I am talking non-violent, "civilized" ways of inconveniencing, trapping, disabling, or halting the progress and pursuit of happiness of the people I hate. I emphasize again, no physical harm of any kind only psychological. I am not evil, I am just wanting to take a bit of karmic justice into my own hands. Also feel free to post any good Machiavellian literature.

there are very few people in this world which hatred is warranted, and none to which cruelty is warranted. you tend to your own character rather than ruin it trying to ruin others.

You are defective. You think your weakness is a virtue. You do not respond appropriately to slights made agsinst you and threats made against your loved obes.

Those who do not hate can not love.

The highest love is the hatred of evil, and the punishment of those who defile goodness. The ability to create justice by correcting the unjust is one of the greatest privileges of life. To deny oneself the duty and pleasure of inflicting immense suffering upon evil people is in many ways to deny one's humanity.

I think the 48 laws of power is a good springboard to start with. obviously not sophisticated but it has good ideas of how to gain influence at the very least

Id recommend some Freud, Jung, or any good book on psychology. Once you understand what motivates certain types of people you will know exactly how to hurt them.

You think being drawn into a pincer by your enemy's retreat is a good plan. Anon >>14470219
is right, and you are filled with ressentiment which will forever wed you to your enemies, defining your shape by their absence or presence and not by your own. You could transcend this tit for tat with an actual understanding of love and joy as total sensations, but your mar them with what you hate because ultimately, your ties to what you hate are stronger.

>halting the progress and pursuit of happiness of the people I hate. I emphasize again, no physical harm of any kind only psychological.
All pain is psychological. You fear the judgement you would have against yourself if you cut off their leg, but not if you engage in furthering your abusive relationship with them. Read Nietzsche to understand how you could be better than them and how they could be more than dead to you if you were a master of your own psychology and values rather than beholden to enemies who will never know you.

You misunderstand me Anon, I have not been wronged by them I simply want them to suffer because I dislike their character. To say that I have allowed myself to be wronged by them is fair but what is the point of power in this world if I cannot affect my sense of morality upon it.
