No one deposes a king because of their belief in democracy. They do it because the king has used his power to harm people.

History is a cyclical thing, and one of the key cycles is this: a given society is fairly stable. There is a system that benefits a small group of people disproportionately but still leaves almost everyone else more or less content to shift along as best they can.

At a certain level of wealth, fame, and power, you become protected from the consequences of your actions and that also is extremely mentally unhealthy.
