Billionaire Asshole Shoots Off His Mouth Again

[A Theist]

More than you can handle, kid. The only trolls here are you and your intolerant and bigoted little nerd friends. When ever you double standard hypocrites make inflammatory statements against people you disagree with, expect inflammatory responses.

You quoted a lengthy post only to cat-call. I think you're on shakier ground than I am.

I wouldn't call every one of your opponents and people who disagree with you my "nerd friends" -- I think quite a few of them would have their own differences and vitriol to spare on me.

I'm glad you think that my support network is large -- feels nice.

The French revolution acheived nothing near a stable and fair government. They became worse tyrants than the royalty and aristocrats they beheaded. They were killing anyone just for mere suspicion. Although a dictator, Napoleon was probably the best leader France ever had.

Tyranny of the mob does that.

And a suppressed, destitute people will do anything to destroy others.

Would they have done what they did if they had a fair and just system of government (at least more fair than what preceded the Revolution)?

I doubt it.

People only get aberrant when they have nothing to lose.

That is something Napoleon understood well and addressed.

An Emperor cannot rule the unruly, only those who wish to be ruled. And many French lives given during war attest to their belief in him.

Sorry that my use of the term, "nerd friends" hurt your overly sensitive feelings. Maybe I should have responded as some others on this forum, (like Cato's response, for example, to Rahul earlier in the thread), and lash out with bigoted stereotypes and call people who disagree with me, racists and nazis. Is that something you're more comfortable with? Why is that kind of vitriol and cat-calling okay with you, but when people you disagree with calls it out and responds to it is not okay? I think I'm the one who's on more solid turf here after I called out the double standards.

Tyranny of the mob does that....

I think by the time Napoleon came to power the people were weary of the oppression by the revolutionary government, the executions, the government suspicions, and the suspension of the democratic reforms and personal liberties that were fought for in the first place. At that time France was also dealing with wars against Britain, Austria, Spain, etc, and also dealing with local uprisings because of the brutal policies by the revolutionary government. The people of France were ready for stability, something the "Incorruptable" and his revolution failed to provide. Napoleon definitely understood all of that and he was admired by the people. Napoleon also restored personal liberties which were taken by the government before him. Napoleon's downfall was his own ambition which put him and France into constant warfare with other European countries. Dictators have always bitten off far more than they could chew. Aside from that, Napoleon was one history's greatest world leaders.
