Can anyone here point out a godol beYisroel over the last generations who pushed his greatness to the forefront as much as the Lubavicher rebbe did?
This is twisting the facts and extremely disrespectful. Anyone who knows anything about the Rebbe knows his incredible anivus.
All those things you quoted were actually said about his father-in-law. His anivus was so great, that he never publicly called himself the Rebbe. He constantly said that the Rebbe and nossi was his father-in-law.
Even by the official “kabbolas hanesius” on Yud Shevat (after a full year of begging by the chassidim, and his constant refusal) he never officially said “I am Rebbe”. He just hinted to accepting it with a maamar.
Yet, he stil continued to consider his father-in-law the Rebbe.
The chassidim were the ones who pushed his greatness to the forefront. They gave him the same honor that he gave to his father-in-law.
