REEEEEEEE

My parents are engineers, first people in my family to ever live in the city. Other than that, peasants, every one of them for as far as I can trace. A significant chunk of them soldiers, cavalry up to WW 1, various arms in WW2. Some dead on muddy battlefields, most returned home. I'm the only member of my family that never owned a horse. I have neither pride nor shame because of my heritage. We're also all of one ethnicity for at least 7 generations and I'm about to break that rule.

I am not an extraordinary man with extraordinary past or.lineage and I am fine with that. I don't fantasize about a.lifestyle my parents sworn off 30 years ago and I have never tasted.

You think Napoleon had some great lineage? He made his own lineage great.

Me too. Most of my family have lived in the Kingston upon Thames since before the English Civil War. My great-grandfather was responsible for the electrification of it.

The Buonapartes were minor Italian nobility. He never would have gotten where he was without that.

Minor nobility is nothing. Everyone is minor nobility. I'm descended from minor nobility.

With your understanding of context I would say you're descended from major stupidity.

The point is that Napoleon wasn't who he was because of his birth, he was who he was because of what he did, and OP should stop worrying about what he has no control over and focus on what he does have control over.

Napoleon used his lineage to get to the ecole militaire where he learned how to use artillery. Societies previously were very heavily class based. Plebs couldn't just get prestigious postings for nothing. He got to his position and then was able to employ his talents. No other Corsican had ever attended the ecole militaire.

For fuck's sake, Why did they half ass everything?

Do any of you realize how painful it is to suddenly realize that your parents are subpar?

I could have been so much better, but they held me back.
