Is it just me, or is the world becoming more and more Machiavellian of late

I saw something that surely @Wu Wei would view as an abomination for even I was aghast seeing this:
Pizza filled Bao buns.

No, as I assume that's Chinese and I only recignize maybe a handful of Kanji, strictly kunyomi, making it a double no for me as I definitely wouldn't know the onyomi for them.

That is just wrong on so many levels

Do I need to yell louder for you to understand

It's you. To quote whoever it was of whatever rank who stood victorious at the Nerumberg trials, had the Allies lost it would have been them getting hanged. The proxy wars and Containment policy of the Cold War, Pol Pot, Iran Contra, MKUltra, Putin's overall reign, Xi's continued consolidation of power, Reagonomics, Iran's Islamic Revolution, the Taliban, I just see the gears of history turning as they largely have. We have more protections and securities than in time's past, but the winner still decides what's right while everybody else is condemned for being just as cuthroat and ruthless. Afterall, the CIA does have a history of creating America's worst enemies.

Wouldn't matter. I still won't understand till I've studied Kanji to some depth. Unless you're stashing away some of the Babel Fish, that is.

So more Machiavellian then

Knowing Kanji may not help, some of the character in Japanese mean something different than they do in Chinese

I believe in the Japanese is

That's the pain of it I keep hearing. One symbol in one country using both the Chinese ams the Japanese meanings.
But that just means it has something in common with English. Live. Live. Which one's which? I don't know, you tell me.

When was it less? Even before the guy was born the general ideas and concepts were utilized by certain types. Mostly those who were ill for one reason or another (against my normal judgements and character I do assume Vlad Dracul III probably had PTSD). Popes and kings have long been plagued with Machiavellian principles, amd for the past few decades or so Roger Stone has been lying and cheating with no regards to the consequences or care of what those with a functioning moral compass think of him.

I first got him mixed up with:

That may be part of the problem, with all these perfumes and colognes and underarm deodorants. The chemicals are causing brain damage.

Naive as it may sound, when I was a boy, SCOTUS was a trusted entity. They were trusted to be true to interpreting the Constitution and to apply those interpretations to cases......Today, some Justices are seen as deceptive.
