The ottomans had literally the worst possible form of government, is that fair to say?

>It was common for a new sultan to have his brothers killed, including infants, sometimes dozens of them at once.
>As a result, the number of people who could rightfully claim the throne was always very small, creating a situation where the dynasty could easily end just because somebody got sick and died at the wrong time
>Potential heirs to the throne kept in solitary confinement to ensure their safety
>During this time, they aren't taught anything, they're just stuck there
>So when they finally reach the throne, they're completely uneducated imbeciles with rage issues from being locked up for so long
>The result was a consistent succession of sultans who were almost unfathomably cruel, having people killed or mutilated on whim
>At least one of these sultans openly bragged about killing at least 10 innocent people per day
>Because of their extremely limited education, these sultans showed very little interest in doing anything besides fucking their harems and inflicting wanton cruelties on others for trivial (and often imaginary) offenses
