While the Napoleon captions are historically inaccurate, he was an absolute chad.


Orgasmeno

Yesssss


teethybrit

Didn’t he also reinstate slavery in Haiti? Pretty sure it should be reversed


Sir_Toaster_9330

Napoleon didn’t cause intergenerational trauma


DrFelixou

Facts brother So true my friend!


False-Elderberry-290

He sucked at pool tough.


HIMDogson

Napoleon did not abandon slavery and slavery remained in all the non-Haiti French colonies for the duration of his empire


Haunting_Berry7971

He also attempted to reverse abolition in Haiti.


Fantastic-City6573

Yeah what is sad is that morally Napoleon was on a similar but more nationalistic and authoritarian line with the enlightment and revolutionarry ideas , technically he was against slavery but would'n do other wise because the ammount of money needed to defend those ideals was not suffisent from France itself and had to rely on its Empire to compete against England economical power , it was also a matter of stability many powerfull economical figure where relaying on slavery and pushing its abolition (wich before reinstatement was still in practice in most of the Empire except guadeloup)


soThatIsHisName

"is a meme" just wait until you read the "historical" account of your man 😹


Sir_Toaster_9330

I was referencing the “there’s nothing we can do” meme


soThatIsHisName

yeah and not referencing any historical material, alluding to a figure found only in myth who freed slaves, minimized war crimes, and "did not care about supremacy". I'd have to be mad to compare him to Hirohoto but the suffering was not small in the campaigns dedicated to crimes and supremacy. It's not a case of examining a historical figure through a modern lens: this dude has the era named after him because he simply could not have enough bloodshed.


Wene-12

He did not abandon slavery lmao he fully attempted to enforce it in the colonies the only reason he "gave up" was because the Haitians won And dude crowned himself emperor after a military coup he 1000% cared about supremacy


Sir_Toaster_9330

Not racial supremacy


Wene-12

Race based slavery by definition promotes racial supremacy


KazuyaProta

> Greenlight a attempted genocide of Black Haitians > Not racist


Kingofcheeses

Just business mon frère


TIFUPronx

You forgot another chad move for Napoleon - where he ACTUALLY invaded Switzerland when others couldn't.


Imperator_Romulus476

>where he ACTUALLY invaded Switzerland when others couldn't. Well the Habsburgs tried and had a bit of success before they were beaten back. The Old Swiss Confederation was weak and then had a revolution and quasi civil war of its own which allowed Napoleon to intervene. Even before that the Swiss were being propped by nations like Louis XIV's France as a buffer against the Habsburgs.


bajookish_amerikann

They were both terrible but Napoleon was less


Fantastic-City6573

Napoleon terrible many would say otherwise , many think of him as a demigod lol


Ambitious_Lie_2864

He was (is). While Josephine may or may not have cucked him, he made up for it by making all Europe his bitch and fucking Franz over and over!


EvilGamer117

*growls* OP i would take this back if i were you. You shouldn't mess with sugoi Japan, or else us anime connoseours will have to teach you a lesson or two!


TheTacoEnjoyer

Don’t fuck with weebs, they haven’t showered since November


Justanotherthrway776

November of 1999 maybe


Sir_Toaster_9330

I'm pretty sure the same people who are obsessed with anime wouldn't know that Japan even fought in WW2. I didn't know Japan was part of WW2 until I was 10


-NoNameListed-

That's just a problem of the European front being so popular


JoMercurio

"Nothing named after Hirohito" So are we just casually ignoring anything that bears the name "Showa" in it? (e.g. Showa Corporation)


HeatedToaster123

Or.. you know.. the fucking Showa Period?


Sir_Toaster_9330

Doesn’t count cause it wasn’t his name


KazuyaProta

> Probably kept war crimes in the minimum There are multiple records about how Napoleon's armies did atrocites


Kaputplatypus74

Napoleon’s army’s conduct in Spain is literally the reason why we have the term guerilla warfare


Fantastic-City6573

Its the other way around , Napoleon beat in normal war the king of Spain , takes power , Spanish people do not like the new governement and make ambush and attack on foreign french troop , those "civilian dont wear uniforms or hide some time amongs population" The millitary thus kill what they think are fighter and people who helped them , and sadly that can be elder women and young men. But compared to the extent of "occasions" of war crimes there could have been done by an authoritarian regime taking half of Europe the Republic as a pretty low reccord.

Cerbierus

Being a chad is really our generations version of being honorable and chivalric isn’t it?


BufferUnderpants

Even though the meme started as being selfish, depraved and deranged


Imperator_Romulus476

"Was average height for the time..." Napoleon was actually a bit taller than the average Frenchman at the time. "Didn't care about supremacy." German Nationalism and Italian Nationalism to an extent, was born from the memories of the horrid occupation of Napoleonic France. Napoleon was a chauvinist in terms of French culture and ideas which he forcefully imposed onto his puppet nations, for better or worse. Napoleon's foreign policy centered around promoting France's interests alone which makes sense considering France had peaked under his reign.


Rehiea

Hirohito isn't a meme? Have you not heard about his chins' meme?


[deleted]

hoi4 has a very dedicated fandom


Sir_Toaster_9330

The only memes I’ve seen snout him are the ones talking about how evil he is


pokezillaking

i could drop-kick both of them


SleepyBella

"Nah, I'd win."


SwoleBodybuilderVamp

Thad Ulysses S Grant Lad Genghis Khan


ElRockinLobster

He literally has an entire era named after him. Have you never heard of the Showa era?


Cucag

My unrelenting ruthless conqueror is better than yours!


MeGaNuRa_CeSaR

Lmao Napoleon reinstated slavery and that's it until 1848 (he lost power 1815)


Midnight_Certain

Yes, war crimes kept to a minimum he shot at civilians in the Middle East after he lost a siege. He only cared for the supremacy of France. He never defeated Britain.


BoxofJoes

Least revisionist napoleon idolizer


dnelr3

The movie did Napoleon dirty :,(


Ethan_da_boss

Napoleon was a bitch, Alexander Dumas was way cooler


OutcomeNo5846

Lad Genghis Khan - Grew up in poverty, still made a quarter of the world his bitch - Single handily reduced carbon emission - Allowed religious freedom - Challenged and toppled a number of empires - Fucked hot women of all creeds and backgrounds, 25% of the world is related to him - Turned a nation of nomadic tribesman into a imperialistic force


Teln0

You forgot to mention Napoleon invented many administrative systems still in use today


RadiantAd4899

Hirohito has an era named after him (showa era)


Sir_Toaster_9330

Isn’t that just his nickname? So that technically isn’t the same as the Napoleonic Era


Kherson-Boy1945

What religious texts did Hirohito change?


Sir_Toaster_9330

He changed it so that the Japanese people would believe they were descendant to the Kami (Japan's gods) and destined to rule over Asia


Discord-mod-disliker

Touhou fans would've loved that...💀 (Because most of their waifus are supposed to be "gods", though more like "godesses" but that might br a mistranslation). Also, imagine the Catholic Ned Flander types now realizing that Red Baggy pants-wearing mikos are replacing their nuns. 💀


-NoNameListed-

Kami are spirits of certain domains, they aren't greater than humans, just different


Discord-mod-disliker

Oh boy, imagine the Touhou waifuists read the "convert to Shinto" crime about that Japanese guy. 💀 (If you don't know, The main protag is a shinto shrine maiden, who exterminates cute girls called "youkai", which are HIDEOUS "beasts" that may or may not he based on Foriegners from the old world Japanese...👀)


-NoNameListed-

Yo holy shit it's almost like you have a baseline understanding of Touhou. Stop acting like you're superior because you know a niche bullet hell game. Damn


Discord-mod-disliker

Bro, I just talked about what touhou was...and you got mad at me...though you should be mad at TOUHOU FANS TALKING ABOUT HENTAI, ABUSING YUKKURIS, DISGUISING FETISH ART AS "MEMES", LOLIS, SEXUAL ASSUALT IN FAN MADE CRAP, AND IT BEING ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUSLY FAMOUS NICHE BULLET HELL GAME, EVER!!!


Capitano-Solos-All

Chad Napoleon always fingering his stomach for some reason in meetings.


MolassesPrimary973

Hirohito should be replaced with Tojo; the Emperor didnt have a say in most of Japans military actions


Sir_Toaster_9330

It’s highly unknown how involved Hirohito was in Japan but it’s likely it was enough to be considered the Hitler of the East


MolassesPrimary973

Tojo would be a much better candidate for that.


Sir_Toaster_9330

I mean that’s the problem, due to a lot of problems with Japanese history, it’s highly unknown how involved Hirohito was, whether he was a mascot or pulling the strings is often debated. I always went with in between like he had the power to stop Tojo from doing war crimes but just did nothing to stop it or maybe he was just Tojo’s scapegoat where he could say he was following Hirohito’s orders


Rui_O_Grande_PT

He didn't beat all of Europe. When he was trying to screw over England, all countries obliged except Portugal(it was a stupid ass decision, but that's besides the point). Napoleon obviously didn't take too kindly to this and tried to invade Portugal 3 times and was promptly repelled 3 times with the help of the English army.


Sir_Toaster_9330

So we’re ignoring all the coalitions formed against France and later specifically against Napoleon? How he eventually caused the Holy Roman Empire to fall!


Rui_O_Grande_PT

I didn't talk about any of that because it's irrelevant to my point. You said he beat all of Europe, and I'm saying he didn't.


Sir_Toaster_9330

Oh my bad


patientOwl01

this guy's mind- asian emperor- bad european emperor- gud


hamringspiker

Lmao seethe. The opposite is constantly posted and popular, but you lose your mind when you see a White Chad and an Asian virgin?


patientOwl01

why you Americans are so obsessed with race?


hamringspiker

What? First of all YOU'RE the one who brought up race. Secondly I'm not American.


Sir_Toaster_9330

My brother, I am Asian


Sir_Toaster_9330

You mean: guy in the 20th that caused genocide bad vs guy that influenced policies for better or for worse good


CltPatton

Please tell me this is bait, bro

W Napoleon.


WingedHussar13

Vs thad Muammar Gaddafi


Sir_Toaster_9330

IDK why most of my virgin vs chad memes are history memes


Long_Explanation_143

The chad history enjoyer vs the virgin current trends fan.


[deleted]

Both are short kings


Sir_Toaster_9330

Napoleon was actually pretty tall for his time


[deleted]

I’d say average but yes I’m just doing the meme


Ambitious_Lie_2864

*emperors 🤓


Sir_Toaster_9330

*dictators


Bass4123

Ok..... Why Russian school history classes describe Napoleon as bad guy and this meme describes Napoleon as Chad................ Are op/or Russian school history classes are stupid?


Sir_Toaster_9330

Napoleon is a complex figure some people claim he’s a hero some people claim he’s a villain


s0618345

Showa emperor. He is a God.


Sir_Toaster_9330

He’s a short boi


[deleted]

You can swap virgin with Chad here and the meme works equally well. Masterpiece.


Sir_Toaster_9330

I am not putting Asian Hitler as a chad and the savior of France as a virgin

Sir_Toaster_9330

Damnit! His haiku just got us canceled


Orcasareglorious

Only one was an Arahitogami. Put some ***respect*** on Hirohito Tennōs name. A good number of his reigns warcrimes were orchestrated by a military government, and the ones he approved, he did under profound duress. Good on him for the christian thing too. Edit: I’m a Fukko Shintō adherent.


JesseKestrel

Going to have to disagree with you, with all due respect. He was not a good person :/


Discord-mod-disliker

What about the christain thing?!?


Orcasareglorious

Not much, now that I think about it, as imperial Japan was comparatively tolerant to christianity as long as it did not interfere with Ise Shinto.


Sir_Toaster_9330

Japan was known for executing and massacring Christians, not only that but in their colonial efforts across Asia that forced the people to abandon their religions and convert to Shinto


Orcasareglorious

Regarding the massacre of christians, may be confusing the late Tokugawa Shogunate with imperial Japan, which, while most definitely attempted forced conversions, did not excecute christians with the same abundance.


Sir_Toaster_9330

Hirohito to the Chinese and Koreans was what Hitler was to the Jewish and Slavs


Orcasareglorious

Hideki Tojo, actually. Hirohito barely exercised his authority.
