Reading up on the histories of Avignonet and Toulouse, the violent uprisings fared little better than civil disobedience.

If there’s any message here, it’s that localised resistance just results in severe retribution - over 200 cathars were burned two years later in retribution for Avignonet.

Frankly, if this gives credence to anything, it’s Law 15: http://48laws-of-power.blogspot.com/2011/05/law-15-crush-you...

So THAT is where all of the worst managers I've ever had the misfortune of working with seem to have had their mindset built from.

There seems to be some value in there by putting a name to some patterns, but it reads like a psychopath's social manipulation how-to guide.
