Sorry I applied a modern lens of analysis to your boyfriend. Yeah I've completely stripped him of historical and semantic context so that I could fit his story and tropes into my own moralistic view of the world. Yeah he's practically flavourless now. In fact this was the original boyfriend and you're a problematic historian for thinking otherwise.

if your circle isn’t talking about:

• bella plus quam civilia

• ius datum sceleri

• populus potens in sua victrici conversus viscera dextra

then it’s time to change friends.
