Good word that, hyperbolic. Probably true also. I think I understand what you mean, but not living there probably not fully.

And yes, we have the king and almost similiar worship of royalty as in UK. It still makes me shake my head some people still look up to a family craving tax money and demanding being looked upon as being "special" doing their weird ass rituals in gold and "fine" clothing. It's absurd the whole thing.

We are all equal and these medieval rituals should be gone.

Most of my fellow vikings are drowning in their own material addictions and still deep asleep and slaves to political correctness. It's sad, but there it is.
