"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce."

I saw this on tumblr and thought it was interesting

Kind of reminds me of the "keeping your enmities closer" thing.

I think of a ruler who's a total douche and takes over everything, but everyone hates him and revolts and he dies. Whereas if he made them like him and made it seem like they were getting what thy wanted, he'd have been fine.

oooo now I'm thinking of the book 1984 which I'm not gonna spoil but READ IT EVERYONE

@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 That book is awesome! I haven't read it but I've seen it summed up!

@JakeTheDog(THB) Reeeaaaaddd it xD

Who wrote 1984 and what's it about?

George Orwell (the guy that wrote Animal Farm) and it's about a negative utopia, which differs from a dystopia. Dystopias tried to be perfect societies but got fucked up, negative Utopias are the most corrupt, fucked up societies that can exist and they are utterly hopeless

It was pretty good

see? ⬆⬆
