Types Of Tyranny Today

That Most People Miss

Tyranny.

It is something that most people have a disdain for.

But what I find most interesting...

Is that tyranny is flourishing around us...

But many people are absolutely blind to how it plays out.

The reason...

Is that most people are focused on political tyranny...

Though in some places in the world, people completely fail to understand what “tyranny” actually is politically.

But tyranny comes in different shapes and sizes.

By definition, tyranny is “cruel and oppressive rule”.

But what many people fail to see...

Is the various forms of power dynamics outside of politics.

For instance...

We have medical tyranny.

There are organizations in power, which have purposefully created and designed research papers in ways to appear better...

Essentially scientific marketing...

While simultaneously blocking, choke holding, and burying any other perspectives and research that say anything contrary.

I know because I’ve read the research myself.

Seen how organizations purposefully skew research and results...

Design tests that will get specific findings...

And watched the court trials where these organizations go after practitioners for absolutely petty things “just” to smear the names of those practitioners...

While being unable to legally speak against the “alternative” results that those practitioners were achieving.

The result...

Is that many methodologies have been underfunded...

And fear-mongered against...

Yet could have saved countless lives while the tyrannical powers worked against the best interests of patients.

Ironic that these organizations are claiming to following the Hippocratic Oath, while actively doing everything in their power to prevent what is best for patients.

But this is not the only form of tyranny I see.

Within populations of people, I see tyranny of speech.

This is where, within communities, one group has a larger stronghold within the community...

And actively does not allow the other group have any form of say.

I have seen this dramatically increase in the States...

The supposed “home of free speech”.

Where some groups believe that it is ethically acceptable to murder others...

Just because they have a different opinion...

And then actively celebrates those murders.

That is tyranny if I have ever seen it.

Cold-blooded murder is never justified.

Self-defense is, but not murder.

This is not the end of our list though.

There is also Techno-Tyranny.

This is where a small set of organizations control the spread of digital information...

And actively prevent certain forms of information from being accessed...

Prevent the spread of some information...

And they actively destroy any other organizations that put their reigns at threat.

With this...

They actively create conditions for their workforce that are objectively terrible...

Made evidence by the spread of Group Burnout with no visible end in sight.

On top of that...

They have purposefully designed their products to be extremely addictive and terrible for our wellbeing...

Creating ecosystems with their “services”...

Which make it difficult to escape...

Treating customers as “cash cows” designed to be milked, no different than a factory farm...

Especially when these organizations are actively preventing competitive efforts.

All just a form of tyranny.

But perhaps the worst of all, in my humble opinion...

Is spiritual tyranny.

Organizations that claim to be looking out for the spiritual wellbeing of people...

While actively preventing them from asking questions...

Dictating what is or is not allowed...

Gaslighting individuals...

Emotionally abusing them...

Purposefully secluding them from outside ideas...

Designing spiritual prisons for people...

And in some cases...

Literally forcing those who disagree with them to make a choice...

To deny their beliefs, or be killed.

This is far more common than most people realize...

And there are many organizations who claim “peace”, while actively planning spiritual tyranny.

I tell you now...

Tyranny is alive and well today...

And it does not always play out politically.

If we are not careful...

These forms of tyranny will come to destroy us.

Be wary of them...

And stand tall against the tyranny.
