No. The men that run these places want to live like it’s the year 800. They struggle because they govern by assassination and religious fiat. More power to them; world needs all types. Really just two rules, though: don’t try and export any of that bullshit or force it on anyone else, and at least, make a good faith effort to take care of the basic needs of the people: some public or subsidized utilities and infrastructure for food, water, and energy, some form of a healthcare system, and some system of law that’s at least capable of protecting human rights of the people, capable of policing corruption and conflicts of interest. Far right, extreme religious monarchies and dictatorships, have a real hard time with both rules; especially extremists don’t wear uniforms and who use women and kids as cannon fodder. If they can’t project any legitmate justice and peace to the territory they claim, and it gets overrun with armed religious psychopaths on a pan-national religious conquest.
Like, it’s not trespassing to go onto your neighbor’s land, right up to the front door, break it down with an axe while screaming, and then blast everyone inside with water, if’n their house is on fire and spreading to yours. This is natural law, no?
Lol.
