Get the mediocracy mug.Is a system of social imbalance where a minority (or many minority groups) dictate and set the rules for the majority to follow. Unlike Totalitarianism, Marxism, Communism, this has many people sharing ideological and moral power over the vast majority who are afraid to voice disagreement for fear of being labelled Politically Incorrect, homophobic, Xenophobic, Racist, Anti-Semitic, Anti-Islam, etc.
A Minocratic system, is where minority groups have a much louder voice and say than the majority of the population. Whether the Minocratic ideas/ideals are right, relevant or true, is of no importance, neither is the will to tolerate other ideas that differ from theirs.
A Minocratic system is the killer of free speech, free will and freedom of choice due to the fact that, in a true Democracy, men are equal and have a right to voice their opinions, Minocracies discourage these fundamental principles by trying to mould and control the way we think and feel about the world to suit their agenda.
A common tool of manipulation by a Minocratic group is guilt.
