Did Napoleon disrespect the French and view them as a bunch of retards?
"Do you think...that my object is to establish a Republic? What a notion! A republic of thirty million people, with our morals and vices! How could that ever be? It is a chimera with which the French are infatuated but which will pass away in time like all others...as for liberty, of that they have no conception...The nation must have a head, a head rendered illustrious by glory and not by theories of government...of which the French understand not a wit. Let them have their toys and they will be satisfied. They will amuse themselves and allow themselves to be led, provided the goal is cleverly disguised."
Sounds more like he was using them than anything.

Napoleon used everyone, hence his success. I do believe he had some shred of respect for them, but he used them as a means to an end. His end was all of Europe under his control.

Sounds like he understood the average citizen, rather than any disdain for the French specifically.

If that were the case, he would've said people, not french.
There's also the evidence he originally planned to join the English Navy to campaign for a free Corsica.

How is that insulting? Saying Russians and Chinese people always favor autocracy isn't insulting.

In his early career he was more hostile to them but as he got older he started to consider himself more French and stopped liking Corsica
