    Oh no I absolutely agree with just about all of that, and the colonists were absolutely violent and self interested. I just don’t think you can call them reactionary in the context. The monarchists were the reactionaries that were only limiting settlement to prevent any further costly wars and keep settlers in their zone of control where they could be taxed, not for any noble cause. I feel like I’m just splitting hairs now though and drifting from your actual point which is valid, that most modern Americans have this flowery and childish view that the revolution was a battle of good vs evil. That never really plays out in reality across time. Those Brits garrisoned in Boston definitely had it coming though.

    In this household, Shit Cumdick is an Italian American hero, END OF STORY!

    Actually, come to think of it, Tony Soprano is a great example of this. The show is literally about him going to therapy because he can’t face the fact that he’s a toxic POS and he’s still lionized by a ton of people. The guy cheats on his wife on the regular, murders his own supposed friends, and is constantly just doing all manner of shithead stuff, but the morons still love him.
