ITT: Absolutely awful human beings with unfairly positive reputations with lapersons

I'll start with an easy one, Boudica - both a colossal piece of shit AND incompetent.

Genghis Khan. 21st century revisionism portrays him as an enlightened leader that valued religious tolerance and meritocracy, which is partially true, but those values are very heavily outweighed by his horrific brutality which was shocking and extremely even for the time.

Lol Watling Street

Worked for French and British intelligence.
Also he was self-deceptive beyond all reason.
All things considered he was a pioneer of what homosexuals call society of the spectacle.
Not the guy you are talking with btw.

Constantine the stutterer, a.k.a 'Michael Psellos'.

>enlightened leader that valued religious tolerance and meritocracy
This is 100% true though. It doesn't change the bloodshed, but as a leader of his people and empire-builder, he was pretty based. "Revising" the meme that he was a stupid savage is a good thing. It's just not good to overlook the damage he did.

Goebbels was a good guy.

JFK. He originally ran *to the right* of Eisenhower and Nixon, was an active mafia supporter, and chose to do the Bay of Pigs. Nearly ended the world during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The opposite would be Nixon. He was a good man with a bad reputation.

Didn't his opening of communications with China fucked the US in the end? I am really ignorant about him with the exception of him not being a crook.

FDR getting credit for fixing the great depression is the most laughable piece of propoganda ive ever heard.

Quite possibly, but he did escalate the war in Vietnam and conduct a secret bombing of Laos and cambodia.

I don't think Hitler was as evil as people made him out to be and no - I'm no nazi apologizer. I think he was as "indoctrinated" and "troubled" as his followers who was made to believe shit. Himmler, Mengele etc were actual psychopaths for example.

What was so awful about Boudica?

How is Robespierre perceived positively? His time as the head of the state is called the Reign of Terror.

How did he get away with it?

She slaughtered entire towns.

Hitler

Her rebellion failed completely and the majority of people she killed were fellow Britons who had been Romanised.

Fucking this, he was also the one who got us into vietnam and a notorious womanizer at that. I will never understand the fucking JFK cult of personality.

>What was so awful about Boudica?

Mass murder of civillian populations.

Nothing. Five hundred years earlier Pericles was using Athenians settlers and sympathisers as a way to keep their subject allies in line. Boudica's army wasn't going to let a bunch of fifth columnists ruin their chances at independence.
Delusional Romaboos who think that liking them means they need to turn them into dindus need to get Hosea 8:7 into their heads.

To end a war he didnt even start.

Pinochet was pretty awful but I agree a lot of people sugarcoat Allende. His economic policies were a trainwreck.

Pinochet was pretty cool actually. Most of the cruel unnecessary acts committed under his regime were actually done by command of Manuel Contreras and, funnily enough, his wife.

Also, the worst thing about Allende, which isn't mentioned very often, is that wages went down from 100% at the start of his government to 33% by the end, only increase during the average of the first three months. It was the most retarded thing ever.

Although to be honest, his brutality has been over-exaggerated. During his attacks on cities he would always demand surrender before he actually launched any assault and also the numbers of people killed are also slightly exaggerated, written down a lot later after the events. Furthermore, most contemporaries who critiqued him were westerners which, contrary to your view, were just as bad, arguably even worse in some aspects

It’s always been funny to me the fact that the Chilean left tried to hide the fact that he commited suicide by instead trying to make people believe he was killed by the military. Even his wife said he got killed by the military, and it took for the doctor who declared him dead to break the silence.

Fucking this.

If you kill a bunch of Slav civilians, no one cares.

Yes but the laotians and cambodians deserved it

Bingo.

Murdered 700,000 people.
Installed Ante Pavelic.
Destroyed Italy.

Won't the whiteys get genocided though?

He destroyed Greece.

Fuck Mussolini

ITS NOT A CONCENTRATION CAMP! ITS A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY!

Reminder that he is the one who caused the cuban missile crises by saying the Russians should keep their missles in cuba

Boudicca did NOTHING wrong given her position.

It's just a shame that she wasn't either:

a)a better commander

or

B)able to extend more control and exercise more strategy through a decentralized tribal army.

If someone rapes you and your daughters, everything you do to get back at them is forgivable. That's the basic, pan-universal law.

Why are you purposefully leaving out the Chinese and Middle eastern sources?

If anything Robespierre is overly vilified relative to his actual involvement. There are far worse monsters in the French revolution who go forgotten.

I will agree tho RIP Danton. Even Robespierre felt bad about that one.

just listened to the In Our Time episode on her. They said the only evidence we have for her comes from 2 Roman texts.

Incompetent
Barbaric
Woman

Being a Barbarian Woman isn't an insult, and being Incompetent doesn't make her an "awful person".

Alexander
Julius Caesar
Napoleon

They were all mass murdering, genocidal dictators and warmongers. If they did the same things they did in the present day they would be reviled. This pretty much also applies to any “great man” throughout history in general.

That is true but I don't think we should judge them by standards of the present era.

For example Caesar was a war criminal by standards of the age, but compared to what raider steppe tribes or the Assyrians did, not so much.

Don't forget that he was also a sickly drug addict.

In so far is the word Barbarian means anything, it's bat shit to label HER a barbarian when the whole thing was started by the Romans raping and pillaging the Iceni after the Iceni peacefully and without a fight gave the Romans everything they could possibly want. It doesn't get any more barbaric than that.

>Gave the vote to the American people in place of an electoral system

Romaboos on this board get upset when their tactics are used against them.

Nigga Caesar was literally called a war criminal by people in the senate and many people even outside of the optimates thought what he was doing in Gaul wasn't right.

This, and given the realities she wasnt as incompetent as she is usually made out to be.
>Inb4 numbers
Its very clear that Dio and Tactitus' numbers are heavily inflated. Usually for every 6 people in barbarian hordes only 1 of them is a combatant. Which pulls Boudicca's strength down to 40,000, still a large number but not as bad as 230,000 (and still probably inflated).
Also, people usually forget that she still was able to burn the Roman capital and route a legion already.
Thats not to understate Paulinus's success of course, but still.

He was a Marxist. Mass incarceration is the MO of Communist regimes around the world.

>Never understand
Whats there to get? He got his head blown off, people always suck the ethereal dicks of people who are murdered/commit suicide, regardless of reality.

>Napoleon
>Mass murder, genocide
I see this thrown around all the damn time. Yes, a lot of wars were fought over him, and a lot of people died. That does not make him genocidal nor a mass murderer.
Sure, things like the Spanish conflict were brutal, but that was the nature of it.

He did more to damage the empire than anyone like Washington or Ghandi ever could.

>How did he get away with it?
Because there were Japanese spy rings in the US hiding in the Japanese-American population, and because if he hadn't separated them from rest of the population the American people would have done it for him, far less humanely.

>muh adultery

Virgins pls go

Powerful men have sex with lots of females, get over it

Yeah, that's why the only rightful King is Jesus Christ, the King of Jerusalem. Worshipping any other Kings will make you disillusioned, as you realize them as just false imitators of God that ended up horribly. Also, it might be controversial, but add Constantine, the Popes responsible for Crusades and Muhammad to that list too.

Powerful people are amoral oftentimes. It's not an excuse.
