tyranny of the majority 

Tyranny of the Majority: a slang phrase used to describe democracy by people who insist that tyranny of the minority is better.

A system where people are allowed to choose their leaders, with one person being allowed to cast one vote, is tyranny of the majority.

Tyranny Bot 

They are the social media propaganda arm of the People's Liberation Army, and the general in charge has actually outlined his methods and goals. The initial idea is to post propaganda that resonate with Americans using a libertarian angle, but with the thousands of more propagandist comments that follow demoralize us all.

The Tyranny Bot is Spamming the Forum Yet Again.
GodDamned Those Chinese Tyranny Bots.

Tyranny of the Majority 

Democracies, particularly direct democracies, are criticized by some for arguably developing “tyrannies of the majority,” where dominating political forces would successfully vote against the interests and rights of political minorities.

A bill of rights safeguards individual rights from being voted away by a tyranny of the majority.

Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats 

A condition in which the democratic will and collective welfare of the populace are subordinated to the entrenched influence of powerful conglomerates, multinational corporations, and strategically positioned non-governmental organisations. These entities, often acting as proxies for the geopolitical and economic priorities of their respective states, exercise disproportionate sway over the political process. In doing so, they erode civic freedoms, curtail liberties, and diminish the agency of ordinary citizens within the public sphere, replacing representative governance with a system governed by private interest, elite patronage, and institutional capture.

Person 1: “So what if 13 Cabinet ministers and 180 MPs have taken money from the pro-Israeli lobby? That is just politics as usual, isn’t it?”

Person 2: “No, that is the Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats, when those in power serve the interests of wealthy lobbies instead of the people who elected them.”

Tyranny of Proof

A related concept: the oppressive insistence on “proof” where proof is impossible, unnecessary, or being used to forestall action. The tyranny of proof appears in debates about climate change (demanding 100% certainty before acting), in courtrooms (requiring victims to prove trauma beyond any doubt), and in everyday interactions (asking for proof of love, pain, or identity). It shifts the burden unreasonably, allowing those who doubt to never have to engage, and those who suffer to be endlessly re‑traumatised by the demand for ever‑higher standards.

Example: “She described her harassment, and he said ‘prove it.’ The tyranny of proof meant her testimony alone was worthless, and she was forced to relive the trauma for a sceptic who would never be satisfied.”
