Lol you failed to read the subtext and thus truly understand the text if all you got from the prince was realpolitik.

Clearly,you have not read the Analects.
It's more like
>The master said: It is better to follow the rites and have nothing than to disobey the rites and have a thousand oxen. For the rites are more precious than the brighest jade encrusted in the largest diamonds.
For a billion pages.

I like that he is essentially postulating a whole new morality, throughout the book.

Probably not, but it was a pretty controversial thing to say back when the commoners romanticized the retarded inbred """"nobility"""". It's essentially like reading up on glownigger black ops and political scandals in the current day. It's hard to believe elites are so deceitful and vicious. Such was the view in Machiavelli's time.
