You know, I am not a historian. And I'm not gonna talk as if I know anything about how kings were viewed by the people.

But in my mind kings can be "good" in the same way slave owners can be "good". Not that much, if any at all, contextually.

Why not compare them to their modern equivalents? They seem mostly the same as politicians today, except some actually cared about the people the ruled.

Nah, I think the rich are the kings, politicians are their court.

We have a bunch of little kings with a public court that theyre all trying to use for themselves.

IDK you but I think you cant get rich by being a good person. You actively have to ignore others' needs to focus on growth, to use people.
