I like the parts of War and Peace where Tolstoy calls out Napoleon as a stupid lucky bitch. Powerful Mao: The Unknown Story vibes.

I really don't like Snyder, but honestly it was a great reply in that it did exactly what it was intended to do, stop the conversation in a very diplomatic way. I'm reasonably sure Snyder knew it included him, but just wisely didn't want the argument, as would be one of those arguing, just by arguing you look bad.
Not like you were gonna get Scorsese to go "Nah, I specifically also meant Snyder, hell, particularly!"

I feel like they're probably too stupid to not get that read about any (popular) male politician they've been told they're supposed to dislike.

Haven't seen Napoleon yet and probably won't until the 4-hour cut is released, but I agree with whomever said itt that the best bio-pics are those that have contempt for their subject matter (see: I'm Not There)

You will like Napoleon then.

there is no coherent reading of Napoleon's life where he isn't an insecure and petty little poo poo, and probably unlikable, but that doesn't in any way diminish his nearly unrivaled political and military achievements. he's on a tier where the only other members are Genghis Khan and Cyrus. if you want to be generous, you can throw in Alexander and Muhammad.

You don't invade and conquer other countries if you're a perfectly aane person. Svein Forked Beard for example probably conquered England, Danmark, Sweden and Norway because he had daddy issues.

I watched the Napoleon movie and I feel like the thing that will stick with me the most is Napoleon’s horny noises. Like, the noises he make when we wants to have sex with his wife.

that feels like it would be the one historically accurate detail that ridley scott made sure to put into the movie

even if historians say it's false they will find a letter hidden away somewhere in 5 years and it will say some poo poo about boney making his little noises

TrueAnon goes into how pervasive sex-related blackmailing as a strategy seems to be in the intelligence agencies and political bodies of the world, and it feels like frats and sororities are training people to be adjusted to that situation.

thinking about how when trump was first told about the piss tape thing by spooks he barely even noticed because it sounded like an example of something that was obviously made up and that his learning in subsequent months that this was actually a very serious intelligence briefing he was supposed to be paying attention to and it was dereliction of duty for him to blow it off was probably a major factor in trump turning hard against the entire concept of the deep state during his presidency having barely ever even thought about it during the campaign

I thought it was based on the War of the Roses, with Starks and Lannisters being House Lancaster and York and Westeros literally being inverted British Isles.
