Same Here! Especially With How Isolationist/non-interventionist The US Was Pre-WW2. After All, I Can't

Same here! Especially with how isolationist/non-interventionist the US was pre-WW2. After all, I can't remember if the move was exceptionally popular, but even post-WW2 there were people wanting to do what we did after WW1 and just go back to a more isolationist policy.

If anything Alfred would realistically be more of an 'ambivert' when dealing with other nations. Not out of hatred, our boy just has a long history of being a shut-in unless it pertains to business/politcs😆! Alfred would probably be someone who is extremely self-reliant, if we go by even the loosest terms of historical accuracy.

It just really gives off vibes odd vibes in a way. Though that may be the side of me who's studied the history of a lot of more 'anti-American' historians from the 1600s-now. A lot of the way Alfred is treated in fandom (as you said very much in a 'condescending' way), seems almost how writers like Samuel Johnson viewed Americans even before they became independent (ex. Americans are stupid, violent, they have no culture).

Apologies for the mini rant btw. I was just talking with someone on another website about this, so it all came out in a bit of a 'word vomit'😅. Even more so since I'm a huge American history nerd, and from your blog you are as well, so I'm using you as an excuse to ramble😅!

Man, I get that canonically Alfred can be a bit childish, but the amount of straight-up condescending infantilization I see him get hit with by a lot of fans is, uh, pretty grating.

happy birthday to the best fictional character I know

Happy Independence Day!!\

Most notably Charles Dickens' first visit to the US.

He had some understandable criticisms about things (namely slavery), but overall he seemed to hate everything different form him😭. Bro basically complained about poor frontiersmen not behaving like European aristocrats💀.

Some aristocrat: *talking nonsense about a subject they know nothing about*

America: You didn't have to come here you know😑. We'd be fine without your commentary😒

Alfred/Mary in the 19th century when dealing with the overflow of aristocratic British and French travelers that are visiting them to make their totally 100% legitimate "intellectual observations" when they are really just there to hunt them down to shallowly gawk at, insult, and poke and prod them like weird, exotic animals
