Yeah, that's true. There was something of a theme of Tudors falling off in their later years.

Came here to post exactly this lmao
After last year where redditors were calling Henry Kissinger a tankie because he was pushing for Ukraine to go to the negotiating table I realised the term was going to be completely meaningless from then on.
me, a genius: hey chatGPT, write a bunch of chatGPT prompts
This is how the AI singularity happens
Sounds a lot like the UK where the narrative is "It was awful when rail was nationalised and all the trains were run down and late as opposed to today, where trains are run down and late and also it costs £350 to travel from London to Manchester"

None of them probably even know who Boudica is.
This is certainly true of the reactionaries of today although strangely Victorian Britain did sometimes use Boudica, and celtic resistance to the Roman occupation in general, as something of a propaganda tool against rival European powers which is pretty confusing. Guess it's a bit like how right wing Italians will try and invoke Giuseppe Garibaldi even though he was involved in the First International.
Oh god I remember that shit, they also invoked Henry VIII as a great white UK hero which is hilarious given that he was a lousy king who undermined the Kingdom of England's position as a regional power with all of his bullshit. Not sure why they didn't go for Elizabeth I who was a far more competent English leader from a right wing/establishment perspective. I guess they didn't want to include too many women.
Of course, fascists are never going to be good at understanding history, it was around the same time that the BNP was sending out leaflets with a picture of a Spitfire on the cover - a Spitfire in Free Polish markings lmao.
I have a real soft spot for robots that look like something out of an old timey sci fi with tank tracks and gadgets that do really specific things.
This picture is demanding a debate about "age of consent tyranny" via Reddit DMs.
