To be fair, put ourselves in his shoes. Would we do anything at all differently? We have an entire nation under our thumb and can get basically anything we want, all of the time. We're told from birth that we have a seemingly divine right to rule (what king or queen has ever thrown away that right?), your entire family has the monopoly, and all we have to do is nod and play along.
Like, don't get me wrong, his country is in poverty while he stuffs his fat fucking face every night and he doesn't actually do anything to better his country. But seriously, why would he? What does he care? He already has it all. Everyone worships him no matter what, he's got a bangin' wife and a dapper trim. Anyone in his shoes would also keep the status quo IMO, sure we could suddenly grow a conscience from nowhere but I don't think the environment he's in exactly promotes that.
Not making excuses for the twat by any stretch, but I do find it a little strange that most everyone just simplistically places blame solely on this one person, and just views him as a maniacal tyrant grubbing for power, when it wasn't even him who gained such power in the first place and he probably has to do very little to maintain it. In actuality it's everyone else around him who does these things. Seems to me, and people might disagree on this, that he's just playing the card he's been dealt.
It's interesting to me nonetheless.
