ihrer Kindergeneration als den Verlust ihres angestammten Erbes“.
(Frei nach Niccolò #Machiavelli, „ Il Principe“)

Sorry for yt link. Couldn't get Insidious to work for me today.
#KingsDay find number two. Dutch translation of Il Principe by #Machiavelli. Uplifting literature for modern times, it seems.
Translated from the Dutch Wikipedia page: "The monarch's main occupation was to gain, consolidate and maintain his power." Sounds familiar.
(comment on De heerser)
A major pattern which caused the Roman Empire to decline is identical to what is speeding up the decline of U.S. global dominance, beginning with the Trump regime.

Why Do the Least Qualified Often End Up in Power?
Machiavelli saw it coming centuries ago—and modern psychology backs him up.
This video unpacks the unsettling truth: confidence, charisma, and cunning often outrank competence when it comes to climbing the ladder. From CEOs to politicians, it’s not always the best and brightest who rise to the top.
Explore the dark side of leadership and what it means for you, your workplace, and the world.
