Fantabulosas 15 January 2026 (The Prince)
The undoing of the Prince is defeat by loss of legitimacy. Princes fall when violence ceases to look necessary and begins to look obscene; when institutions meant to stabilize power instead document its corruption; when cruelty no longer terrifies but clarifies.
In Machiavellian terms, a prince falls when virtù no longer answers fortuna—when adaptability hardens into habit, spectacle replaces judgment, and power becomes performative rather than operative. The prince is undone when he mistakes control for consent and fear for stability.
