“Isn’t that what absolute monarchs and dictators do?”
Nope, it’s what a$$holes do.
I haven’t seen an absolute monarch or dictator deviate from such behavior, so I’ll take it that they are synonymous with what you’re talking about.
It manifests the behavior of an arrogant criminal mind.
He thinks himself on par with God Himself and when reality thrusts itself into his failed arrogance, his criminal mind seeks to self-justify his arrogance, and then blames everybody else for thinking in any fashion other than his own.
Whenever somebody is “offended”, and then demands apology, they aren’t seeking apology, they are lusting for approbation of their arrogance.
