In 2025 we fight *monarchism*, a political philosophy that says those with power deserve it because they have it (social Darwinism) or because God ordained it (divine right of kings). It threatens the rights we've enjoyed for centuries, and it's winning (Putin, Trump, Bibi, Kim.)

Remember when you were a scared teen and thought that being cruel in public to people below you in status was the same thing as being funny? Some people grow past that, some don't, and those two groups are the nuclei of a new political divide that cuts across left and right.

1- There is no moral difference between a dead civilian Gazan and a dead civilian Ukrainian.
2- Israel's war on Gaza differs from Russia's war on Ukraine in important strategic and historical ways.

4- You're not 5.
