Machiavellian victory

A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.

It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.

victory plan

A plan you make the morning after passing out due to consuming vast quantities of coke (or other drugs) and then having a dream that outlines the plan. Usually (but not always) made by a comedian-turned-politician.

Person 1: Hey, you realize your 200-page master's thesis is due this evening?
Person 2: Yes.
Person 1: I see you've only written 5 pages so far, RIP.
Person 2: Don't worry I made a victory plan today, it will be finished in 2 hours.
Person 1: lol

Person 1: Why did you accept that MMA fight with a 1000 pound polar bear, surely you don't think you can win?
Person 2: I made a victory plan, no worries.
Person 1: lol ok

Thumblin to victory

When you know you are texting something that will not end well, but you still do it as you think it may work out or you do not want it to.

As Angelina began her reply to Anton she was aware that she was thumblin to victory. It was ugly, but she became liberated from that bastard Anon who livestreamed him getting his mail.
