What is the general opinion of Napoleon in modern day France? Is he a national hero loved by every Frenchman, like Churchill in Britain, or is he controversial, and only popular to french nationalist, like Franco in Spain?

Do Brits actually like Jewston Churchill?
no, he's just another asshole who wanted to rule over everyone
The Anglos are jewish slaves. Of cousre they love him.
Not as controversial as Franco, but not glorified in history classes because nationalism is le bad
Right after his 'Infamous Decree', he suicided his Empire killing millions of Europeans for no strategic reason whatsoever. Really makes you think
Said by one who lives in an asshole country, which wishes to rule over everyone

Cool guy with Louis 14, Joan of Arc ... but that's all. He did bad things but boys will be boys.
Who's considered the greatest Frenchman ever?
ending the petrodollar will unironically fix all of this
Emmanuel Macron
Why do Indians have such a funny accent?
The British Empire have ruled you for a long time and still retarded.
Thank you, sir

virgin land power vs chad sea power
The actual Indian upper-class accent sounded pretty close to the British accent in the 20tg century.

This is our first Prime Minister for example
Sauce?
Still sounds like apu. I wonder if it’s physiological
Probably is, but it doesn't sound anything like the code-monkeys we send over these days, they tend to stress the consonants
Zidane or platini
Most people here dont care about French history, most people arent even Frenchs
wonder if Poland is the only country that thinks he was pretty cool. He's even mentioned in the anthem
He's controversial. Leftists cannot get past his decision to re-establish slavery in the colonies. He's seens by many as nothing more than a delusional, racist warmongering tyrant.
De Gaulle.
Is that Chris Chan in another timeline?
From what I gather from the general opinion, the three that I have just mentioned plus de Gaulle. The educated French will also quote you the best kings of their century, aka Saint Louis, Louis 11, Phillipe Auguste, Napoleon 3, Clovis, Charlemagne etc ...
We are lucky in France because our country has been rather "prosperous" and at "peace" compared to the world's history where it's mainly "invasion, genocide, destruction, replacement of the elite or population, exploitation ..."
>wonder if Poland is the only country that thinks he was pretty cool
I despise him and every Pole should as well.
oh sure, but the common, shallow knowledge is
>he tried to give us independence but all the baddies stopped him
and that's pretty much it
De Gaulle is the reason commies infiltrated our culture. Fuck this retarded traitor vive Pétain.
Our estasblishment has been very succesful at attacking the very concept of "France" in the mind of the youth, for several generations now. Now only those who are branded far-right have a positive opinion of the past centuries of French history and culture.
I was pretty disappointed to learn that 'De Gaulle' was derived from Dutch, and did not mean 'from Gaul' because that would've been kino
Also, this is just recency bias, wouldn't Louis XIV or Louis IX be a far better candidate. Charlemagne too, but I suppose people might dispute him being called 'French'
>What is the general opinion of Napoleon in modern day France?
Most people don't have opinions about him at all. He's seen as a figure from the past that has little relevance to today's world, like Louis XIV.
Yes, progressivism, which is the only real French religion currently, cannot exist if it doesn't demonize the very concept of the past. The past has to be presented as fundamentally morally evil, in order to the present to appear superior, and to justify the continuation of the progressive ideology.
Which is why, in high school, student will spend a month on the middle ages, but 6 months on the holocaust, 3 months on Dreyfus, 1 year on the revolution, etc.
I would even say "have an opinion". When you see the young generations they dont even know Louis IX for example. All that matter to them is stupid nigger music and this kind of bullshits.
But strangely I see some youngs starting to realise the left is evil when they face the absurdity of trannies or stuff like that.
Imagine if Napoleon was alive and getting up to his shenanigans today. Regardless of how he performed Any Forums and the rest of three world would just rip on him for being short lol
De Gaulle a fait barrage aux communistes, espèce de pd va !
>Prefers foreign invaders to his countrymen with different political opinions
>Call others traitors
Toi t’es un sale traître collabo ! C’est dommage que De Gaulle n’a pas laissé les gens se chargé des types comme toi, sale sous-race !
Kek you are a retard. Never heard of the great nationalist purge after the war ? Of course not, not even our history books mention it and daily reminder this clown abandonned Algeria, if today is an Algeria bis its because of this faggot.
He was above average height for his era stupid leaf
