These chucklefucks keep getting this part so wrong. No dictator stays benevolent for long. We’ve got something like 60 centuries of history to back that up. Eventually they demand unwavering fealty to their, and only theirs alone, lineage.
I feel like sometimes dressing up as Gandalf and smacking these idiots over their head and reminding them “only one who can bend them to his will. And he does not share power!”
Like for fucks sake this is such an ingrained human trait we’re making fucking fictional stories based off it and needing zero additional information on why anyone would desire such a monopoly on power.
I swear the lot of these people have their heads firmly planted deep into their lower digestive tract.
These degenerates are also completely incapable of choosing someone who would be benevolent even for a moment. They just want someone who hates the same people they hate to be able to bypass checks and balances to hurt the people they want to hurt. There’s no deeper political philosophy here.
These chucklefucks keep getting this part so wrong. No dictator stays benevolent for long.
Not just that, the implication here is that “benevolence” is objective, which is a fundamentally religious point of view. But in the real world, one man’s benevolent dictator would be another man’s tyrant.
But even in the liturgical sense of benevolence, schism is a thing, and often enough that we literally made the word schism for that and everyone else just adopted it to means a break of different ideas that used to be one.
So even those of the same religion have over time turned on each other. There’s just been no successful consolidation of organized power under a single person or dictum that stayed free of eventually violence to it’s own members. Power always thirsts more power. That’s been all of history.
Eventually they demand unwavering fealty to their, and only theirs alone, lineage.
We don’t even have to wait for this eventuality. Trump is the embodiment of this process pressed into an ultrapure essence already. He demands fealty to one person, himself.

They all imagine themselves Caesar imagining himself Cincinnatus.
Yep … a severe case of Cranial Rectal Inversion.
