Living in a democracy can be a wonderful experience,
but it's important to remember that freedom shouldn't be limited by borders.
Unfortunately, major obstacles such as absolutarianism, oligarchism, and ultra-capitalist extremism
exist around the world, all of which aim to restrict the freedom of people.

To promote true freedom, these constructs must be dismantled,
and democracy itself must be democratized.

For starters, we should question the existence of monarchies that promote classism
and distract us in the alluring and most elegant ways.

It's almost as if they're the only caste allowed, which is a wicked distortion of the potential of equality.
We honor because it's tradition.

It's worth noting that presidents in Russia and China even point to the monarchs of Europe, Asia, and Africa
to justify their own desires to become emperor or tsar.
Let's not forget about our sisters and brothers around the world who are enduring oppression,
who are fighting for freedom and democracy.

Let's work to eliminate these barriers that stand in their way.
Let's start by getting rid of monarchies around the globe. Let your voice be heard.
Believe in a better world, it starts with you and me.

Monarchies must go extinct. Let's invite the 'leaders' to step down and abandon their institutions. They can keep some of the nations' heritage and we thank them for their service.
When enough of us ask them to step down, they will.

Dragons, castles, princesses, and wizards are amazing.
​
But the king's fairytale is over...
