I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src
idk how silly it is, they both came from humble origins, became unquestioned dictator of their respective countries, and conquered almost all of Europe before losing everything
Napoleon was an enlightened despot who allowed his people a lot of enlightenment era freedoms... he was not an "unquestioned dictator" like Hitler. When he conquered a place he also usually set up a government that gave people much more freedoms than the preceding monarchy.

I'll say it plainly: imperialism under an enlightened leader is a good thing. Napoleon shouldn't have stopped at Russia.

There is a long-ass article about similarities between Hitler and Napoleon

Napoleon was the only half-decent thing to come out of the french revolution, comparing him to Hitler is quite silly.
