Utilitarian high-five!

Adams was always my favorite founder.
>No slaves
>Had an awesome wife who gave good advice
>Was grumpy, fat, and did what he believed in even though he was unpopular
>Called Hamilton and Jefferson on their bullshit feuds
>loved history and attempted to live virtuously
>Defended the freaking redcoats for the boston massacre and got most of them acquitted and two just got manslaughter
>he just wanted to be a simple farmer after being President, Diocletian style

He was a flawed guy and had screw-ups, but he was honorable and laudable.

One of the few swedes I like. He was the embodiment of swedish neutrality, for better or worse (probably better).

Not only this, but he was also one of the best diplomats in human history.

>>2705883
If we had more people like him in power, a lot of shit could be avoided.
It's actually pretty nice to see influences of his philosophy in aspects of swedish society and culture. Makes me not loose all hope.

Honestly one of the very best men to ever live.

If he had formally made the selection of new emperors a technocratic/meritocratic system (rather then reverting to it being hereditary), he would probably have been the very best man to have ever live.
The Empire may still have been around today even.

I wish more people knew about Emir Abd El-Kader.

Emir Abdelkader was an Algerian "Sharif" religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion in the mid-19th century. An Islamic scholar and Sufi who unexpectedly found himself leading a military campaign, he built up a collection of Algerian tribesmen that for many years successfully held out against one of the most advanced armies in Europe. His consistent regard for what would now be called human rights, especially as regards his Christian opponents, drew widespread admiration, and a crucial intervention to save the Christian community of Damascus from a massacre in 1860 brought honours and awards from around the world. Within Algeria, his efforts to unite the country against foreign invaders saw him hailed as the "modern Jugurtha," and his ability to combine religious and political authority has led to his being acclaimed as the "Saint among the Princes, the Prince among the Saints".

In July 1860, conflict between the Druze and Maronites... he sheltered large numbers of Christians, including the heads of several foreign consulates as well as religious groups such as the Sisters of Mercy, in the safety of his house. His eldest sons were sent into the streets to offer any Christians under threat shelter under his protection, and Abdelkader himself was said by many survivors to have played an instrumental part in saving them.

"[W]e were in consternation, all of us quite convinced that our last hour had arrived [...]. In that expectation of death, in those indescribable moments of anguish, heaven, however, sent us a savior! Abd el-Kader appeared, surrounded by his Algerians, around forty of them. He was on horseback and without arms: his handsome figure calm and imposing made a strange contrast with the noise and disorder that reigned everywhere."

—Le Siècle,2 August 1869

you are being ironic right? RIGHT?

He officially became something like a dictator, his actions and beliefs are based on childish and irregular thoughts, maybe he is actually acting like religious.

I am worried, what's gonna happen to this country after like 10 years
