Your pic is not of French soldiers, nor the Napoleonic era.

>*abolishment of slavery, damn autocorrect!

he re-introduced slavery in 1802

>Napoleon invented the EU

Top lel. Napoleon wanted to unite Europe through military conquest while EU was created as a trade union to prevent another fucking war.

>>1445734
A bit of both
He isn't the angry powerhungry manlet that Butthurt Anglos make him out to be but he wasn't a saint

>>1445734
Isnt that 1848 not Napoleon?

0/10 would not follow into battle

Napoleon was a blend between a racketeer and an idealist.

>>1445981
He abolished it again during the Hundred Days as a sort of PR stunt I think.

Napoleon was an idealist turned opportunist. As so many are.

story behind this?

>>1446606
a tv show in brazil

http://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/82173895/#q82173895

Literally on brazilian television right now, a soap opera aimed at teens displays the following situation:
>girl cheats on her steady platonic white boyfriend with his black friend/coworker and they have sex
>she never had sex with the white guy despite him being her boyfriend
>now impregnated with twins
>trying to convince the white dude to raise their kid together
>"this kid is a gift from god to us" says the girl
>everything and everyone leads to the reasoning that this is right, from the very existence of this plot, to the normal treatment it receives, to the fact that nobody rages, to the various scenes that portray the white guy upset, yet still listening to it all
>"comedic" script and background music plays during the whole thing
>written by: "Emanuel Jacobina" and "Rodrigo Salomão"
>Jacob
>Salomão = Solomon (/ˈsɒləmən/; Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה, Modern Shlomo, Tiberian Šəlōmō ISO 259-3 Šlomo;
>written by jacob and shlomo

May I remind again this show is aimed at teens, they're being taught to tolerate this.
As if leading the charts in cuckold interest on porn sites wasn't enough, they're now officially grooming teens explicitly through TV.

They're portraying her as a perennial stream of compassion/comprehension, leading the way to a solution to this situation by raising all three the shameful byproduct in her belly.

May I remind once again this show is aimed at teens.
We are doomed.

He was a Romantic *hero* and a visionary. Napoleon survives as he was portrayed crossing the alps in the oil paintings of Jacques-Louis David. He is not the stiff "Emperor" sat on a throne. He is remembered for movement in war, law, and politics.

This film captures the real Napoleon http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3sb6kx

We're not doomed. As much as TV might try to make this out to be okay, anyone put in that situation will be overcome with the natural emotions of anger and jealousy to the point that they'd never accept it in real life. Only ultracucks do.

I don't know man, my first gf lost her virginity to another guy while we had been dating for almost a year, but the way she acted like it was normal made kind of think it was too, and I was in love with her so I stayed with her.

>>1447000
That's pathetic dude.

Then again I was with a woman for 6 years, and 1 month before our wedding she left me, now she does drugs a lot and hangs out with stoners all the time, probably dating them. Women are weird and ruin their own lives.

As Immanuel Kant noted in 1763, the French have a feeling for the beautiful and this connoisseurship is why Napoleon gets a free pass, although he was a proto-fascist in much of his ideology and sowed death amongst thousands of innocent civilians in the pursuit of his wretched expansionism.

don't forget the conscription and 'requisition' of food from locals, Spain got so pissed off they created Guerrilleros.
