He's not necessarily a tyrant. He DID take his government by force, but he isn't antagonistic to his people. Well, mostly. At least he isn't to those who believe.

I dunno, man. Most of what Ramses says is supposed to sound like insane troll logic. So any weirdness in his way of thinking are purely intentional.

Well, the stars were right when he was born. Which is fancy talk to say that he may or may not be the avatar of a Starspawned Lord. Even if he isn't, he does have intuitive knowledge on the nature of Hyperspace, and he somehow knows that Existence started because of a random fluctuation in the Hollow.

Simple, my friend. They're super nihilistic, yeah, but their expansionism is because they want to destroy everything. They're omnicidal maniacs, to elaborate. Ramses' master plan involves summoning the Starspawned Lords to devour Akvak-Tomen (the Embodiment of Existence) and possibly the Quiet. As for why they began to even follow him in the first place, it's sort of how Communist revolutions start. Amenhotep was an awful leader, and suddenly a godly being offers a better way of living so long as you believe? It was a matter of Cassius vs Zachary Comstock (if you're familiar with Bioshock: Infinite), to make an analogy.
