We already seen on the internet and even irl including a few discussions between highly intelligent people including those with educated background so many times of the meme that the French were so terrible at waging wars and running a state they needed a foreign immigrant from Italy to lead them to their greatest empire in their history while pro-French contingents would argue that during that time current countries like Germany as well as modern ethnic backgrounds like Swedish didn't exist and Napoleon lived in territory held by France so he was completely French as a result (along with the fact Italy didn't exist as a nation yet). So all the glorious achievements he accomplished should rightfully be held by the French people because he was a citizen of the then existing French kingdom.

Another flipside argument I seen is that he's proof of how France is a liberal nation because despite being a foreigner, he worked his way up to become emperor. So just like how France today has some black citizens who are in positions of considerable power in various governmental institutions of France and thus even some conservatives vouch that they are 100% French because they are model citizens, Napoleon is used by more open minded rightwingers of how anybody can make it in France to become a self-made man at the top of the system and that France doesn't see race and skin color, etc as factor.

I really strongly dislike these arguments vouching for Napoleon as a 100% French figure as well as those arguing he shouldn't be used by the French as a national symbol due to being Corsican.........

Because they ignored that he was an outcast for much of his young life from all sides from the Catholic Church to his native home island Corsica to mainstream French society and even at times his famly struggled with him.

The topic is so big that I will just focus specifically on his status in France. Growing up, he was mocked by his peers for his foreign accent in the military school he attended to. IN addition being from poorer nobility who now has lost much of their old wealth and glory along with his Italian background, Napoleon was short by the standards of French nobility (who made up the bulk of the mlitar schools he attended). So he was also mocked for his height and it was used as a point about his foreign background. While the biography I read focused on major life events and his schooling experience, it did point out instances less aggressive but still racist behavior

Corsican National Anthem https://youtu.be/19yj6kcqtac?t=6

NTW Theme for reference https://youtu.be/EJA5mSK53YI?t=18

Bonus:

https://youtu.be/21XF1Q00ytQ?t=330

This campaign track is essentially the NTW theme in major key but sounds also like part of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, which in turn borrows a lot from the French national anthem. Idk, these little things seem pretty interesting

PART 2: THE LONG AND TUMULTUOUS SHARED HISTORY OF ROMANCE AND GERMANIC NATIONS

2-D: THE OTHER ROMANCE AND GERMANIC NATIONS IN THE MIDDLE AGES

2-D-ε: ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL ROMANIA

ANTIQUITY (Wikipedia expands on this)

Greek colonies established on the Black Sea coast in the 7th century BC became important centres of commerce with the local tribes. Among the native peoples, Herodotus listed the Getae of the Lower Danube region, the Agathyrsi of Transylvania and the Syginnae of the plains along the river Tisza at the beginning of the 5th century BC. Centuries later, Strabo associated the Getae with the Dacians who dominated the lands along the southern Carpathian Mountains in the 1st century BC. Burebista was the first Dacian ruler to unite the local tribes. He also conquered the Greek colonies in Dobruja and the neighbouring peoples as far as the Middle Danube and the Balkan Mountains between around 55 and 44 BC. After Burebista was murdered in 44 BC, his kingdom collapsed.

The Romans reached Dacia during Burebista's reign and conquered Dobruja in 46 AD. Dacia was again united under Decebalus around 85 AD. He resisted the Romans for decades, but the Roman army defeated his troops in 106 AD. Emperor Trajan transformed Banat, [Oltenia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

For example, Ireland is doing its best to teach Irish Gaelic as a part of school curriculum. I am wondering if there's a national or regional movement to keep endangered/almost endangered languages alive such as Occitan, Breton, Corsican, Sicilian, Saami......etc.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
