Most Overrated Person Of All Time Debate Thread

Thomas Fuckface Edison, may he rot for all eternity in every hell until the sun burns out
Nikola Tesla, just some yugoslav pigeon-fucker who invented a couple of electrical devices and spouted a lot of bullshit about earthquake machines and shit which never worked.
This feud is so fucking gay.
Thomas Edison was a savvy businessman and inventor who founded a major company that still exists to this day: now operating as General Electric Aerospace. His very real accomplishments literally embody American exceptionalism.
Hating on him is the ultimate midwit take, typically given by people vaguely familiar with his rivalry with Tesla (which didn't even directly involve Tesla. The rivalry was Edison v. Westinghouse).
Tesla was absolutely a brilliant inventor who kinda got shafted. But he did have a habit of overstating his inventions and basically half the shit people credit him for he never even fucking claimed to do.
 
Abolishing slavery was good, granting niggers equality and setting them loose upon Whites was not good. If he shipped them to Africa or sent them to Mexico it'd be a little different, but it still wasn't worth waging Civil War over.
IIRC Lincoln wanted to send the slaves to Liberia and didn't want to punish the South too much. He essentially tardwrangled the rest of the Republicans. Once he was shot, the 1800s equivalent of libshits were let loose upon the nation.

Forget Tesla. This has nothing to do with Tesla, presumptuous yellow man.

Thomas Edison was a psychopath and a cock connoisseur.
If there is a hell, he’s there.
I don't think anyone ever claimed Edison was a nice guy. This is a thread about people who are overrated, not people who are assholes.
Edison hate, as I said, is a very standard midwit take. It's hard to say anything positive about the guy without some fucking Redditor jumping in to dump on the reputation he rightfully earned. If anything, he's underrated in the modern day because of how prevalent apocryphal myths about electrocuting elephants have become.
 
Margaret Atwood has to be the most overrated author of our times. The handmaid's tale is unreadable slop.
Let me guess, you're a straight man? Of course you wouldn't get it, that book is thinly veiled wank material for women.
It's women's erotica that got taken too seriously.

Thread tax: Churchill.

John Wilkes Booth fucked the entire west by giving radicals in the US government an eternal Nigger pass.
