I'd rather betray the world

cao cao's quote from 2010 tv series three kingdoms
"I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me"
i don't own the rights for any of this

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

Damn they just used this quote on total war's latest trailer.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Wait wait wait, there actually is going to be a Three Kingdoms Total War? Man, I'm a moron, I thought it was just a rumour still. To be fair it's not a series I've been a huge fan of, but that may be one I actually buy.

[@lottenetzel8751]

@@Gg-qx3vo No, I'd rather have a badass cop, like Cao Cao, being someone who's not even potty-trained. Yes, Mao never learned to use a proper toilet, so Stalin had to build him a custom squat toilet when Mao visited Russia.

[@caocaothedeciever]

Personally I've always felt that the Chinese has more room for interpretation than the english translation- that it could also be taken as Cao Cao saying he'd rather play the villain's part in order to better "All under Heaven."

[@dunmill9632]

[@r13hd22]

You mean I would rather betray the world = killing innocents like a butcher is necessary than let the world betray me = to conquer this land No two ways about it. Cao Cao was a butcher. He slaughtered civilians, often.

[@hailkingcerion800]

Richard Depaola jr Was Dong Zhou, Yuan Shao and (after his brothers were killed) Liu Bei any better. No real ruler, especially one that has seen was sensitive ruler beget there country goes on such a path without some blood on their hands. CaoCao might have been a cruel Lord, a crude and callous individual, but he did what Liu Bei and Sun Quan were never ballsy enough to do and that was to make the hard choices that would make the world see you as a tyrant but those who fought with you or for you would see the actions of a hero.

[@r13hd22]

@@hailkingcerion800 Liu Bei did not kill civilians and in fact, instantly instilled Han-Shu laws and ordered his army not to take from the people in order to win their loyalty. Thanks for playing.

[@hailkingcerion800]

Richard Depaola jr Killed no innocents, bruh, he had his adopted son executed. Not trying to start a debate, I am simply stating that no ruler achieved nothing without a little innocent blood.

[@r13hd22]

@@hailkingcerion800 And what did his adopted son do? He betrayed Guan Yu and helped him get killed causing the loss of an entire fucking region to switch sides and join Wu turning AGAINST his adopted father... Again. He did not kill innocent CIVILIANS. Care to try again? I have read both the official records known as the 24 histories AND Romance of the Three Kingdoms...the ONLY written words that can be called "history". You got nothing other than your "opinion" about what you think should have happened, I have the only written histories on my side.

[@Meccaofmanhood]

Inspirational. When Liu Bei said in this show: I'd rather betray myself than the World. I came up with the quote myself too: I'd rather change the World than myself. Inspiration comes from Liu Bei's values and from how realist Cao Cao's outlook of life is. Would put both of them in my top 10 inspirational people list. World lacks real values. I almost hope that social pointing system becomes a real thing for while. People don't fear God anymore so they should fear something else that makes them be better. It's like pushing people to the right direction. A few last years has shown fear is powerful tool...so what if it's finally used for right cause?
