i'm attempting to create a list (from 10 being the least alpha to 1 being most alpha) of the chadiest chads that ever chaded.
criteria:
>they must have held a position of power or acquired a position of power.
>no one past 1991 anyone before that is fine.
points i'm judging them on:
>significant alpha things they did.
>how old where they when they did significant alpha things.
>how people remembered them.
>bonus points for amazing facial hair.
Portugal's Salazar.
>literally march up to the king and tell him to make you PM
>cuck the king out of his power after that
Alexander (just stating the obvious) and maybe Caesar?
lmaoooo he stayed back in milan like a pussy ass bitch
Gustavus Adolphus, so alpha that after his passing Sweden began its decline into becoming the quintessential virgin country
OP here, another point im judging is how they died.
hmmmmm... doesn't sound like he left his country in a very good position, by your own words. Didn't Charles XII come after him though?
Sweden remained in a good position, but began its slow and steady decline from great power status that was eventually embodied in the death of Karl XII.
Oh, ok. Thanks.

>And it would seem that if ever a man was ruined by his own exalted reputation, that man was Alcibiades. His continuous successes gave him such repute for unbounded daring and sagacity, that when he failed in anything, men suspected his inclination; they would not believe in his inability. Were he only inclined to do a thing, they thought, naught could escape him. So they expected to hear that the Chians also had been taken, along with the rest of Ionia. 3 They were therefore incensed to hear that he had not accomplished everything at once and speedily, to meet their wishes. They did not stop to consider his lack of money. This compelled him, since he was fighting men who had an almoner of bounty in the Great King, to leave his camp frequently and sail off in quest of money for rations and wages. The final and prevailing charge against him was due to this necessity.
>The Athenians were greatly depressed at the loss of their supremacy. But when Lysander robbed them of their freedom too, and handed the city over to thirty men, then, their cause being lost, their eyes were opened to the course they would not take when salvation was yet in their power. They sorrowfully rehearsed all their mistakes and follies, the greatest of which they considered to be their second outburst of wrath against Alcibiades. 2 He had been cast aside for no fault of his own; but they got angry because a subordinate of his lost a few ships disgracefully, and then they themselves, more disgracefully still, robbed the city of its ablest and most experienced general. And yet, in spite of their present plight, a vague hope still prevailed that the cause of Athens was not wholly lost so long as Alcibiades was alive. He had not, in times past, been satisfied to live his exile's life in idleness and quiet; nor now, if his means allowed, would he tolerate the insolence of the Lacedaemonians and the madness of the Thirty.
>The party sent to kill him did not dare to enter his house, but surrounded it and set it on fire. When Alcibiades was aware of this, he gathered together most of the garments and bedding in the house and cast them on the fire. Then, wrapping his cloak about his left arm, and drawing his sword with his right, he dashed out, unscathed by the fire, before the garments were in flames, and scattered the Barbarians, who ran at the mere sight of him. Not a man stood ground against him, or came to close quarters with him, but all held aloof and shot him with javelins and arrows. Thus he fell, and when the Barbarians were gone, Timandra took up his dead body, covered and wrapped it in her own garments, and gave it such brilliant and honourable burial as she could provide.
Napoleon
came to post this
he was the spirit of fascism incarnate
I think he represents fascism in the ethical aspect alone, and only marginally in the political/economic/ideological. as a man who lived under his own rules and did what he felt like doing, in many ways he was much closer to an individualistic Einzige/Anarch/Übermensch than anything else
Collins is probably the biggest chad ever to come from Ireland, except perhaps Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill or Tom Barry.

What? Do you constantly feel the need to project your pathetic existence onto men who actually made a difference in the world?
Brainlets struggling with the concept of a spectrum
Deng Xiaoping has to be somewhere.

He utterly played the Euros.
He also dismantled a potential rebellion and military coup from pissed off unpaid officers simply by PUTTING ON HIS FUCKING GLASSES IN THEIR PRESENCE, causing all the hardened military men to back down while crying and swearing allegiance to him. The guy had gravitas.
Is there anything more chad-y than tearing through several countries to reach at and murder fuck your arch nemesis?
Don't forget about mootxico!
