Believe it or not, I used to be a staunch conservative. Then, I educated myself and looked at the facts and logic. Now, here we are. I used to be just your every day traditional Bonapartist. Now, I'm not. I'm sortof but not quite.

I've heard your logic and reason spiel before.

Simple. Eliminate any rights determined to be political - the right to vote, the right to free press [state-controlled press is a must], the right to free speech is regulated. No political parties; everyone must conform to State ideology and teaching. Also, eliminate 'rights' which aren't necessary for one to live a good life. Guns belong in the hands of law enforcement and military alone. Anyone who illegally has a weapon is a dissident, and if they don't hand it over, they'll be arrested and detained. Eliminate a few other rights here and there that are mostly political or not social, at least.

Then, by virtue of the State's constitution or founding document, ensure the following rights are assured and enforced: the right to marry for any man or woman of consenting age regardless of sexuality, sex, or gender. The right for anyone to identify as they wish, and be identified and acknowledged as such by the State. The right to not be turned down service regardless of race, sex, gender, sexuality, or any other causes. I could go on but I think you get the gist.

Wow. I'm not sure I would describe your ideology as being "Bonapartiste" but well, at least now I know a little more about your ideas.


Someone pointed me in Bonapartism's direction, and it is very similar to what type of State I want; just replace the conservatism (political conservatism, as far as I can tell) with social liberalism. Or add social liberalism since authoritarian politics are technically politically ultraconservative, I suppose.

It did wonders for me. Not quite sure why it doesn't do wonders for others. Hence why I believe that the State should be as I have described it.

Hadrian was the Emperor of Rome, meaning he had an awful lot of influence on the world being the leader of Rome.

Who gives a crap? If they're the same faith it shouldn't matter.
If the question is actually important, somehow(let's just assume Kauth is asking the internets for advice about his personal life), then it depends on all sorts of complicated things like the countries in question and whatnot.

it was a general question based off of recent events in my personal life, I'll keep it at that ;)

No. Just no.

We're talking about Hadrien the man versus Napoléon the man and not their respective Empire took as a whole.
If we're comparing the two then, yes. Napoléon did influenced the world way more and for way longer than Hadrien did.

Logic and reason are the grounds for a Secular, Humanist State of almost any kind. I cannot think of a logical or reasonable thing that is found in the Bible, a 2,000 year old book that was written by people who would've thought a cell phone was magic or godly, that would make me think it should be law and that we should live according to some old religion that makes zero sense most of the time.

Hadrian has probably had less influence on the world today than Napoleon, although Napoleon has a significant time advantage. Napoleon has had nowhere near as much influence on western culture than Julius or Augustus, though.

Everyone thinks their views are the most logical and in most cases they're obviously wrong. So if your whole selling point is "moar logickal" you're not going to get far.

I don't feel like being a virgin is something you pin your greatness on. Besides, she's not Mary so you're automatically wrong if you're a Christian.

Cyrus was a greater king than William (So was Victoria if you count queens, which you should), and Genghis Khan was a greater Emperor than Napoleonhonhon (So was Victoria if you count empresses of India, which you should).

And greatest socialist? Not that much of an achievement.

The reason I say mine is more logical and reasonable is because I don't justify my position with magic sky fairies and their omnipotent bearded wizard guy who likes to play magician and has a god-complex.

His treatment of one of his brothers (the king of Holland) was appalling, but other than that, I can't really recall anything that he had that showed particularly bad character. I don't think he was a saint, he was as selfish as any other ruler, but I found him more sympathetic than anything.

Yes, but at least with those I can see how someone could logically and reasonably conclude that their position and governmental system might be justified.
