Maybe u should spend your time doing other things besides post dumb stuff like this. The longer u fight MAGA the more frustrating it's going to get for u and the rest of the democrat party who are currently swirling the toilet bowl of irrelevance.

Hitler was also an admirer of Napoleon.
He wanted to conquer Europe like Napoleon tried also.
And Trump-Musk are sharing the same megalomaniac ambition.
No need to say those have always been dangerous people

It looks like someone we all know is checking the three.
When you give the power to such a person with a propaganda network and a cult like fan base you have the explosive recipe for what we said will never happen again.
Can someone please get a quote from Dan Carlin as to his opinion about Elon Musk and the state of affairs in America? I have a feeling it won't be kind.
You’ve got to consider the pathology behind admirers of historical psycho sociopaths. Based on their choices of “mentors” their grandiosity flourishes along w sadism, absence of empathy, narcissistic manipulation of facts to meet their ends at anyone else’s cost. Yep, Mump, part musk, part trump.
*Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.
Not that surprising. Both of them are megalomaniacs that exploited the intelligence of those around them to create an artificial facade to cover up that they are very inadequate men.
Napoleon nearly destroyed France so it’s fitting that Musk is beating the same path.
1. While Washington was able to draw upon Britain's greater wish to colonise South Asia & therefore ultimately Washington didn't ultimately need an alliance with South Asian kings like Ahmad Shah Hepthalite, Napoleon failed to gain their support.
Napoleon should have concentrated on gaining the support of Ahmad Shah's descendants & Pashtuns in Western South Asia & Afghanistan who resisted actively colonialism for 150 years.
2. Napoleon failed to gain the support of Muslim scholars in Africa & middle-eastern Asia because of atrocities
3. He failed to gain the support of East Europeans against their hereditary enemy, Russia. If he'd offered them more, he would have had stronger supply lines and many more troops who were dedicated to fighting Russia.
This reeks of one of those wannabes that wants to talk war without understanding a single damn thing. Historical figures and battles are not studied from a singular source. The US military understands the dangers of tunnel vision. Which makes even the diversity purge shortsighted.
And of course he's reading a pretty uncritical 50 year old broad overview instead of any more recent, thorough, accurate, and just as easily readable bios.
The best "Napoleon not a fan of bureaucracy." Well, he may want to read up on his issues with Revolutionary governance, the nature of his singular genius, & using family to manipulate empire. That & how a mil staff system by Prussia was created to model his unique approach.
Elon Musk is truly an ignorant person. Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, fought against enemies of his country, whereas Napoleon did what Putin is doing right now, and that is he invaded his neighbours for imperialist reasons.
Napoleon is not someone to be admired.
A genius would focus less on Napoleon and more on his advisor, Talleyrand, an aristocrat who survived the French Revolution. Talleyrand was such a skilled diplomat he served not only Napoleon but four monarchies, including the one overthrown by Napoleon and the one that overthrew Napoleon.
Napoleon Bonaparte never said this nor anything like it (and I’ve checked Jules Bertaut’s 1912 French compilation of Napoleon quotes 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦́𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦́𝘦𝘴 to be sure), this was a line from the movie Waterloo (1970) that Rod Steiger uttered at 00:31:30:02 - 00:31:52:17. 1/
Given that 1970 was when a 23 year old Trump last was generally of popular culture, it makes sense that Trump saw the movie Waterloo then, and probably again on TV, and the line has stuck with him to our detriment. 2/
Napoleon was actually a student of the law (no not a law student) and the 1804 Napoleonic Code is still the underlying basis of the French system of jurisprudence in effect today.
By contrast Trump is an anarchist who revels in chaos and hates the law. 3/
Bartleby® attributes this quote to Napoléon III after his 1851 autogolpe from a Corps Législatif speech: “France has comprehended that I went outside the law to enter into justice.” That quote may be apocryphal (can’t it find in French), it seems a more likely inspiration for the Waterloo line. 4/4
He DOES know where Napoleon wound up though, right? But I’ll bet he didn’t mention that fact to the co-prez when he fed him that line about breaking the law to save the country.
I knew someone gave that quote to Trump as he is too ignorant to even have a clue about Napoleon. I thought Stephen Miller. I should have guessed the prick closest to Trump - Musk.

Let's keep that in mind.
Trump never was very good at HISTORY, or FACTS, or Truth, or LAW (other than a personal weapon), or Civics, or ...
But he is good at LYING.
Musk too.

I’m going to say now that Trump doesn’t even have control of his own social media account. Elon is posting as Trump.
Which leads to the next question:
Who is in charge of our government?
We haven't gotten to the guillotine part... yet.
Napoleon nearly destroyed France so it’s fitting that Musk is beating the same path.
Presidents should not be spending their time posting stupid shit like this. The presidency is a 24/7 important job. This has no place in it.

Gee. Wonder what ever happened to them in the end?
