Anarchist outlets and militants are urging me to "support Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs".

Not temporary and partial leaders. Not team captains. Not even elect officials or union leaders. No... here we're talking about hereditary chiefs. Patriarchs... but patriarchs whose authority is biologically selected by an old-school monarchy.

It's like... total WTF material... even if at least on the surface. Even if I'm totally getting the matter of a colonial dominion being enforced through a facade of liberal democracy... What have we got as a better model?

A monarchy!?
