Obviously excluding like Hitler, that’s a gimme.
Can be a good or a bad person.
My vote goes to Churchill or Reagan. Absolutely ignorant people of history.

Genghis Khan. You shouldn't respect the world conqueror just because he did it on horseback & had some glowing histories written about him.
It's cringe to admire any conqueror but at least like Napoleon or Suleiman didn't burn and slaughter every other city they captured

Tbf what would Marx do in pop culture write a bunch?
If historical records are anything to go by; drink, sleep, and leech off of Engels.
Extremely relatable character imo

Not even 'refusing to surrender', it was anything short of sublication the day the Mongols showed up. God forbid you try to defend yourselves against a raiding party pillaging the countryside, Merv's garrison beat an early Mongol group but surrendered later, got massacred.
In fact, it's totally fucked framing to act like self-defense is on the same level as an invading army, the Mongols did not deserve revenge for people making their conquest difficult
What glowing histories? Histories of the Mongol empire make the black book of communism look conservative in its accounting.
the primary source that's most detailed--the secret history of the mongols--makes Genghiz look really good & justified
