The big thing is, the word tyranny has been watered down. People don't really recognize tyranny when they see it any more. You hear the word and it sounds like nothing, like hyperbole, like a guy being dragged off a flight because hes screaming about gremlins on the wing of the plane. But tyranny is real. I think it is one of those words thats become a non-word: an abstraction, losing its concreteness by the remoteness of its meaning from everyday life, or more likely, losing its meaning to normalcy bias. A slave does not comprehend tyranny, because a slave has never known freedom.
