Pejorative

We should link to wiktionary because it is a more precise definition.KingofGangsters (talk) 17:22, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

It's wierd you prefer this, as you have resisted so strongly an article on what it gives as the primary meaning! It doesn't mention the psychological sense at all, and of course is far less "precise" and informative than any of the articles linked from the disam page.

The usage of the word "Machiavellian" preceded any psychological meanings however was still was used pejoratively. This is what the paragraph is referring to, therefore in my opinion it is more precise. KingofGangsters (talk) 17:31, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
