I don't see why you should think Napoelon was bad. As it is, I hold him in highest esteem for having BTFO'd the >H>R>E and Venetians into dissolution.

>Gloomy and even savage, almost always self-absorbed, one would have supposed that he had just come from some forest, and unmindful, until then, of the notice of his fellows, experienced for the first time the sensations of surprise and distrust; he detested games and all manner of boyish amusements. One part of the garden was allotted to him and there he studied and brooded, and woe to him who ventured to disturb him. One evening the boys were setting off fireworks and a small powder-chest exploded. In their fright the troop scattered in all directions, and some of them took refuge in Napoleon's domain, whereat he rushed upon the fugitives in a passion and attacked them with a spade.
he was a primitive savage who hated whitey

Was it autism then?

>On campaign Napoleon demonstrated an approachability that endeared him to his men. They were permitted to put their cases forward for being awarded medals, promotions and even pensions, after which, once he had checked the veracity of their claims with their commanding officer, the matter was quickly settled. He personally read petitions from the ranks, and granted as many as he could. Baron Louis de Bausset-Roquefort, who served him on many campaigns, recalled that Napoleon ‘heard, interrogated, and decided at once; if it was a refusal, the reasons were explained in a manner which softened the disappointment’. 84 Such accessibility to the commander-in-chief is impossible to conceive in the British army of the Duke of Wellington or in the Austrian army of Archduke Charles, but in republican France it was an invaluable means of keeping in touch with the needs and concerns of his men.

>Napoleon genuinely enjoyed spending time with his soldiers; he squeezed their earlobes, joked with them and singled out old grognards(literally ‘grumblers’, but also translatable as ‘veterans’), reminiscing about past battles and peppering them with questions. When campaign marches halted for lunch, Napoleon and Berthier would invite the aides-de-camp and orderlies to eat with them, which Bausset recalled as‘truly a fête for every one of us’. He also ensured that wine from his dinner table was always given to his sentries. Small things, perhaps, but they were appreciated and helped breed devotion. His constant references to the ancient world had the intended effect of giving ordinary soldiers a sense that their lives – and, should it come to that, their deaths in battle – mattered, that they were an integral part of a larger whole that would resonate through French history.

Yes such a primitive savage.

i'm pretty sure that all the recent changes in leftist ideology (you can't be racist if you're not white, white privilege, nice guys, etc.) came about because a bunch of liberal oxford students studied napoleon

before that there was tons of liberal opposition to him and his "war crimes"
>>1800536
he was a bore in polite company but he was very good at reading people and charming them
>>1800539
he also routinely beat up his staff and scared everyone he ever met

Hemoroïds and probably stomach cancer.

>>1800543
>he also routinely beat up his staff and scared everyone he ever met

>Napoleon also set up the Maison d’Éducation de la Légion d’Honneur at Saint-Denis, an excellent boarding school providing free education for the daughters of recipients of the medal who had been killed on active service, which still exists today, as does a Légion lycée in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

>Efficient staff-work helped Napoleon to ‘recognize’ old soldiers from the ranks, but he also had a phenomenal memory. ‘I introduced three deputies of the Valais to him,’ recalled an interior minister, ‘he asked one of them about his two little girls.This deputy told me that he had only seen Napoleon once before, at the foot of the Alps, as he was on his way to Marengo. “Problems with the artillery forced him to stop for a moment in front of my house,” added the deputy, “he petted my two children, mounted his horse, and since then I had not seen him again.”’

Don't believe Anglo lies. He wasn't good with manners and he was a rough person but that wasn't because he was a "primitive savage" but simply because he was a soldier and lived either reading books or in encampments.

The World would be a better place today had Napoleon won.

he's the reason for the changes to cultural marxism that took place two years ago

"nonwhites can't be racist" didn't exist until two years ago, black nationalists were not invited to leftist rallies until two years ago, white privilege did not exist as a concept until two years ago

>>1800596
Explain how Napoleon is responsible for any of that? Those are all English and American developments, especially American because they still had racial segregation 60-70 years ago.

>>1800602
some oxford students took a history course on napoleon and made those changes because old liberals and "nice guys" ripped on him and refused to recognise any of his achievements because of "war crimes" and rape

those students now run the left as students have always done

it changed in real time obviously, i don't know why you're arguing against the fact that student politics dictate the ideology of the left, just look at the 1960s

>i'm someone who's actually read stuff written by his contemporaries

I really doubt anybody of importance even asked himself the question about him or Italians being white or not at that time.

The bias about whiteness or not only really took off in the course of the 19th century, people where more concerned about nobility and class.

>>1800983
>I really doubt anybody of importance even asked himself the question about him or Italians being white or not at that time.
well the fact still stands that they considered him to be of a different race

it's true that they probably didn't think of themselves as white but they did think of napoleon as being "nonwhite" for absence of a better term

he had a different skin tone, he was stereotyped as a savage who held vendettas and the most frequent insults used against him were "corsican upstart" and "corsican runt"

>>1801002

just because they had a bias against him for being corsican, like it often happens to people from island regions, doesnt mean they considered him to be from a different race.

The bias people might had was completely cultural and has nothing to do with race. Sort like if a guy from lousiana with strong southern accent would make it into the high society of new york. People would might look down on him, wouldn't mean they'd consider him non-white

>>1801233
>just because they had a bias against him for being from a different ethnic and social group doesn't mean they were racist
it kinda does
>The bias people might had was completely cultural and has nothing to do with race

It's just an unnerving mental image, squat little napoleon squealing gleefully as he squeezes the earlobes of professional soldiers

>>1801488
he was taller or as tall as most of them

line infantry were underfed manlets

also he wasn't the squealing type it was more of a fatherly guesture

>>1801488
also he was a professional soldier himself in training since he was like 6

also many of them were conscripts and most were uneducated semi-criminals

also he was 5' 7" when he didn't slouch

>>1801494
>>1801505
I'm well aware of his relative height, but that doesn't prevent my mind from overriding that and making him tiny, according to the sterotype

>>1801271
> mean race is considered to be cultural as well as biological now
Please do not push the american racial vision of the world on the history and other country that america. french are citizen-based nationalism that go too far, they etnocide all other culture, nappy was shamed because he was not a "pure cultural" parisian french but do not make this a racial problem.

>>1801571
> because he was not a "pure cultural" parisian french
he was shamed because he wasn't french at all, he was shamed because he was a corsican

at this point we're just splitting hairs

>>1801584
He consider himself as french.

>>1801610
maybe in later life, as a child and young man he didn't

other people didn't though, i think you're referring to the thing with the mayor calling him not french
