He was a little cringe, a little based. There’s too much nuance to this little life. I think the collared shirt under the metal breastplate is badass.

He was a stone cold incel chud and inspired this kino
I like him

Evil dictator who genocided the Irish and let evil Jews back into England

Nvm i hate him with all my heart

anti-monarchy so he did something right

>>214701995 (OP)
On one hand I respect the 'fine I'll do it myself' attitude but I don't like what he did to the Irish on the other.
I think the tank named after him is pretty cool though.

He was someone ahead of his time and people's opinion of him will improve over time

>>214704563
hasn't happened in 400 years

He's the reason why the crazy protestants fled the UK to America

>>214704563
...and I consider him to be one my personal heroes despite his faults

>>214704382
>declared his son his successor

>>214704682
depends on who you ask

>>214704817
not just a monarchy thing, very common with dictators

Hero. Very underrated historical figure.

>>214701995 (OP)
He was the greatest leader in English history.

Not true btw, literally just a myth. Everyone seems to forget that Charles II and even more so William of Orange are more responsible for that.

>>214704685
That was already happening, and Cromwell was considering emigration to America, before he assumed power.

He let jews enter England after based Edward I had them expelled and banned, leading to the inevitable decline and collapse of the anglo race

/fa/ bros, what do you think of the white collar on armour?

>>214701995 (OP)
"Lord protector" is a bad ass title.

>>214707216
So much cooler than the faggy cavalier attire.

>>214701995 (OP)
genociding the irish was bad and he was also a cucked puritan
but killing the royals, getting rid of the monarchy and fucking up the uk was based as fuck
so it's kind of a positive

>>214707259
I admire the Irish for rebelling but you can't blame Cromwell for being a capable leader. Plenty of other monarchs failed at conquering Ireland, but Cromwell knew what it took and achieved it.

>>214707313
You can conquer ireland with 3 normans and a Basque, its nothing special.

>>214701995 (OP)
Looks like uncanningly inbred. Hard pass.

>>214702052
>let evil Jews back into England
That by itself is enough to curse all his ancestors/descendants

>>214701995 (OP)
Murderous dictator

starving 70% of the population you mean

>>214707834
That's an exaggeration.

Benevolent peacegiver

I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THE TIMES WHEN
THE ENGLISH ARE SICK TO DEATH OF LABOR AND TORIES
AND SPIT UPON THE NAME OLIVER CROMWELL
AND DENOUNCE THIS ROYAL LINE THAT STILL SALUTES HIM
AND WILL SALUTE HIM FOREVER

He murdered the king of Scotland without any contact between England and Scotland which was a major diplomatic failure and lead to the restoration of the monarchy in England

Crazy knob that banned Christmas.

>>214701995 (OP)
He employed the finest witch finders. So many men were so lucky to be rid of their annoying wives.

REMEMBER PORTADOWN. I'M CROMWELL, PROTECTOR OF THE REALM! AND NOW I GO WITH FLOWERS TO SEE MY LOVELY ANN, I GO AND TELL HER THAT HER DEATH WAS NOT IN VAIN

Oliver Cromwell was great, but history may have turned out better had he accepted the crown when he was offered it. It is also possible he should have done a better job preparing his son, but parents aren't always to blame for their children's failure.

Can you honestly say you wouldn't have done things to the Irish after Portadown?

Makes me wonder if he didn't expect to die so soon.

>>214709386
Believing you have more time left than you have the right to expect is a common fault. I can't claim to be free from it myself.

>>214701995 (OP)
Very very based but shame with the Irish

>>214701995 (OP)
he was based imo

He has that specific inhuman anglo look that tries to monopolize the word "white" for itself and its abjacents, only for the result to end up with the word white considered an insult and a word signifying inferiority.

>>214701995 (OP)
I like when they were like
>yeah uhh guys the king can't break the law
>we uh ignore that law and sentence him to death

>>214701995 (OP)
I like this Dutch medallion, with Cromwell baring his arse with his head in Britannia's lap, and the French and Spanish ambassadors arguing over who gets to kiss it first

>>214702031
Utterly superb film; practically perfect acting from Cromwell. I loved whenever he got all puritanical, and especially when he(anachronisticly) strongly refuses the crown. Wish we had more historical English dramas like this vs just girl ballroom crap.

>>214711887
But people with the specific inhuman Anglo look are superior to you.

>>214712624
England, and the world for that matter, no longer have actors of the calibre of Richard Harris or Alec Guinness.
