All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.
Tyranny is increasingly unsustainable in this post-cold-war era. It is doomed to failure. But it must be prodded to exit the stage with a whimper - not the bang that extremists long for.

All tyranny, bigotry, aggression, and cruelty are wrong, and whenever we see it, we must never be silent.
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
