Yes,yes he should be so long has his gifts feed a starving person and save them from dying. What would you have him do? Fund a rebel movement and start a civil war to overthrow the monarch? Well CIA did plenty of that type of "philantrophy" and I think the result speaks for itself.

The King is the cause of the suffering. To partly alleviate it is not a noble act.

No. The idea it to shut up and put in actual work. Until you do that you have no clue what the causes or the symptoms are.
Should a philanthropic King that still supports and perpetuates absolute monarchy be honored for his gifts (which themselves ultimately are created by his subjects labour)?
