The ideal always emerges from the material. Memes are the common person's recording of history. What change he did was real. Napoleon was a meme, but only because his actions were real.

Hello Nigel.

meme general

but he did deus ex France out of being the next Poland

>>3027883
not really, as a military leader he couldn't be matched because he studied and took ideas from past military leaders. As a political leader he made France more powerful than it ever was.

Not entirely sure where the "meme" comes from but yes he was a leader indeed

An intellectual genuis and the saviour of France. Debatebly the Egypt as well, considering how years after his death the institutions and ideas he brought there made it somewhat livable compared to the rest of the sandpeople states.

Yes, which is why even the French people will forget his overrated ass in favour of great leaders such as Jean-Jacques Dessalines, that taught the French humility and civilized them from their savage barabaric snail-eating ways.

Not really. Vast swathes of Europe were on his side, even accepting the usurpation of their monarchs by sycophantic soldiers and siblings.
>Napoleon is responsible for some of the greatest, most tactically and strategically pulled maneuvers in battles
He's not and this is written very poorly.
>that kept France as the top dog for years
>Literally cucked to the continent at the absolute zenith of his power. Couldn't leave by sea because of Brits or by land because of Russians.

Nazi Germany lasted longer and accomplished more than Napoleonic France, and against far far greater opposition.
Hitler had a far less auspicous start to his career and fewer advantages.
Hitler even had the dignity to kill himself rather than surrender (let alone twice).
...and yet the characterization of Hitler as a man somewhere around mediocrity with many major character flaws is a fair one. People just love thinking of Napoleon as messianic because he's Europe's politically correct lost cause.

Honestly /his/ posters celebrating this Napoleon are at-least as embarrassing as Appalachians dressing larping as confederates.

anglos are comically retarded, should be banned from this board
