In the real world kings are nothing but autocrats that can wreck a nation's fortunes in a fit of pique no matter how splendid the scepter or how shiny the crown.
Elected politicians have been doing that to America for the past half-century. Some would say that they've been doing that for over a century now. Elected politicians approved of legislation that persecuted minorities, (Woodrow Wilson and his discrimination policies) led to the genocide of entire tribes, (Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee) spent the nation's resources in failed wars and welfare programs, (LBJ) and created a surveillance state that makes the secret police forces of most monarchies look like a joke. (George Bush II, Barack Obama)
Being a democracy didn't prevent America's politicians from inflicting the kind of damage upon the country that very few absolute monarchs in history have ever done upon their own. Heck, the first thing John Adams did when he got into power was to go full mad tyrant and persecute anyone who approved of the French Revolution. Monarchs are no more destructive than democratic politicians are. As for the kings, most monarchs are just bean-counters with a crown, being forced to balance the interests of the peasants, the lords, and the established church, while making sure all three classes either needed them or supported them one way or another. Few of them ever go mad like Nero, and those who do end up getting overthrown by their lords or shanked by their guards. Just look at Byzantium. Unpopular Emperors get deposed rather quickly.
We also gave away control of our banks to private investors, instead of letting representatives of the people control the nation's largest bank, which means that our economy is at the mercy of private bankers who have no check or balance against their influence or power. At least most monarchies had either the king or the parliament control the central bank.
BY THE WAY, it is kind of funny that of all the things Bob could be criticizing, he doesn't give a flying shit about how the Federal Reserve is screwing over the economy with its endless money-printing. These bankers are capitalists, they're the avowed enemies of socialists, and their rampant money-printing will destroy the worth of many people's savings in the long run. And yet not a peep from MovieBlob himself. The one time when we need him to talk about the damage capitalists are doing to the economy, and he's as silent as the grave.
And under western capitalist democracies, traditional family structures have deteriorated more and more. We went from having large families to having nuclear families, then the intelligentsia attacked even that and called for the abolition of the family as it was seen as an oppressive force. Capitalism and democracy are far from being as destructive as the Communist SUPERIOR FUTURE that people like Moviebob peddle, but it wasn't necessarily a boon for traditional family structures, either. Especially with many parents going full helicopter parent mode to make more money from work, leaving most of their kids at the hands of nannies and an increasingly incompetent state school system.
There's someone out there with that exact fetish. Too bad his weight is one of Bob's GOOD qualities.
Not even. As much as Bob FUCKING HATES the hillbilly middle-America crowd, one thing he shares with many of them is his largess and heavy weight. If there really will be a new regime that imposes its SUPERIOR FUTURE on us, Bob would be one of the first to get sterilized or shot for being overweight and therefore, incapable of committing to heavy labor duties that a "superior human" would be able to. A government that wants a SUPERIOR FUTURE for humanity would want all the men to be like Captain Falcon or Batman, all muscle, no fat. Bob would be seen as an unfit specimen and would either get sterilized or even eradicated.
Like drinking poison and hoping the other guy dies indeed. If they weren't so infuriating, their existence would be pitiable. It's quite pathetic, really. People like Bob, no matter what good comes out of their life, will ever be able to truly enjoy it. All Bob and those like him see are an endless battle where there can only be one winner. It's an exhausting fight: constantly changing objectives, no real path to victory, and the only certainty is that the fight will never truly end. All it would take is something as simple as stopping and the smelling the roses, so to speak. But they're incapable, trapped in this seemingly inescapable hell of their own making where the hills to die on are infinite.
And the sad thing is, Bob trapped himself in that kind of prison on purpose. He just hates the right that much. He whines about having gone to Catholic school, even though most kids today would probably see that as a boon considering how the public school system is slowly disintegrating before our eyes. (They just admitted that the Common Core system they created is a failure, meaning that all the teachers who have been training in the past four years trained for nothing since they were trained to use it and now, it's being replaced.) Bob doesn't know how to count his blessings. Despite going to a private school, and despite growing up in one of gaming's best eras, he's still filled with anger and hatred. He hates the right-wingers, he hates the FPS-playing dudebro crowd, and the only thing that can fill Bob's heart with joy is seeing others suffer.
I don't know if it's envy, or wrath. Maybe it's both.
Guarantee it.
You really think a person who honestly opines about genociding his own countrymen to create a better future, and sees himself as some kind of uber-elite citizen, despite no commensurate accomplishment to justify such, would temper his message just from having some quality time with a lady? It's obvious from his constant stream of invective that he's too sour of a person to see any joy in life from anything that isn't directly crushing his opponents or supporting those he sees as crushing his opponents, his own life's accomplsihements are kind of a distant second in that race.
Even if he ends up with a beautiful woman in his bed, if he sees another right-winger having a hot lady as well, he'll go nuts and go on a tirade about how they don't deserve to have hot sexy women because they shouldn't breed. It wouldn't be enough for him to have a hot, sexy babe like Jessica Rabbit, unless all the right-wingers can't get a date at all, because women should be hanging out with guys like him who have all the "right" opinions!
He's not concerned if he wins, he just wants everyone else to LOSE.
Which means that even if God grants him the same kind of wealth that would make Bill Gates look like a pauper, he still won't be satisfied until everyone who disagreed with him is in the poorhouse or the grave.
Nothing can improve on that outlook, he can't have empathy for others, he doesn't even seem to have it for himself as evident by the way he's immune to any kind of self-improvement and lives not for self-actualization but destruction of others who got "ahead" of him despite being "the wrong kind" of people.
He sees empathy for the "wrong" kind of people as evil in itself. Are you truly that surprised? He's no different than a Soviet Commissar who will shoot one of his soldiers if said soldier shows mercy to his capitalist enemies.
His entire reason for living at this point is to see his political enemies suffer an unbroken stream of defeats until he dies or they die, nothing else matters at this point, nothing else can stir any response besides hate in his dark little heart as long as he has to suffer a mayoghoul to live. Only if his side "wins" can he ever turn to actually being able to have some fun...... people like him die relatively young and relatively bitter from making "everyone not like me is gone" a condition of their happiness.... which they at some point resign themselves to never being able to reach anyway.... instead of learning it doesn't have to be that way.
Oh, that's not going to be enough for Bob to be happy, guaranteed. Even if all right-wingers die tomorrow, the left will spiral upon itself and begin accusing each other of being closet right-wingers, and you can bet your ass Bob would start attacking those whom he thinks are fair-weather friends in an effort to create his SUPERIOR FUTURE by purifying the left.
Imagine having a mug like Bob's and daring to call anyone else ugly or subhuman.
People made fun of how Hitler was this unfit specimen of a human being despite the Nazi rhetoric about the "Master Race". Bob sees the right-wingers as ugly, subhuman creatures, while he's not even close to being the picture of human perfection which he obviously imagines himself as.
