I want to hate him, but I can't.

I am British. I identify with the political heritage of this nation; with the likes of Pitt and Burke, of Wellington and Bonar Law, of the pragmatic governance that allowed us to become one of the greatest nations to ever exist (for a time).

But I can't bring myself to hate Napoleon. Every time I try to, I find myself in the company of insufferable faggots who seemunable to say WHY they hate him.
>he plunged Europe into war
Weren't half of those wars declared UPON him? With others being about lessening the ability for others to war France, or to simply build French prestige and wealth-something every fucking nation on earth was trying to do for themselves?
>he was a tyrant
didn't he spread (an admittedly inferior) set of laws and practices across Europe that brought an end to the worst parts of feudalism in many places? are we really judging the domestic policies of a man who was at war for almost his entire tenure?
>he was a cuckold
he was french

I just can't hate him. His story is too fascinating to me, every time I come across people arguing about him all the anti-Napoleon fags seem like the most nitpicky "uhm, acktually" retards on the planet. I've never heard an actual critique of Napoleon that doesn't just sound like unironic directionless coping from a nation he beat at one point or another.

He was a revolutionary that sought to destroy the Old (White) Europe in favor of what would become modern globohomo (and was just homo back then).
If you can't hate that, probably best to kys

Well, his defeat directly led to the Rothschilds basically buying up briain for pennies.

This is not true, you buffoon

He was an evil despicable piece of shit and his grand designs were rather arbitrary, like invading the Ottoman empire in an attempt to recreate the conquests of Alexander and blockade British trade at Suez, which was only a tiny fraction of British GDP. He had countless opportunities to find allies, the Ottomans, Russia, Spain, Italy, Poland, even Britain at one point, yet all he did was betray them and make enemies. Even when France was offered its "natural borders" up to the Rhine, he rejected it in favor of his megalomaniacal dreams.

Although perhaps showing intelligence as an artillery commander, his later success in battle is more due to the innovations of his subordinates and the new state that emerged after the mass murdering "revolutionary" nitwits were out of the way. The Ancien Regime would never orchestrate anything like Napoleon's mass conscription, some may view this as inefficiency, but it had more to do with the fact the AR was bound by local custom and tradition, which in effect was a way of representing the local populace, who would stubbornly oppose any change, akin to civil disobedience.

In this way the Monarch was beloved by many and people saw the revolution as a threat resulting in the revolt of the Vendeans, but of course that was all history. The revolutionaries had terrorized the population into submission and mesmerized them with the lie that they were now free, although Napoleon put an end to the guillotining, he maintained this system of terror, in the end it was a revolution of the world's first totalitarian state against traditional values and French people.

This is what Napoleon used to turn France into a war machine and set on his bizarre designs on the world, 20 years of pointless war which only left France in ruins and Britain supreme with no continental power to challenge them for 99 years. In a way anglophiles ought to thank him.

The British worship of mediocrity and fear and hatred of individual greatness, which they pathologize, would be only sad and pathetic if it wasn't so widespread

Yes because, intentionally or not (and it almost certainly was intentional), he spread gay revolutionary ideas to the rest of the continent which ruined Europe forever.

"Individual Greatness" is Luciferian.

Britain won, so he can't have been that great anyway.

>>18380428
He completely ruined Europe and plunged us into eternal debt.

>>18381086
no but you don't understand he's *literally moi*
>>
he was a pretty cool guy but he did get an egomaniac streak towards the end. his 'empire' would've collapsed to infighting almost immediately after he died anyway so i wouldn't worry about it.
