idk what to think about him in particular, he's a historical figure who did stuff I'm not all that knowledgable about, but I do strongly dislike his dynasty's later actions toward Spanish and Portuguese missionaries, the suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion, and the Shogunate's sakoku (closed country) policy.
so I suppose he may have set a bad precedent
the more abhorrent Bolshevik stuff Sinn Fein does and says the harder it is for me not to sympathize with the DUP even if I tried
I shouldn't be surprised given that they're the political wing of the notoriously Marxist and pro-Soviet PIRA but still
