A lot. Hitler was still worse by a long shot.

Alhazred posted:So apparently Napoleon is just as bad as Hitler.. Ironically, Napoleon is the only one that is reasonably realistically depicted as a skeleton, relying solely on his costume to identify him. The worst is probably Aliyev with the huge nose bone protruding from his nasal cavity.

Guilty Spork posted:[carly fiorina] My father's experience with her was she would attach herself to already-successful projects and try to get her fingerprints all over them, abandoning them when another success seemed imminent so she was never around when poo poo went pear shaped due to her bad decisions. She only wanted to stand by success and often hosed up those successes with her meddling. She's a rainmaker who waits for a downpour, rushes over, dances around saying I did this, it was me.

Radish posted:Yeah but beyond using the feature to help the caricature, it really makes the skeleton look way more sinister. It really hammers in the image of that nose as a beak, a particularly big and sharp one. Even in death, Thatcher is still a predator.

She sounds like a typical capable executive, which is why I am always suspicious of politicians with business backgrounds.

A lot. I've heard some people argue that the governments set up in the coutnries Napoleon conquered were more liberal and tolerant than the ones he replaced, and Europe would have been better if he'd won. I'm no expert on the subject, so I don't have an opinion of my own.

I'm no expert on the subject, so I don't have an opinion of my own. When people say this they mean classic liberalism. Napoleon's plan was to spread the French Revolution and its ideals across Europe, and the world. You have to remember that countries in Europe at that point were usually ruled by absolute monarchs and under a feudal system. Napoleon changed these systems without any real input or care for the people who's lives he was changing. Long, bloody wars ensued and families were torn apart. This is why he is seen as a monster in some circles. However, his plan worked. Even when he was pushed back, the revolution stayed. Some countries became constitution monarchies, others tired to go back to their feudal systems and rebellion was common when they attempted. Nationalism became a driving force with the Young [Country]men movements and we see unification attempts in Germany, Italy, ect. Napoleon basically ended the feudal era in Europe and set in motion the Europe we see today.
