#ricardians like ‘tudors are the birth of english exceptionalism - except for all the times WE want to use r3 ...#... as a symbol of ‘pure’ englishness and english nationalism.'#like be fucking fr.#the dissonance between ricardians claiming he was a socialist bc he did normal roles expected of a catholic ruler of his time#and their stringent conservatism is not unintentional or a contradictory … it’s ricardianism working as intended#much like homonationalism - it's using liberal/vaguely 'leftist' ideas to uphold inherently right wing superstructures#praising charity/funding projects as revolutionary and exceptional isolates these figures from the historical context of monarchy#and seeks to normalise monarchy within a modern structure that cannot accomodate medieval monarchist rhetoric#(and also removes dirty catholicism from their fave!)#richard iii was not a socialist and english exceptionalism IS profoundly attractive to ricardians#however admitting otherwise is difficult and ultimately ricardians are ideological and moral cowards <3#ricardians
